GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Introduction
This instruction manual covers the IK-545B long retractable sootblower supplied by
Diamond Power Specialty Limited; the main features are illustrated in Fig.1.
1.1 General
The IK-545B is a fully-retractable sootblower incorporating a travelling carriage and
dual rack-and-pinion drive. Power is transmitted, through an expanding cable
arrangement, from a fixed power connection on the beam to an electric motor on
the carriage. The motor moves the carriage to project a cleaning nozzle into the
boiler. Blowing medium flow is controlled by an integral poppet valve, which is
mechanically operated by the carriage.
1.2 Operating Controls
The IK-545B sootblower is normally operated from a remote control panel or from
an individual starter box. Alternative controls are available to suit specific
applications. Upon completion of the cleaning cycle, the controls automatically
reset ready for the next cycle. No further action is required by the operator unless
a fault develops. A manual override allows the sootblower to be retracted at any
point in its forward travel.
Additional information on the operating controls is given in Section 2.
1.3 Application
The IK-545B is designed for cleaning the heating surfaces of the boilers fired with
ash-producing fuels, and is used principally to remove slag and ash deposits from
slag screens, superheaters, reheaters, and economisers. It is also used to clean
deposits from the underside of furnace arches.
The Model IK-525B is supplied for travels over 7.6m (25ft) and up to 13.7m (45ft)
1.4 Cleaning Principle (Fig.2)
The basic function of the sootblower is to clean the heating surfaces of the boiler
by the impact energy of high-pressure air, or steam, which is delivered from two
opposing nozzle openings located at the end of a translating and rotating lance
tube.
The lance tube advances on a 100 mm (4 in.) helix; therefore, the opposing nozzle
openings provide cleaning at 50 mm (2 in.) intervals.
SECTION 2
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
General
The IK-545B sootblower comprises a number of sub-assembly components. This
Section describes the function of these components and their relationship to each
other. A comprehensive breakdown of the components is given in Section10
('Parts Identification').
2.1 ELECTRICAL
2.1.1 Electrical Components (Fig.3)
Electrical components on the sootblower comprise a drive motor, forward and reset
limit switches and terminal box containing start and reverse pushbuttons. The
wiring between the drive motor, limit switches and terminal box is part of Diamond
Power supply. The interconnecting wiring from the sootblower to the electric
control panel is not part of Diamond Power supply. To complete the electrical link
up between the sootblower and the control panel a typical or customised
interconnecting schematic diagram is normally supplied by Diamond Power for this
purpose.
2.1.2 Function
When the drive motor is energised from the control panel or local start push-button
it drives the carriage forward. As the carriage approaches the limit of its forward
travel, a limit switch trip arrangement on the carriage, makes contact with the
forward limit switch. This action reverses the drive motor
FIG.3
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS - SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
As the carriage approaches its fully retracted position, the limit switch trip
arrangement again makes contact, this time with the reset limit switch. This action
stops the drive motor. The sootblower can also be retracted at any point during
forward travel by pressing the local retract push-button.

SECTION 2
2.2 MOUNTING
The arrangement of the support rollers is shown above. The roller bracket
assemblies are positioned so that the axis of rotation of each roller is at right
angles to the helical contact path of the lance tube.
23
SECTION 2
FIG.5 WALLBOX
The wallbox assembly consists of a fabricated steel housing which incorporates a
seal plate and seal arrg't. The seal plate and seal arrg't are seated against the
cover plate and housing by means of cap screws located through nuts welded to
the cover plate.
2.2.4 Pressure Regulating Valve (Fig.5D)
A pressure regulating valve is provided at the sealing air entry to the wallbox. The
valve must be connected to the sealing air line and adjusted to maintain adequate
sealing air within the wallbox.
24
SECTION 2
Each side plate incorporates an elongated hole to assist positioning and to allow for
boiler expansion in the horizontal plane.The supporting steelwork is not supplied by
Diamond Power, but design information is given on the Installation drawing.
