INTRODUCTION YOUR KEY TO TROUBLE FREE SERVICE

Thank you for investing in Sutorbilt qualit

y. The Sutorbuilt reputation for rugged dependability has been earned by over 50 years of service in demanding, industrial operations where downtime cannot be tolerated and efficient blower performance is expected.

Your Sutorbilt blower is a precision en

gineered blower that has been carefully manufactured and thoroughly

tested at the state-of the art Gardner Denver Blower Factory in Sedalia, Missouri. As with other precision machinery, there are several relatively simple installation, operation and maint

enance procedures that you must observe to assure optimum blower performance. There is no guesswork in the manufacture of your highly advanced Sutorbilt blower and there must be none in preparing the blower to get the job done in the field.

The purpose o

f this manual is to help you properly install, operate and maintain your Sutorbilt blower. It is essential that you review all sections of this manual in preparation for installing your blower. Follow the instructions for installing your blower. Follow

the instructions carefully and you will be rewarded with trouble-free

Sutorbilt service year in and year out.

SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT CHECK

Before uncrating, check the packing slip carefully to be sure all the parts have been received. All accessories are listed as separate items on the packing slip, and small important accessories such as relief valves can be overlooked

or lost. After every item on the packing slip has been checked off, uncrate carefully.

NOTICE

Customers are cautioned to provide adequate protection, warning and safety equipment necessary to protect personnel against hazards involved in installation and operation of this equipment in the system or facility.

STORAGE

Your Gardner Denver Blower was packaged at the factory with adequate protection to permit normal sto

rage for

up to six (6) months. If the unit is to be stored under adverse conditions or for extended periods of time, the following additional

measures should be taken to prevent damage.

1. Store the blower in a clean, dry, heated (if possible) area.

2. Make ce

rtain inlet and discharge air ports are tightly covered to prevent foreign material from entering

the air box.

3. All exposed, non-painted surfaces should be protected against rust and corrosion.

4. Provide adequate protection to avoid accidental mechanical dam

age.

5. In high humidity or corrosive environments, additional measures may be required to prevent rusting of the blower internal surfaces.

6. To prevent rusting of gears, bearings, etc., the oil reservoirs may be filled with normal operating oil.

Before running the blower, drain the oil and replace to the proper operating level with clean, fresh lubricant.

7. Rotate the blower shaft (10 to 25 turns)

week

ly during storage. Inspect the blower shaft (near the shaft

seal area) monthly

and spray with rust inhibitor if needed.

8. For long term storage (over six (6) months), contact Gardner Denver Compressor Division Customer Service for recommendations.

REMOVING PROTECTIVE MATERIALS

The shaft extensi

on is protected with rust inhibitor which can be removed with any standard solvent.

Follow the safety directions of the solvent manufacturer.

-7-

621 Page 11

Blower inlet and outlet are temporarily capped to keep out dirt and other contam

inants during shipment. These

covers must be removed before start-up. The internal surfaces of all Sutorbilt units are mist sprayed with a rust preventative to protect the machine during

shipment. Remove this film upon

initial startup, using any commerc

ial safety solvent. Position the blower so that the inlet and discharge connections are in the vertical position (vertical airflow). On vertically mounted units, it will be necessary to lay the unit on its side supporting the ends of the unit so as not t

o restrict the port on the bottom side. Place a shallow pan on the under side of the unit. With the blower disconnected from power, spray the solvent in the top port, rotating the impellers by spinning the shaft manually. Continue this procedure until t

he unit

is visibly clean.

Rotating components will cause severe injury in case of personal contact. Keep hands

and loose

clothing

away from blower inlet and discharge ports.

-7-

621 Page

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

LOCATION

Install the blower in a well lit, clean dry place with plenty of room for inspection and maintenance.

FOUNDATIONS

For permanent ins

tallation 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. Befo

re grouting, equipment must be leveled, free of all stains, and anchored so no movement will occur during setting of grout. After grout has completely hardened, a recheck is necessary to compensate for shrinkage, 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 grouting, they must be backed off and wedges removed before

final tightening of anchor bolts. Refer to grouting i

nstructions.

Where a concrete foundation is not feasible, care must be taken to insure that equipment is firmly anchored to adequate structural members, restricting movement and vibration.

MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS

The blow

er flex-mount design enables horizontal and vertical mounting configurations with top or bottom hand, right or left hand shaft positioning. The units are center timed allowing rotation in either direction (refer to Figure 2-1). If converting a blower fr

om vertical to horizontal, or horizontal to vertical mounting

configuration, additional mounting feet will be required.

