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
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 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.
MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
The blower 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 1). If converting a blower from vertical to
horizontal, or horizontal to vertical mounting configura-
tion, additional mounting feet will be required.
REPOSITIONING THE MOUNTING FEET
:
1.
Position the mounting feet to the desired location
and snug the 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.
If the unit is not flat within .002 of an
inch, it will be necessary to shim the
blower feet at installation.
