5. Remove the old wiper blade from the airlock.
6. Insert the new wiper blade into the airlock and loosely install the mounting hardware.
7. Adjust the position of the wiper blade to achieve the correct position in relation to the
tips. Polymer wiper blades should overlap the tips approximately 1/16 in (1.5 mm). Solid
wiper blades must have a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76 mm) and a maximum
clearance of 0.060 in (1.5 mm), check the clearance using a feeler gauge. Reference
Figure 7-2
and
Figure 7-3
.
8. Once positioned correctly, tighten the mounting hardware to secure in position, refer to
Section 8: Specifications
for the correct torque.
9. Reinstall and/or close any auxiliary components removed and/or opened to gain access
to the airlock inlet and secure all guards in place.
Rotor Shaft Bearing Grease Packing
To maintain smooth rotation of the airlock rotor, the rotor shaft bearing must remain properly
lubricated. For abrasive style airlocks, it is important that the shaft bearing is repacked with
grease after the first 200 hours of operation. For all other styles of airlocks, the bearings should
be repacked with grease as required to reduce wear, protect against corrosion, aid in
evacuation of debris, and maintain thermal balance. During operation, monitor the sound of the
bearing and take note of any changes or abnormal sounds as this may indicate bearing wear or
damage.
To repack the bearing, proceed as follows:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop and lock-out the power source, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
3. Remove the fasteners securing the seal plate in place and remove the seal plate.
