5.2.6 BLOWER OIL CHANGING AND BREATHER CLEANING
The gears that drive and time the blower lobes run
in an oil bath for lubrication. Maintaining the correct
level in the reservoirs and changing every 100 hours
will insure proper lubrication.
When maintaining the blower, follow this procedure:
1.
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
2.
Before servicing, adjusting, repairing or maintain-
ing unit, ensure that unit power source is com-
pletely shut down and can not start up. Lock-out
tag-out power source.
3.
Remove anchor bolts and remove the belt drive
covers.
4.
Checking Oil Level:
a.
Remove the level plug in each reservoir or
check the sight glass.
b.
Oil in the reservoir should just fill the threads
of the level plug hole.
c.
Add oil if low or allow the reservoir to drain if
over-filled (Use Walinga
®
Super Duty Blower
Oil Part # 98-13813-5).
d. Install and tighten the level plug.
e.
Install and secure the belt/chain covers.
IMPORTANT:
It is necessary to maintain the recom-
mended oil level in the reservoir. A low
level causes heating from lack of lu-
brication and rapid gear and bearing
wear. Too much oil causes heating from
oil churning and can cause seal and
breather leaks.
IMPORTANT:
Check the level only when the oil is
cold and the machine is level.