REPOSITIONING THE MOUNTING FEET

1. Position the mounting feet to the desired location and snug t

he capscrew.

2. Place the blower on its feet on a flat surface.

3. Loosen mounting feet capscrews and level unit up. The bench or blower base flatness should be within .002

of an inch.

NOTICE

If the unit is not flat within .002 of an inch, it will be neces

sary to shim the blower feet at installation.

-7-

621 Page 13

FIGURE 2

-1 – BLOWER MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS

4. Secure the mounting feet capscrews to the torque value in

Figure

7-8

, page 34.

NOTICE

When changing mounting configuration, it ma

y be necessary to reposition vent plug (B), and drain

plug (A). Refer to

Figure 3-1, page 17,

for correct location.

DRIVE INSTALLATION

When selecting a V-belt drive, check to be sure the shaft overhung load limitation is not

exceeded. Refer to

FIGURE 2

-2

, page 15,

for overhung load calculations and limitations.

Belt drives must be carefully aligned. Motor and blower pulleys must be parallel to each other and in the same plane within 1/32 inch. Belt tension should be carefully adjusted to the belt manufacturer’s recommendation using a belt tension gauge. Check tension frequently during the first day of operation.

Over tightening belts leads to heavy bearing loads a

nd premature failure.

On the direct connected units, alignment and lubrication of couplings to specifications of the coupling manufacturer is very important. When mounted drives are supplied from the factory proper alignment has been established before

shipment. However, during shipping, handling and installation, it is likely that the alignment

has been disturbed and final adjustment must be made before startup.

-7-

621 Page 14

Exceeding overhung load limitations leads to unwarrantable premature bearing failure an

d shaft

breakage.

The location of the sheave on the blower shaft greatly affects the stress in the shaft. The optimum blower sheave positioning is as close as possible to the blower drive cover, not to exceed dimension “C” in Drive Shaft Illustration,

FIGURE

2-2

, page 15

The calculated shaft moment must not exceed the maximum allowable moment listed in Maximum Allowable Moment Chart,

FIGURE

2-2

page 15

. If the calculated shaft moment exceed the maximum allowable moment: Increase Sheave Diameters to Reduce Belt Pull Use Jackshaft Drive Use Direct Coupled or Gearbox Drive

To calculate shaft moment for a given V-Belt Drive Arrangement:

1. Use the formula for Calculation of Belt Pull,

FIGURE

2-2

, page 15, to calculate belt pull. Refer to Arc of

Contact Factor Chart, Figure 2-2, page 15.

2. Inse

rt the calculated belt pull into the formula for Calculation of Shaft Moment,

FIGURE

2-2,

page 15 to

arrive at the calculated shaft moment.

PIPING

Inlet and discharge

connections on all blowers are large enough to handle maximum volume with minimum friction loss. Reducing the pipe diameter on either inlet or discharge will only create additional line loss and increase the overall pressure differential. Excessive weight of piping and fittings will cause internal misalignment and premature wear. Never allow the blower to carry the weight of the pipe. If possible, a spool or sleeve-type expansion joint should be installed between the unit and the piping. Where a flexib

le connection is not practical,

the weight of the rigid connection must be separately supported. All system piping must be cleaned internally before connecting to the blower.

Sutorbilt blowers are shipped dry from the factory. Do not attempt to ope

rate the blower before following proper lubrication instructions. Permanent damage to the gears, bearings and seals will occur.

AIR FILTERS AND FILTER SILENCERS

Servicing the air filters is one of the most important maintenance operations to be performed to insure long bl

ower life.

Servicing frequency of filter elements is not time predictable. A differential pressure indicator, with a continuous gauge reading, should be installed across the inlet filter. It will tell how much of the service life of the filter element

has been used. It will also eliminate both premature filter servicing and premature blower failure due to a plugged filter when the filter pressure drop is used to establish maintenance points. In all cases refer to the filter manufacturer’s service inst

ructions. Due to the many types of filters, it is not practical to give specific instructions

covering all models.

NOTICE

No matter what type of filter is used, always make sure all seats, gaskets, clamps and hose connections on the filter and inlet line are absolutely air tight. Each time the filter is serviced, inspect interior of the blower for dirt.

SECTION 3 LUBRICATION

FIGUR

E 3

-1 -

LUBRICATION

DRIVE END LUBRICATION

Drive end bearings are grease lubricated at the factory with Lithium Complex based grease.

