Power Blower Information

The ®Tempest Power Blower is a high
powered, portable blower used for Positive
Pressure Ventilation (PPV), a ventilation
technique that quickly and efficiently replaces
hazardous interior environments.

PPV was pioneered in the fire fighting industry
where fire fighters use the ®Tempest Power
Blower to ventilate smoke, heat, and harmful
gases from buildings. This creates a safer
environment for them to work in and makes it
easier for them to find victims and extinguish
the fire.

Figure 1.

PPV relies on two principles, (1) a cone shaped
air pattern, and (2) pressure. To accomplish
Positive Pressure Ventilation, the blower is
placed on the outside of the structure. It is
positioned so that the cone shaped air pattern
created by the blower completely seals the
entrance opening (Figure 1.3). When this seal
is achieved, the air pressure is increased
equally at all points inside the structure. When

General Information 3.6

Power Blower Information continued…

an exhaust opening is created, all of the interior
air moves in one mass towards it. The result is
fast, efficient ventilation of the entire structure.

For additional information on how to
accomplish PPV, refer to “PPV Set-Up
Procedures” in this Manual.

Note:

The ®Tempest Power Blower is the most
efficient tool for PPV for two reasons. First,
the exclusive Tempest tapered shroud design
creates a wide, stable, conical air pattern.
Second, the seven blade air movement impeller
used on all Tempest blowers is designed to
create high pressure. These two features make
the ®Tempest Power Blower such a powerful
ventilation tool.

As with any new technique, Positive Pressure
ventilation requires training and education in
order to be implemented properly and safely.
Tempest offers a complete PPV TRAINING
PROGRAM, which covers many applications
of this powerful ventilation technique. For
more information contact your local dealer or
the Tempest factory direct for a free brochure
on PPV.

CLEANING AIR FILTER ELEMENTS

Foam Element:

1. Wash the element in a solution of household

detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly.
Allow the element to dry completely.

2. Soak the element in clean engine oil, and squeeze

out the excess oil. NOTE: the engine will smoke
during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the
foam element.

Maintenance 5.2

Maintenance Procedures continued…

Paper Element:

1. To remove excess dirt, tap the element lightly

several times on a hard surface or blow
compressed air through the filter from the inside
out.

2. Do not try to brush the dirt off. Brushing will

force dirt into the filter fibers.

3. Replace the element if it becomes excessively

dirty.

COOLING SYSTEM

Frequently remove dirt and debris from the
cooling fins, air intake screen, levers and linkage.
This will ensure adequate cooling and correct
engine speed. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s
Owners Manual for additional cooling system
information.

A correctly firing spark plug is essential for the
power blower to operate properly. Check the
engine spark plug yearly or every 100 hours by
following the listed procedures.

1. Clean the area around the spark plug.

2. Remove and inspect the spark plug.

3. Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are pitted,

burned, or the porcelain is cracked. Check the
electrode gap with a wire feeler gauge and set to
the engine manufacturer’s specifications.

Maintenance 5.3

Maintenance Procedures continued…

4. Make sure the spark plug washer is in good

condition, and hand start the spark plug to prevent
cross threading.

5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark

plug wrench to compress the washer.

CARBURETOR

BLADE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR DD16

1. Make sure that the shaft and keyway are clean and
smooth before installing the blade.

2. Insert the cap screws through the clearance holes
in the bushing and place loosely into the hub of
the blade. Do not press the bushing in. Hand start

3. Insert the cap screws, turning them just enough to
engage the threads in the tapped holes on the hub.
The bushing should be loose in the hub. Insert the
key into the keyway (Figure 4.9). Tighten two
bolts drawing the bushing and hub together.

Figure 4.9

Figure 4.10

4. Slide the blade onto the bushing/hub assembly
and insert the three screws through the blade and
turn evenly but do not tighten. Make sure blade is
in line with hub then tighten screws (Fig. 4.10).
Locate the blade and bushing so that the blade tips
do not hit the rear grill eyelets. On some models
the blade and bushing may be in beyond or out
away from the end of the shaft up to ¼” but no
further. This is necessary for proper blade
clearance.