25
SECTION 2
2.2.6 Auxiliary Support (Fig.7)
The IK545B sootblower is fitted with an auxiliary support near the mid-point of the
beam. This arrangement supports the lance tube during the first half of forward
travel, and when the sootblower is in the rest position. It also supports the feed
tube during the last half of forward travel. The auxiliary support is mounted on a
channel bolted to both sides of the beam. The assembly incorporates a roller
bracket arrg’t similar to that of the front support and a feed tube support
arrangement which is linked to the roller bracket by a trigger and lever
arrangement.
An actuator arrg’t, mounted on the carriage, trips the trigger arrg’t when the
carriage reaches mid-point and the roller bracket arrg’t is lowered by the linkage.
The feed tube support arrg’t swings up to support the feed tube during the
remainder of the forward travel. On the return travel, the linkage operates in
reverse, leaving the roller bracket arrg’t supporting the lance tube.
2.3 MECHANICAL
2.3.1 Carriage (Fig.8)
The carriage drives the lance tube into and out of the boiler and also rotates the
lance tube as it travels. The assembly consists of a drive motor, a gearbox, and a
lance hub which contains the packing to confine the blowing medium in the lance
tube and feed tube.
The primary spur gears are externally mounted for changing the travel speeds of
the carriage, when required. The output shaft from the second of the primary spur
gears engages a worm gear in the main gearbox for the major gear reduction. The
worm gear output shaft, in turn, operates spur gears for translation and bevel gears
for rotation of the lance tube.
SEPTEMBER 2000 FORM 15280
26
SECTION 2
As the sootblower carriage travels forward, the coils of the expanda cable start to
come off, one at a time, from the loop control arrangement fixed to the tow bar
arrangement.
27
SECTION 2
Each poppet valve is fitted with an air relief valve which allows scavenging air to
be drawn into the poppet valve between blowing cycles, thus preventing corrosive
gases from the furnace being drawn into the poppet valve, feed tube, and lance
tube.
28
SECTION 2
The valve trigger pivots on a lug which forms part of the valve body and depresses
the valve stem, thus opening the valve and admitting blowing medium to the feed
tube.
29
SECTION 2
FIG.12
AIR RELIEF VALVE
In either case, the action of the air relief valve prevents the blowing medium from
escaping from the sootblower into the sealing air line, or to atmosphere, when the
sootblower is operating.
At the front end, the feed tube is telescoped into the lance tube and is sealed by
the packing in the lance hub. After renewing or adjusting the feed tube packing,
care should be taken not to overtighten the gland nuts. The maximum torque
applied should not exceed 10 Nm (7 lbs.ft). The feed tube is made of highly-
polished stainless steel to provide a leak-free sealing surface for the packing.
30
SECTION 2
31
SECTION 2
The limit switches are actuated by a limit switch trip arrangement mounted on the
sootblower carriage.
32
SECTION 2
The tool is secured by engaging the motor mounting with the flange on the
carriage. Turning the square tang clockwise results in the carriage travelling
forwards and the lance tube going into the boiler. Conversely, turning the square
tang anti-clockwise results in the carriage returning towards the normal fully-
retracted position.
NOTE : Blowing medium pressure should be ‘ON’ when the sootblower is operated
manually to cool the lance tube until it is retracted.
33
SECTION 3
SECTION 3
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General
Installation drawings are supplied with each set of sootblowers. These drawings
show the location of the sootblowers in the installation, the blowing medium
pressure, overall dimensions, method of mounting, extent of Diamond Power
equipment supplied, and connections to be made.
3.1 Location
Each sootblower is identified on the appropriate installation drawing by a serial
number; this number is marked on the sootblower nameplate. Care must be taken
to ensure that each sootblower is installed in its correct location, by referring to the
relevant drawing.
3.2 Mounting
The sootblower is mounted on the boiler at two points, front and rear. At the front
mounting point, the wallbox is welded on-site to a boiler wall sleeve, normally
provided by the customer, and, at the rear, by a rear support on the sootblower
which is site-welded to the installation supporting steelwork. For condensate
drainage, reference should be made to the relevent installation drawings for full
mounting details.