For relubrication,

use Gardner Denver AEON PD Grease, Part Num

ber 28H283.

AEON PD

Grease is a high temperature, high performance grease that is formulated with antiwear additives to provide superior service under the severe operating conditions of positive displacement blowers. It contains rust inhibitors which pro

vide excellent protection against rust and corrosion. If you choose not to use AEON PD Grease, select

compatible

base grease. The grease should be NLGI

Grade 2 EP, contain rust inhibitors, and be suitable for blower discharge temperatures up to 350° F

(177° C).

Completely clean or purge the factory--filled grease from the blower.

Do not mix different types of grease as

they may not be compatible. Substitutions may cause early bearing failure.

Re-grease bearings every 500 hours of operation. Lubrica

te each bearing through the grease fittings located at C in FIGURE 3-1 (2 places). When re-greasing, the old grease will be forced out of the vents (E in FIGURE 3-1). To prevent damage to seals, these vents must be open at all times.

Do not over--

gre

ase bearings as this could cause premature bearing failure.

GEAR END LUBRICATION

At the gear end, the timing gear teeth are lubricated by being partially submerged in oil. The gear teeth serve as oil slingers for gear end b

earings.

Approximate oil sump capacities are listed in FIGURE

APPROXIMATE OIL CAPACITIES

The factory recommended lubricant is AEON PD Synthetic Lubricant. AEON PD is formula

ted especially for positive displacement blowers to provide maximum protection at any temperature. One filling of AEON PD will last a minimum of 4 times longer than a premium mineral oil, depending on actual operating conditions. AEON PD contains a speci

al additive package designed for greater rust and corrosion protection.

fill with fresh AEON PD oil. If mineral oil is used, perform the above oil—change maintenance every 1500 hours. Recommended service intervals are for normal blower operating conditions. Severe operating conditions may warrant more frequent

oil

changes. Laboratory analysis of lubricant should be used to help determine the optimum oil change interval. For best performance and equipment protection, use AEON PD Synthetic Lubricant, which has been specifically

formulated for positive displacem

ent blowers. If you choose not to use AEON PD Synthetic Blower Lubricant,

select an oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foam additives, and the viscosities listed in FIGURE

3-4,

page 19. Do not use an oil that contains EP additives.

NOTICE

ush the oil whenever a change is made from one type of oil to another.

Drain the current lubricant as thoroughly as possible. Refill with the new lubricant. Fill to normal level of the blower, which is at the middle of the sight glass when the machine

is not operating. Run the blower for one hour.

Shut off the blower and drain the lubricant completely. Refill the blower again with the new lubricant.

SECTION 4 OPERATION

Future operating problems can be avoided if proper precautions are observed wh

en the equipment is first put into

service. Before starting under power, the blower should be turned over by hand to make certain there is not binding or

internal contact. Each size blower has limits on pressure differential, running speed and discharge

temperature which must not be

exceeded. These limits are shown in “Maximum Operating Limitations”,

FIGURE

4-1

, below.

Operating beyond the specified operating limitations will result in damage to the unit.

t is important that the pressures and temperatures are measured directly at the ports of the blower to avoid error

that may be caused by intervening pipe runs, fittings, etc. Relief valves must be used to protect against excessive pressure or vacuum condi

tions. These valves should be tested at initial startup to be sure they are adjusted to relieve at or below the maximum pressure differential rating of the blower.

NOTICE

Relief valves should be placed as close as possible to the blower inlet or dischar

ge.

In some instances, pressure may be relieved at a lower point than the blower maximum in order to protect the motor or the equipment served by the blower.

Discharge temperature switches are recommended to protect against excessive inlet restriction o

r inlet temperatures. Check valves in the discharge line on pressure blowers and in the inlet line on vacuum blowers are recommended to protect the blower from motoring backwards when shut down under load.

BLOWER STARTUP CHECKLIST

This startup procedure should be follow

ed during the initial installation and after any shutdown periods

or after the blower has been worked on or moved to new location. It is suggested that the steps be followed in sequence and checked off (

v) in the boxes provided.

Check the unit and all piping for foreign material and clean if required.

Check the fla

tness of the feet and the alignment of the drive. Feet that are bolted down in a bind can cause housing distortion and internal rubbing. Misaligned V-drives can cause the rotors to rub against the headplates and cause a reduction in the volumetric effici

ency of the unit.

Misaligned couplings can ruin bearings.

