Gardner Denver Blower HYCLMBA

WARNING! Do not overfill oil as this will tend to cause excessive heating of the gears and may damage the unit. An overfill of oil can cause oil leaks.

Is premium grade mineral oil used?

If premium grade mineral oil is used, the oil should be drained, the gearbox flushed and the oil replaced every 1500 hours or more frequently if inspection so indicates.

While the blower is not running remove the plug from each sump.

Add oil to each sump until it reaches the middle of each oil level sight gauge.

After adding oil wait for oil level to stabilize.

Add oil to each sump until it reaches the middle of each oil level sight gauge.

Warning: Do not operate the blower if the oil level is not in the middle of the sight gauge for each sump when the blower is not running.

Check the oil level in both sumps

An overfill or excess of oil can cause oil leaks. DO NOT OVERFILL OIL.

Sign off on the daily blower check

Observe the blower for vibration, heating, noise, oil leaks and excessive air leaks.

Check for proper operation of the filters, silencers, couplings, drive belts, motor (or power unit), relief valve, check valve, gauges and other controls.

Disconnect the drive and turn the blower by hand to check for drag, tight spots, bearing wear and gear backlash. Rotation should be free with no indication of drag or metallic interference.

Inspect the interior of the blower through the inlet or discharge port for cleanliness, corrosion and contact of internal parts.

Check the tightness of all screws, bolts and nuts.

WARNING! Servicing the air filters is one of the most important maintenance operations to be performed to insure long blower 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.

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.