34
SECTION 3
3.6 Lubrication
Reference should be made to the Lubrication Chart in Section 7.
35
SECTION 4
SECTION 4
COMMISSIONING
General
Commissioning should be carried out in three stages: (1) Inspection; (2) Functional
Checks; and (3) Pre-Operational Checks, as briefly described in the following
paragraphs. Reference should be made to the Job Sheets in Section 12 for more
detailed instructions, and to the commissioning check list (Job Sheet No.3) for a
summary and further references .
36
SECTION 4
The blowing pressure is controlled by raising or lowering the pressure control disc,
thus increasing or decreasing the gap between the valve seat and the disc. The gap
is set at approximately 2.5mm (0.1in.) on assembly. Adjustment is made by
withdrawing the lock pin and rotating the pressure control disc. The pressure
control disc must be locked in position after adjustment, by replacing the lock pin.
The end of the lock pin must engage one of the deep grooves in the pressure
control disc; each groove represents approximately 0.2mm (0.008in.) vertical
movement of the pressure control disc.
The sootblower should be operated through several complete cycles, with the
blowing medium on, to check that it is functioning correctly before finally putting it
into service.
37
SECTION 5
SECTION 5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General
The sootblower can be operated from a remote panel or from push-buttons
mounted on an individual starter box. Once started, it automatically completes its
operating cycle and returns to the rest position ready for a further cycle.
Provision is made,also, for manual operation (Section 6).
38
SECTION 6
SECTION 6
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
General
Maintenance instructions in this Section are grouped under the following headings
for convenience: Operational Checks; Periodic Inspection; Annual Maintenance; and
Major Overhaul. A maintenance schedule for each group is provided in Section 8,
and Job Sheets, detailing the action to be taken, are provided in Section l2.
Lubricants, which should be kept readily available for maintenance purposes, are
listed in Section 7.
39
SECTION 6
NOTE: The blowing medium supply should be 'ON' when the sootblower is
operated manually to cool the lance tube until it is retracted.
40
SECTION 7
SECTION 7
LUBRICATION
General
Prior to shipping, IK500 Series gearboxes are run with a protective oil and then
drained. For prolonged storage, the gearbox should be filled with a similar
protective oil, such as Esso Rustban 335. This must be drained and thoroughly
cleaned out before use. It is the responsibility of the maintenance Inspector to
ensure that this is done before operating the equipment.
To maintain the efficiency of the Sootblower, it is essential that periodic checks are
carried out at the lubrication points listed in this Section.
7.1 Initial Operation
When IK500 Series Sootblowers are operated initially, it is essential that the
lubrication procedures given in the following paragraphs are strictly adhered to.
7.2 Carriage Assembly
7.2.1 Gearbox
In compliance with transportation requirements, IK500 Series Sootblowers are
shipped with dry gearboxes. Before operating the equipment, the following must be
observed,
The carriage gearbox must be filled to the level indicated on the sight gauge on the
carriage with the lubricant specified in the Lubrication Chart. The vent filler plug is
located on top of the carriage and is accessible by removing the cover plate on the
top of the beam. The capacity of the gearbox is 7.33 litres.
The gearbox should be drained and refilled as specified in the lubrication chart. All
external moving components of the carriage which contain sealed bearings do not
require lubrication.
7.3 Lance Hub
The lance hub is lubricated during the initial fill of the gearbox via the vent filler
plug

SECTION 8
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
General
Sootblower controls are normally arranged to protect the plant and the sootblower
from damage in the event of a fault developing, by rendering the sootblower
inoperative until the fault is rectified.
The Maintenance Schedule, in the following paragraphs, is designed to minimise
loss of use of the sootblower by forming the basis of a system of preventive
maintenance which identifies parts of the sootblower requiring attention before
they deteriorate to such an extent as to render the sootblower inoperative.
Action to be taken in the event of a fault developing is given against each item,
either directly, or by reference to a Job Sheet in Section 12.
