SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
If possible, install the blower in a well lit, clean, dry place
with plenty of room for inspection and maintenance.
FOUNDATIONS
For permanent installations we recommend concrete
foundations be provided, and the equipment should be
grouted to the concrete. It is necessary that a suitable
base be used, such as a steel combination base under
blower and motor, or a separate sole plate under each.
Before grouting, equipment must be leveled, free of all
strains, and anchored so no movement will occur dur-
ing setting of grout. After grout has completely hard-
ened, a recheck is necessary to compensate for shrink-
age, etc. If required, add shims under blower feet after
final tightening of foundation anchor bolts to remove
strain from the blower housing.
Where jack screws or wedges are used during grout-
ing, they must be backed off or removed before final
tightening of anchor bolts.
Where a concrete foundation is not feasible, care must
be taken to insure that equipment is firmly anchored to
adequate structural members.
Refer to grouting instructions.

LIFTING AND HANDLING
Reasonable care should be taken during unloading and
moving to insure against undue strain on the blower.
Eye bolts and lifting lugs are designed to support the
weight of the blower only. They are not intended to be
used to lift packages or components. See FIGURE 2.
