DANGER

Assure that properly sized vacuum breaks/
relief valves are used on the inlet side of
the blower. Also assure that properly sized
pressure relief valves are used on the outlet
of the blower. The sizing shall be such to
assure that the proper flow can be achieved
without exceeding the rated vacuum and
pressure ratings.
DANGER
!
Blower housing and associated
piping or accessories may
become hot enough to cause
major skin burns on contact.

to disable the electrical energy
source before any service or
work is done on the blower.

Use proper care and good procedures in

maintaining the equipment.
LUBRICATION
Every blower from Tuthill Springfield is factory-
tested, oil-drained, and shipped dry to its
installation point. Fill both oil reservoirs to the
proper level before operation.
Shaft bearings at the gear end of the blower are
splash-lubricated by one or both gears dipping
into an oil reservoir formed in the gear end plate
and cover. Shaft bearings at the back end of the
blower are lubricated by a slinger assembly dipping
into an oil reservoir. In addition to the splash
lubrication, blower series incorporate pressure
lubrication with an integral oil pump, pressure relief
valve, filter and oil-to-coolant heat exchanger.
Before starting the blower, fill the oil sumps as
described in
Filling Procedure on page 15
.
Tuthill Springfield approved mineral-based,
synthetic and food grade lubricants are listed in
Recommended Lubricants on page 41
.
WARNING
!
Never attempt to change or add lubrication
while the blower is running. Failure to heed
this warning could result in damage to the
equipment or personal injury. Oil must be
checked when the blower is NOT running.
WARNING
!
Properly dispose of the spent lubricants.
Refer to the manufacturer of the lubricant and
any regulations to assure proper and safe
disposal.
WARNING
!
Do not start the blower until you are sure oil
has been put in the gear housing and rear
cover. Operation of the blower without proper
lubrication will cause the blower to fail and
void the warranty.