2. Check that the sootblower operates through its full cycle - failure to do so may
be due to either a mechanical fault in the sootblower itself, or an external fault,
such as inadequate blowing medium supply.

RECOMMENDED SPARES LIST
1. Running Maintenance
Quantities shown in column 1 should be regarded as a minimum initial stock level
until actual usage is established through operating experience.
2. Incurred Maintenance
Diamond sootblowers are designed to operate for long periods with the minimum of
maintenance and spares usage; component parts do not normally require replacement
unless a breakdown occurs due to accident or misuse. It is recommended, however,
that a stock of the items listed be maintained to minimise downtime should a
breakdown occur, recommended quantities are shown in column 2.
3. Major Overhaul
When the boiler is off-load for a major overhaul, sootblowers should be inspected for
wear or damage as indicated in Section 8, and parts replaced as necessary. Items
which are normally replaced at this stage are indicated by a quantity in column 3.
The items listed in this Section should be adequate for normal use but the
quantities stocked may have to be adjusted to take account of severe usage or
delays in obtaining replacements .
The assembly headings indicate where the items listed are used. Since headings
and items appear in the same order as shown in the Parts Identification Section of
the Instruction Manual, part numbers of related items can be readily identified.
The quantities recommended have been calculated per ten sootblowers. These
quantities may require to be adjusted to correspond with the actual number of
sootblowers in use.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Introduction
This instruction manual covers the operation and maintenance of the IK-lM
sootblower(s) supplied by Diamond Power Specialty Limited; the main features are
illustrated in Fig. 1 opposite.
Where the manual is supplied for a specific contract, details of the equipment
covered are shown on the Equipment Identification Form at the front of the
manual. In addition, the Parts Identification (Section 10) is customised to reflect
the parts actually fitted.
1.1 General (Fig’s.1 & 2)
The IK-lM is a one-metre travel sootblower incorporating a travelling motor drive
which, through reduction gearing and a leadscrew, drives a carriage along a
supporting guide tube. A lance tube, attached to the carriage, propels an element
across the boiler. Blowing medium, controlled by an integral poppet valve, is fed to
the element via a feed tube to provide cleaning jets. The complete mechanism is
supported and protected by a rigid beam. The arrangement of the main
components of the sootblower is shown in the illustration below.
174
SECTION 1
1.2 Operating Controls Cont’d)
Where the controls are supplied by Diamond Power, the electrical instruction
manual gives more specific details. Once started, the lK-lM goes through its
cleaning cycle automatically. Limit switches control the extent of travel and are
automatically reset at the end of the cleaning cycle.
The IK-lM can also be operated manually in the event of power failure and for
maintenance purposes.
1.3 Application
The IK-lM is designed to clean the back-end section of coal and oil-fired boilers and
other industrial units.
1.4 Cleaning Principle (Fig.3)
The IK-1M functions by blasting the surfaces to be cleaned with jets of high-
pressure air or steam. Nozzles are positioned in a travelling element which
traverses the area to be cleaned and then returns to the reset position ready for the
next cleaning cycle. The element is permanently situated inside the boiler and is
designed, on a per-contract basis, to give maximum cleaning effect.
175
SECTION 2
SECTION 2
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
General
The IK1M-TE sootblower comprises a number of sub-assembly components. This
Section describes the function of these components and their relationship to each
other. A comprehensive breakdown of the components is given in Section10
('Parts Identification').
2.1 ELECTRICAL
2.1.1 Electrical Components (Fig.4)
Electrical components on the sootblower comprise a drive motor, forward and reset
limit switches and terminal box containing start and reverse push-buttons.
The wiring between the drive motor, limit switches and terminal box is part of
Diamond Power supply. The interconnecting wiring from the sootblower to the
electric control panel is not part of Diamond Power supply. To complete the
electrical link up between the sootblower and the control panel a typical or
customised interconnecting schematic diagram is normally supplied by Diamond
Power for this purpose.
