RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS FOR
TUTHILL BLOWER AND VACUUM
BOOSTERS
Tuthill positive displacement blowers and
vacuum boosters require proper lubrication for
bearings, seals and gears to operate effectively
and efficiently. Oil is distributed from the oil
reservoir to the critical components by means of
oil slingers that are attached to the rotor shaft. In
certain models of CP Series blowers, a high-
performance grease rated for high temperatures
is used on the drive-end bearings.
Tuthill only recommends the use of MD full
synthetic lubricants by Tuthill in its blowers and
vacuum boosters. MD lubricants are specifically
formulated using unique additives that provide
maximum protection and extend the life of your
product over mineral oils or semi-synthetic
lubricants.
WARNING
!
Do not overfill the oil sumps. Overfilling
can result in gear damage or oil leaks.
CAUTION
!
Units are shipped without oil in the sumps.
Ensure adequate oil has been added before
operating.
Tuthill offers oils that are suitable for a wide
range of operating temperatures that are based
on model, operating speed and discharge
temperature of the product.
FOR OXYGEN-ENRICHED SERVICE
Blowers and vacuum boosters operated in
oxygen enriched applications should only use
non-flammable, PFPE full synthetic lubricants.
Blowers and vacuum boosters used in hydrogen
service should only use Tuthill MD full synthetic
oil
OTE:
N
Oxygen-enriched service only
applicable for PD Plus blowers and
vacuum boosters.
CAUTION
!
Tuthill does not accept responsibility for
damage caused by use of lubricants that
are not recommended by Tuthill.