5. Tighten the cap screws progressively with a
wrench. Tighten each cap screw partial turns
successively until both are tight. Final tightening
should be done with torque wrench with the
torque set at 7.5 ft./lbs. for each screw. Over
tightening will cause the cap screws to break or
crack the blade. (Figure 4.10)

Maintenance 5.9

Maintenance Procedures continued…

6. Carefully turn the blade and check for clearance
between the blade and shroud. Confirm that the
blade is free to rotate without hitting other parts.

7. Reinstall the front grill and test the blower.

8. If you have any trouble removing or installing the
blade on your blower, contact the factory for
assistance at 800-346-2143.

PPV Set-up Procedures

Single Blower Placement

When using one blower, it should be positioned so
that the cone of pressurized air just covers the
entrance opening (Figure 5.1). If the blower is
too close to the opening, the opening will not be
completely covered by pressurized air. If the
blower is too far from the opening, pressurized air
will strike the building around the opening and
reduce the amount of pressurized air being forced
inside the building. Therefore, optimum
placement is dependent on the size of the entrance
opening, the size of the blower, and the distance
between the blower and the entrance opening.

Figure 5.1

Due to the size of the "cone" of air issued from a
blower, small blowers need to be moved back
from entrance openings while larger blowers
should be placed closer to entrance openings to
properly cover the opening with pressurized air.

By tilting blowers back about 17° maximum, the
entrance opening may be more effectively
covered with the cone of air. All Tempest
Blowers have "tilt-back” features to facilitate
operation. However, if a blower cannot be tilted

PPV Set-Up Procedures 6.1

PPV Set-up Procedures continued…

back to achieve proper coverage of the entrance
opening with pressurized air, move it as far back
as possible from the entrance opening. This
technique can be used effectively on raised
porches to achieve a seal.

Multiple Blower Placement

The use of more than one blower can dramatically
increase airflow (volume) and reduce the time
necessary to complete a ventilation operation.

For standard entrance openings (that is, door
openings of three feet by six and one-half feet),
maximum effectiveness is achieved by placing
two blowers "in-line" with each other. As in
(Figure 5.2), blower A is positioned about two
feet from the entrance opening. This ensures that
all of the pressurized air from the blower enters
the building, yet allows sufficient room for
personnel to enter and exit the building. Blower
B is then positioned behind blower A. The proper
location for blower B is determined by the

Figure 5.2

distance necessary to cover the entrance opening
with pressurized air. Blower B covers the

PPV Set-Up Procedures 6.2

PPV Set-up Procedures continued…

entrance opening with pressurized air and
increases the capacity of blower A by
approximately ten percent.

For standard entrance openings, multiple blowers
in a parallel (side-by-side) configuration are less
effective than multiple blowers in an in-line
configuration. However, for large entrance
openings, multiple blowers in a parallel
configuration (Figure 5.3) should be used due to
their combined ability to cover the larger opening
with pressurized air. The size of the opening
dictates the numbers of blowers necessary to
cover the opening with combined cones of
pressurized air.

Remember that some openings (such as loading­dock doors) can be reduced in size by partially
closing the door to reduce the size of the entrance
opening that must be covered by pressurized air.
Depending on the number of blowers that are
available, large areas may be effectively
ventilated by using a combination of parallel
(proper coverage of the opening) and in-line
(increased volume) blowers.

Areas or locations that do not have openings that
can be used as exhaust openings (storage rooms,
offices, enclosed work areas, etc.) can be
effectively ventilated by using multiple blowers as
depicted below.

Use a blower to provide a flow of air past the
opening. This blower can be located outside the
building to provide pressurized air to the interior

PPV Set-Up Procedures 6.3

PPV Set-up Procedures continued…

of the building and past the area to be ventilated.
The blower should be placed in the bottom
portion of the opening and will provide
pressurized air that will create positive pressure
within the area to be ventilated and force the
contaminants out of the upper portion of the
entrance opening. The air flowing past the
entrance opening will force the exhausting
contaminants to follow its direction to the exterior
of the building.

Figure 5.3

Exhaust Opening

Positive pressure ventilation is most effective
when the exhaust opening (window, door, etc.) is
between three-fourths to twice the size of the
entrance opening (Figure 5.4). This variance is
due to the number and CFM’S of the blower(s)
utilized and can be summarized as follows:

PPV Set-Up Procedures 6.4

PPV Set-up Procedures continued…

Figure 5.4

1. A single blower powered by 1/3 HP to 4 HP
electric motor or gas engine is most effective
when utilized with exhaust openings that are
three-fourths or slightly less than the size of the
entrance opening.