If the blower is V-belt driven, check the belt tension and alignment. Over-tensioned belts create heavy bearing/shaft loads which lead to premature failure.

Be sure adequate drive guards are in place to protect the operator from severe personal injury and

incidental contact.

Check the unit for proper lubrication. Proper oil level cannot be over-emphasized. Too little oil will ruin bearings and gears. Too much oil will cause overheating and

can ruin gears and cause

other damage. Insure that grease lubricated bearings are properly lubricated.

With motor electrical power locked out and disconnected, turn the drive shaft by hand to be certain the impellers do not bind.

“Jog” the unit with

the motor a few times to check that rotation is in the proper direction, and to be

certain it turns freely and smoothly.

The internal surfaces of all Sutorbilt units are mist sprayed with a rust preventive to protect the machine during the shipping and i

nstallation period. This film should be removed upon initial

startup.

Start the unit and operate 15 minutes at no load. During this time, check for hot spots and other indications of interference.

10.

Apply the load and observe the operation of the unit

for one hour. Check frequently during the

first day of operation.

11.

If malfunctions occur, do not continue to operate. Problems such as knocking rotors can cause serious damage if the unit is operated without correction.

621 Page 22

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate blower with open inlet or outlet port.

Do not exceed specified vacuum or pressure limitations.

Do not operate above or below recommended blower speed range.

Blower is not to be used where non-sparking equipment is

specified.

Do not operate without belt guard or coupling shield.

Do not exceed sheave or coupling manufacturer’s rim speed limit.

The blower and blower discharge piping may be extremely hot and cause skin burns on contact.

SECTION 7 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE

Numbers in parentheses ( ) refer to key numbers in assembly drawings on p

ages 35, 37, 39 and 41.

1. Make sure all metallic parts are clean and free of any nicks or burrs.

2. Lubricate the outside diameter of the lip seal (15) with a light oil or grease. Install

seals in both the drive

headplate (24) and gear headplate (18). The

seal lip should always face towards the bearing or lubricant. New

seals should be installed each time the headplate is removed.

NOTICE

Make sure seals are fully seated. Use extreme care when installing.

MECHANICAL SEALS ONLY

A. Lightly coat the headplate bores with assembly lubricant. B. Refer to Figure 7-1. Install mechanical seal (A) into the headplate bore (C) using a press and the

correct driver shown on page 24. Drive the seal securely on to its seat.

Use extreme care when installing seals in the headplate bores. Do not attempt to install the mechanical seals without the use of a press. Blows from a hammer or mallet can damage the fragile seal surface. Too much force can crush the seal

casing. Make certain the seal is properly seated

and undamaged before proceeding.

FIGURE 7

621 Page 29

3. Assemble gear headplate (18) and mounting foot (17) to the impeller case with cap screws (21) and where the mo

unting foot is secured to the headplate use capscrews (16). The two positioning dowel pins (19) will ensure proper alignment of the headplate and impeller case. Also secure lifting lugs using capscrews (21) (see exploded assembly drawing on

page 35. Ref

er to Figure

7-8

, page 34, for torque specifications.

Seals are delicate; use extreme care when installing impeller shafts in the headplate bores. A piece of light shim stock wrapped around the shaft keyway will prevent cutti

ng the seal lip.

4. Apply a light oil or grease on the shaft seal areas and the bearing areas. Insert impellers into the gear headplate using the same headplate bores as used in the original assembly.

5. Position blower so that impellers are vertical, with t

he drive end on top. It will be necessary to use blocks in

order for the unit to set level. Measure the total end clearance using a depth micrometer (see Figure 7-2).

NOTICE

If more than .007” shim is required, put .007” on the drive end and the remain

ing on the gear end.

If total clearance is not within the limits specified in Figure 7-4, page 30, it may be necessary to shim the case to obtain the proper total end clearance. The shim should be placed between the drive headplate and impeller case.

ssemble drive headplate (24) to impeller case as in step 3 with the gear headplate. If shims were required,

place shims between drive headplate and impeller case.

MECHANICAL SEALS ONLY

A. Refer to Figure 7-1, page 28. Lightly

coat the impeller shaft (H) and the inside diameter of the mating

ring (B) with assembly lubricant.

B. Install the mating ring (B) on the shaft only far enough to get the bearing (E) started on the shaft.

Do not drive the matin

g ring down to the mechanical seal, as this can damage the seal.

Lightly lubricate the bearing inner race (E) with a light oil or grease.

Using a press, install the bearing on the shaft with the bearing driver shown on page 24.

