FOREWORD

We would like to thank you at the outset for purchasing the Heywel Roots blower. We have
though already done strict inspections on every detail of our blowers before shipment, there
might be possible accidents occurred due to incorrect operation. Therefore, we strongly
recommend the users to fully read this operation manual before proceeding with operations.


DANGER
Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard which
will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage if the warning is ignored.
WARNI NG
Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard
which can cause severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.
CAUTI ON
Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard which
will or can cause minor personal injury or property
damage if the warning is ignored.
NOTI CE
Notice is used to notify people of installation, operation or
maintenance information which is important but not
hazard-related.


SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety is everyone should paying attention and is based on your used of good common sense. All situations or
circumstances cannot always be predicted and covered by established rules. Therefore, use your past
experience, watch out for safety hazards and be cautious. Some general safety precautions are as follows:


DANGER


Failure to observe these notices could result in injury to or death of personnel.

Keep fingers and clothing away from blower inlet and discharge ports,
revolving belts, sheaves, pulleys, etc.

Do not use the air discharge form this unit for breathing not suitable
for human consumption.

Do not loosen or remove the oil filler plug, drain plugs, covers, or break
any connection, etc., in the blower air or oil system until the unit is shut
down and the air pressure has been relieved.

Electrical shock can and may be fatal.

Blower unit must be grounded in accordance with the Local Electrical
Code. A ground jumper equal to the size of the equipment ground
conductor must be used to connect the blower motor base to the unit
base.

Open main disconnect switch, tag and lockout before working on the
control.

Disconnect the blower unit from its power source, tag and lockout
before working on the unit the equipment may be automatically
controlled and may start at any time.

WARNI NG


Failure to observe these notices could result in damage to equipment.

Stop the unit if any repairs or adjustments on or around the blower are
required.

Disconnect the blower unit from its power source, tag and lockout
before working on the unit the equipment may be automatically
controlled and may start at any time.

Do not exceed the design speed.

Do not operate unit if safety devices are not operating properly. Check
periodically. Never bypass safety devices.

INSTALLATION

1. Foundation masonry is not necessary to be over concerned for the blowers. 3-lobe design
provides slight vibration within 0.01~0.02 mm. It only needs a flat surface.
2. Free space for men should be kept around the blower surroundings for the convenience of
future maintenance.
3. Ensure that the suction pipe is properly located, so that it can intake enough fresh air.
4. If the blower room is narrow, a ventilator is necessary. Because when the room temperature
is above 50, blower motor life will be hugely reduced.


WARNI NG


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



NOTI CE


If the unit is not flat, it will be necessary to shim the
blower feet at installation.



OPERATION

Please carefully check on the following items before operating the blower.
1.Piping:
a. Clean inside of pipes, and remove any fragments and sundries that are resident inside the pipes.
b. Make sure that all the joints are tightly fixed.
c. Valves should be fully opened.


CAUTI ON


Do not operate the unit with discharge valve shut off.



NOTI CE


Safety valves should be placed as close as possible to the blower
discharge. It should be tested and adjusted at the initial
startup and adjusted thereafter.

2.Electrical Wiring:
a. Wire connections must be securely fastened, and the rating power should be correct.


DANGER


Blower unit must be grounded in accordance with the Local
Electrical Code. Electrical shock can and may be fatal.


3.Direction of Rotation:
a. The rotation direction must be right in the direction of the arrow, wrong direction will cause
intake of water. If water had been sucked into blower casing, correct the rotation direction to the
arrow direction, and operate the blower for about 30~60 minutes, water will be thoroughly blown
out.

WARNI NG


Rotating components will cause severe injury in case of
personal contact. Keep hands away from blower inlet and
discharge ports.



CAUTI ON


Ensure that the direction of rotation is correct.


4.Lubrication Oil:
a. Confirm that the oil level line on the gear cover is in the middle of the oil level gauge. Fully
change the oil every month.


b. The bearing grease must be heat-resist grease which can resist high temperature up to 200.
Supply assigned grease once every month.


WARNI NG


Do not overfill with gear oil as this will tend to cause excessive
heating of the gears and bearings and may damage the unit.
Ensure proper oil level should be at the centerline of oil gauges
when the blower is not in operation.



CAUTI ON


Ensure proper grade of gear oil is used.


Pay attention to any abnormal events (in sound, pressure, current, temperatureetc) that occur
during operation. When something happened, immediately stop the blower and check how it is
caused. Carelessness of any above abnormalities might cause serious damage to the blower.

INSPECTION

Elements that may influence on the service time of the blowers are many, though. Regular maintenance
and inspection on the blowers will ensure performance and lengthen service time of the blowers.
Following are criteria table on inspection and troubleshooting table:

1.General Inspection:

Every
3months
Remarks
Clean sundries from
pipes
No residents should be inside the pipelines.
Make sure joints are
firmly fixed

Where the joints that blower and pipe are
connected.
Open all valves Fully opened
Make sure Check
Valve is in good
condition

Make sure that the valve body can be
smoothly moved.
Check the wiring
connections
Wires must be tightly connected.
Check Gear Oil Level On the middle of level gauge.
Check Safety Valve
operation

Confirm with discharge side valve
operation.
Check Power Voltage
and Current

Voltage: within 10% of rated voltage.
Current: below rated current.
Sound of motor and
blower
There should be no strange noises.
Check V-belt tension Re-tension if sagging.
Supply Bearing Grease With specified Grease.
Replace Gear Oil Replace all.
Check V-belt

2.Belt Tension Adjustment:

I. Pulley Alignment:





1. Loosen the motor side pulley fixing bolt, and using a metal scale or another similar tool, attach it to
both walls of motor pulley and the blower pulley, adjust to make both pulleys more parallel and
make them to the correct alignment.



II. Belt Tensioning:




1. Find out the center of , depress vertically with under listed tension forces W (measured by a
tension meter), you will find the flexibility (belt shifting in mm). If the measured valves are
according to following relationship, the belt tension will be good for operation.


= 0.016 x


Tension Force W (kg)

Belt Type A 3V 5V
Min. Value 1.0 1.5 3.5
Max. Value 3.0 3.0 5.0

2. Recheck the belt tension after 7 ~ 10 days of first operation. Owing to initial extension, the belts
should be re-tensioned after some period of operation time.


WARNI NG


Over tightening of belt tension leads to heavy bearing
loads and premature failure
