Gardner Denver® blowers are the result of advanced engineering and skilled manufacturing. To be assured of re-
ceiving maximum service from this machine the owner must exercise care in its operation and maintenance. This
book is written to give the operator and maintenance department essential information for day-to-day oper?~;~:\'a.
maintenance and adjustment. Careful adherence to these instructions will result in economical operation and
mum downtime.

12. Check the total end clearance with dial indicator clamped on discharge
end carrier flange, indicator button to rest on steel strap clamped between
two bearing locknuts (Figure 12). Set dial on zero and lift rotor with
pry bar placed under locknuts. With rotor as hiP as it .will go, the in-
dicator reading should be equal to the total end clearance established in
Step 5. To clieck the clearance on the other rotor, rest indicator button
on end of the shaft. Lift rotor by means of an eye bolt screwed into one
of the tapped holes and pry bar through eye bolt.

13. Assemble angular contact ball b~gs on each rotor shaft at gear enu
as shown in Figure 13. Marked face of inner bearing is placed down in
"bore"; marked face of outer bearing is placed up. The bearings are a
slip fit in the bore and a press fit on the shaft. Use lubricant on both
inner and outer races for easier installation. Assemble press plate, Figure 14,
and press bearings in bore. Figure 15 gives dimensions of press/late. Tighten nuts on jack screws evenly to prevent
cocking of bearing on shaft and in bore. It is not recommende to drive bearings in place as damage to bearing will
result. Bearings must be completely seated against shoulder in bearing carrier.

14. Install bearing clamp plate and secure with "Nylok" type screws
(Figure 16).

15. Check fit of keys in pinion and gear hub. Fit keys to both rotor
shafts for installation of pinion and gear hub.

16. For ease of disassembly and assembly, the rotor shafts and bore
of pinion and gear hub are tapered. Jam piece of hard wood or
leather belting between rotors to prevent turning while installing
gear hub and pinion. Heat gear hub and pinion in oil or dry heat -
NEVER USE TORCH - between 3250 F. and 3500 F. Allow
heat to penetrate for 30 minutes minimum. Slip the pinion on
the main rotor, install locking device (nut or clamp plate) and
pull up tight. Slip gear hub on gate rotor, install locking device
and pull up tight. Where retainer plate is used, turn it upside-down
to be sure hub is pulled tight before pilot of plate hits end o f ,
shaft (Figure 17). Tightening the locking device is very important as this operation pulls rotor shaft through bearings
until bearing spacer and shims (if used) are clamped solidly between rotor end and bearing, assuring a fixed position
of the rotor. As pinion and hub cool, retighten retainer and locknut.

17. After pinion and gear hub are cooled and tight, check disc;:harge end clearance between ends of rotor and discha7"

Installation of timing pin and bushing (see Figure 25).

a. Set timing and lock in place with four (4) socket head cap
screws.
b. Install tlminQ pin No. 8504125 In 3/8" tapped hole In
hub. Tum pm into hub until threaded end of pin Is f1Lo~.1

c. Place bushing No. 8504126 in 1/2" diameter hole in gear
over tapered end of timing pin. If tapered hole in bushing
does not line up with tapered pin, insert screwdriver
through bushing and tum pin counterclockwise until bush-
ing drops down over pin.
d. Install No. 8-32 x Si8" Ig. socket head cap screw and flat washer in end of pin and draw up tight.

NOTE: SeeN01E in the Disassembly Instructions section, page 10, for details on removal ofthe timing bushing from the gear,