The bearing driver will position the mating ring (B) to the correct depth with respect to the mechanical

seal (A).

7. Apply a light oil to the drive headplate bearing bore, bearing inside diameter, and shaft seat. Install the drive end bearings (14) as far as possible without force.

8. Attach the puller plate shown on

page 23 to the drive headplate using the tapped holes used to secure the

drive cover (see FIGURE

7-3

, page 29). Tighten the bolts so that the advance of the bearings stay as

uniform as possible. Bearings should be pressed until flush with the drive headplate.

9. Lubricate the gear end b

earing fits with a light oil as described previously. Install gear end bearings (14) as far as possible without force. Use the plate, used to install the drive end bearings, to press the bearings on the shafts as described in Step 8. Press bearings into the gear headplate until completely seated in the bearing bore.

NOTICE

Bearings will not be flush with gear headplate bores when completely seated.

10. Impellers should now be checked for free axial movement by hitting the ends of the impeller shaft

s with the

palm of your hand.

11. Push the impellers against the gear headplate and recheck the total end clearance between the drive headplate and the impellers (see FIGURE 7-4).

A. If total end clearance is insufficient, loosen impeller case to headp

late bolts on either headplate, and move the headplate away from the case far enough to insert a paper shim in the amount equal to the insufficient clearance. Retighten case bolts and again check the total end clearance. Refer to FIGURE

7-4

for corre

ct clearance.

B. Excessive end clearances normally will require new impeller assemblies, but in some

circumstances the

impeller case can be removed and reduced in width by machining off the amount of excess clearance.

-7-

621 Page 31

These

impeller-to-impeller and impeller-to-case clearances are extremely critical. Even though the blower may turn freely by hand when cold, under operating conditions, the parts expand, and the rotors are subject to slight defection.

If the clearances are not

sufficient, the impellers may contact each other or the housing with destructive results. If the clearances are too great, the blower may not develop the pressure or airflow that is required to perform its function.

12. Impeller tip to case clearance shoul

d be checked at this time by inserting the correct thickness feeler gauge between the tip and the case and rotating the impeller (see FIGURE 7-4, page 30). Repeat the procedure on both impellers.

NOTICE

When checking the tip to case clearance, move the

feeler gauge over the entire length of the impeller

to ensure that the tips do not bind along their length.

13. INSTALLING THE TIMING GEARS

A. Apply a light grease, or oil, on the shaft area where the timing gear will be pos

itioned.

B. Place feeler stock in the amount of 1/3 of the total end clearance between drive headplate and both

impellers. This will stop the impellers from contacting the headplate while the gears are being driven on.

FIGURE 7

-5

If installing gears on a blower containing mechanical seals, a press must be used to drive the gears on the shafts. Blows from a hammer or mallet will damage the seal.

Secure the bearing retainer plate (12) to the gear headplate using capscrews (10). Refer to

FIGURE

7-8

, page 34, for torque specifications.

If reusing the timing gears, the gears should be returned to their original positions. Use taper pin holes and matchmarks for correct positioning.

NOTICE

Replac

ement gears have minimum backlash marks on the outside diameter of the gear face. These

marks should be located 180 degrees from each other (see FIGURE 7-5).

E. Using the driving tool shown on page 23, drive one gear flush with the end of the shaft and re-

ream the

original hole between the shaft and the gear if movement between the shaft and gear was negligible. If re

reaming fails to eliminate edges set up by re-timing, drill a new hole approximately 90 degrees from the original hole. Apply a thin coat o

f Loctite 620 to the taper pin and install the taper pin in the reamed hole between the shaft and the gear. Control the depth of the taper pin leaving approximately 1/8 in, taper pin protruding beyond the end of the shaft.

-7-

621 Page 32

NOTICE

If gears are being rep

laced, taper pin holes must be drilled after the gears are correctly positioned.

Be careful not to let cuttings drop behind the gears and contaminate the bearings.

Be careful not to let cuttings drop behind the gears and co

ntaminate the bearings.

F. Place impellers in the position shown in FIGURE

7-4

, page 30. Check to be sure impellers are in correct

position as previously match marked.

G. Drive the mating gear on the other shaft within 1/2” of being flush with the end

of the shaft.

Refer to diagram in

FIGURE 7-4, page 30. Use feeler gauges to check clearances between impeller

lobes at

positions A--

A and C--

C. Add the clearances, and divide the total clearance evenly between A--A

and C

--C.