2. A single blower powered by 5 HP, 5.5 HP, or 6.5
HP engine is most effective when utilized with
exhaust opening that is the same size or slightly
larger than the size of the entrance opening.

3. A single blower powered by 10 HP or 13 HP
engine is most effective when utilized with
exhaust opening that is about one and one-half the
size of the entrance opening.

4. Multiple blowers powered by 5 HP or larger
engines in parallel or series configurations are
most effective when utilized with exhaust
openings that are approximately twice the size of
the entrance opening.

PPV Set-Up Procedures 6.5

PPV Set-up Procedures continued…

Remember that these guidelines have been
generalized and that optimum efficiency is easily
obtained by a combination of training and
experience.

Exhaust

If a gasoline-powered blower is being utilized and
a gasoline-exhaust odor is noticeable inside the
building or area to be ventilated, this is an
indication that the building's exhaust opening is
not large enough. The gasoline-exhaust odor
should disappear by increasing the size of the
building's exhaust opening (opening another
window, door, etc.)

Weather

Temperature, humidity, snow, and rain do not
have any appreciable effect on positive pressure
ventilation. Although cold, damp weather
conditions may limit the ability of smoke to rise;
these atmospheric conditions will not limit the
ability of blowers to move contaminants
horizontally and, in most cases, vertically.

Wind can have an adverse effect on positive
pressure ventilation, but its effect is dependent on
direction and velocity. As in any ventilation
operation, maximum efficiency can be obtained
by using the prevailing wind direction to
advantage by pressurizing the structure on the
windward side and exhausting contaminants on
the leeward side of the building. If it is not
possible to utilize the prevailing wind as an
advantage, positive pressure has proven effective
against winds of up to 25 mph. As winds exceed
25 mph, efficiency reduces accordingly.

PPV Set-Up Procedures 6.6

Blower Troubleshooting

Many factors can contribute to or be the sole
cause of problems for gas and electric power
blowers. This section will identify some of these
problems and provide solutions to correct
them.

Blower fails to start

• CHECK FOR FUEL IN THE TANK; MAKE
SURE THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE IS
OPEN.

• CHECK THE FUEL LINE TO DETERMINE IF
THE CARBURETOR IS GETTING FUEL.

• CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, HONDA ENGINES
ARE EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC OIL
ALERT SYSTEMS. THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START IF OIL IS LOW.

• CHECK THE SPARK PLUG FOR A SPARK:

1. Remove the spark plug wire, clean any dirt from
around the spark plug base and remove the plug.

2. Install the spark plug into the plug cap.

3. Ground the plug to the engine and pull the starter
to see if a spark jumps the gap. DO NOT HOLD
THE SPARK PLUG IN YOUR HANDS; hold
the spark plug cap or wire.

4. If a spark is present, replace the spark plug and
wire then try starting the engine.

5. If the blower still does not start contact the factory
or your local engine dealer.

Blower Troubleshooting 7.1

Troubleshooting continued…
Poor Blower Performance

• CHECK THE AIR FILTER FOR
CLEANLINESS, CLEAN IF DIRTY- REFER
TO PAGE 5.2.

• IF THE BLOWER IS A BELT-DRIVE, MAKE
SURE THE BELT(S) IS/ARE TIGHT. REFER
TO PAGE 5.4 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON
CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE
BELT(S).

• IF THE BLOWER IS A DIRECT-DRIVE,
MAKE SURE THE BLADE IS TIGHT. REFER
TO PAGE 5.6

• IF THE FUEL IS MORE THEN TWO MONTHS
OLD, REPLACE THE FUEL WITH FRESH
FUEL.

Blower Movement or “Walking”

• ADJUST THE RUBBER FOOTPADS ON THE
BACK OF THE BLOWER BY TURNING
THEM EITHER IN OR OUT. ADJUST THE
SIDE THAT IS WALKING. THIS WILL HELP
TO EVENLY DISTRIBUTE THE WEIGHT OF
THE BLOWER TO ALL FOUR POINTS OF
THE FRAME.

• MOST BLOWERS WILL WALK IF NOT
RUNNING AT FULL SPEED, MAKE SURE
THE BLOWER IS RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED.

• MAKE SURE THE BLOWER IS SITTING

FLAT AND NOT ON SMALL ROCKS OR
OTHER OBJECTS