I. If the lobe clearance is not equal between A--

A and C

--C, the impellers require shifting relative to the gears. Insert a feeler gauge .010 inch larger than required clearance between the impellers at the tight spot and rotate the impellers wed

ging the feeler gauge between the lobes. Place the driving tool against the gear that is not flush with the end of the shaft, and strike the driver with a quick blow. This will drive the gear further onto the shaft, causing it to turn relative to the s

haft due to the torque value set--up by the

oversized feeler gauge wedged between the impeller lobes. Adjust so that the clearance at A--

A is equal to C--C within .001 inch. Clearances must be checked on both sides of each impeller lobe over the entire length. This procedure may require repeating several times until the impeller lobe clearance is equal on both sides.

NOTICE

The gear used for adjustment should be flush with its mate on completion of the timing.

J. Check gear backlash four places a

t 90 degree intervals as described in the disassembly procedure

(Item 4).

NOTICE

If any of the four gear backlash readings are not within the specified limits, the gears must be replaced.

14. After timing adjustments are completed, re-

ream the origin

al hole between shaft and adjustment gear if movement between the shaft and gear are negligible. If reaming fails a new hole approximately 90 degrees from the original hole. Apply a thin coat of Loctite 620 to the taper pin and install the taper pin in

the reamed

hole between the shaft and gear.

NOTICE

Replacement gears are not drilled. These holes must be drilled after the gears are in the proper position and the unit retimed.

15. SETTING IMPELLER END CLEARANCES

Refer to FIGURE

7-6

, page 33. The outer races of the gear end bearings are clamped against the headplate

(F) by the bearing retainer (B). This is referred to as the “fixed end”. The interference fit between the shaft and the bearing inner race

(H) keeps the shaft from moving axially. Adjustment is by movement of the shaft through the gear end bearing inner race (H).

A. Check the total end clearance by adding the clearance between the impellers and the drive headplate to

the clearance bet

ween the impellers and the gear headplate.

-7-

621 Page 33

NOTICE

Check the clearance over the entire width of the impeller and consider the tightest spot.

B. Divide the total end clearance by 3 and distribute approximately 1/3 on the gear end and t

he remaining

2/3 on the drive end.

To move the impeller assembly toward the drive end, lightly tap the shaft at the gear end with a soft face mallet.

To set the fixed end, insert the feeler gauge in the amount specified in FIGURE 7-4, page 30, be

tween the

headplate and the impeller at the gear end.

E. Insert a mild steel or soft metal rod thru the small hole in the gear (9). Tap lightly until the feeler gauge is

snug. Adjust both impellers using the same procedure. Rotate the impellers checki

ng for clearance

through a complete revolution (see FIGURE 7-7).

SETTING IMPELLER END CLEARANCE WITH MECHANICAL SEALS

Refer to FIGURE 7-1, page 28. The gear end bearings are held in position

by the force created by the wavy spring (J) on the drive end and the bearing retainer (K) on the gear end. This is referred to as the fixed end. The interference fit between the shaft (H) and the bearing inner race (E) keeps the shaft from moving axially

End clearance adjustment is by movement of the bearing retainer (K). Tightening the bearing retainer screws (M) moves the bearing to load the wavy spring (J), and the impeller is forced toward the drive end. Relaxing the screws allows the wavy sprin

g to return the impeller toward the gear end.

A. Assemble drive cover to drive headplate. Refer to Step 16 with the exception of the use of wavy springs

(J) installed between the drive end bearings and the drive cover.

B. Back out retainer screws (M) u

ntil both impellers are tight against the gear headplate.

With feeler gauge, measure the clearance between each impeller and the drive headplate. This value is the total end clearance.

Measure the clearance between the gear headplate and bearing

retainer (K) at point (S).

E. Subtract 1/3 of the total end clearance from the clearance measured at point (S). This value is the

amount of shim (13) that should be placed between the retainer and the headplate at point (S).

F. Tighten the bearing reta

iner screws (M) to the torque value given in FIGURE

7-8

, page

34. With the retainer screws secure, approximately 1/3 of the total end clearance should be on the gear end and the remaining 2/3 on the drive end.

FIGURE 7

16. Replace drive shaft grease seal (31) in

the drive end cover (29). The seal lip should always face towards the bearing or lubricant. Pack bearing cavities with recommended grease and secure drive cover with capscrews (30) to drive headplate. Refer to FIGURE 7-8 for torque specifications.

Exercise care not to damage the seal lip as it passes over the shaft keyway.