2.1.2 Function
When the drive motor is energised (from the control panel) or local start push-
button it drives the carriage forward. As the carriage approaches the limit of its
forward travel, a trip bracket on the guide assembly fitted to the carriage, makes
contact with the forward limit switch. This action reverses the drive motor
FIG.4
REFER TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS – SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
As the carriage approaches its fully retracted position, the trip bracket again makes
contact, this time with the reset limit switch. This action stops the drive motor.
The sootblower can also be retracted at any point during forward travel by pressing
the local retract push-button.

SECTION 2
2.2 MOUNTING
The mounting flange is supplied as part of the sootblower assembly and is bolted
to the sootblower front bulkhead via a wallbox arrangement.
178
SECTION 2
2.2.3.1 Scavenging Air (Fig.5A)
Boiler gases are prevented from escaping to atmosphere by pressurising the
wallbox. A hand-operated gate valve is provided at the sealing air entry to the
wallbox. The valve is connected to the sealing air line and adjusted to maintain
adequate sealing air within the wallbox. A connection on the sealing air line runs
to the air relief valve to provide a scavenging function.
Screwed rods located within the support bar are assembled onto the structural
steelwork to allow for vertical adjustment as required. The side plates incorporate
an elongated hole to assist positioning and to allow for boiler expansion in the
horizontal plane. The side plates also incorporate a circular hole for use during the
handling process. The supporting steelwork is not supplied by Diamond Power, but
design information is given on the Installation drawing.
179
SECTION 2
2.3 MECHANICAL
The drive nut traverses a stationary leadscrew as it rotates and thus propels the
carriage. Direction and extent of travel are controlled by limit switches, as
described in paragraph 2.5. The lance hub forms part of the carriage assembly. The
lance tube is flange-mounted to the hub and travels with it.
Where the element has to be rotated as it travels, a chain and sprocket drive
arrangement is used to rotate the lance hub.
Where the element is of the non-rotating type, the hub drive arrangement is
omitted.
180
SECTION 2
When the locking pin is removed, the leadscrew can be rotated to drive the
carriage manually. A square tang is provided on the end of the leadscrew for
attaching a ratchet wrench. Collars, pinned to the leadscrew prevent axial
movement of the leadscrew during forward and reverse travel.
181
SECTION 2
The feed tube is made of stainless steel, hence no maintenance is required. The
end of the feed tube is sealed against the gasket in the poppet valve outlet by a
clamping plate which also secures the valve to the rear bulkhead.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General
Installation drawings are supplied with each set of sootblowers; these drawings
generally show the location of the sootblowers, overall dimensions, method of
mounting, extent of Diamond Power supply, and connections to be made.
Reference should be made to the Job Sheets (Section 12) for step-by-step
installation instructions.
3.1 Location
Each sootblower is identified on the appropriate installation drawing by a serial
number; this number is marked on the sootblower nameplate. Care must be taken
to ensure that each sootblower is installed in its correct location, by referring to
the relevant drawing.
3.2 Mounting
The IK-lM is supplied complete with a mounting flange which must be welded on-
site to a sleeve in the boiler wall. It must also be supported at the rear via the
lifting lugs. Reference should be made to the relevant installation drawings for full
mounting details.
3.3 Lifting the Sootblower
When lifting the sootblower into position, the lifting lugs on the beam should be
used (Section 14).
NOTE: Do not use a sling around the beam or the protruding lance tube, as this
may cause damage and subsequent malfunctioning.
3.4 Blowing Medium Supply Pipework
The IK-lM is normally supplied complete with a companion flange prepared for
welding on-site to the blowing medium supply pipework. The pipework is not
normally supplied by Diamond Power but must conform to any specification laid
down in the contract paperwork. The basic requirements are that it must be
designed and installed to avoid straining the sootblower and have a drainage slope
of at least 1 in 25 downwards from the companion flange.
The supply pipework must be blown out to remove all scale, weld bead, etc., upon
completion of installation work. A sheet metal deflector must be inserted between
the sootblower poppet valve inlet and the companion flange before this operation
to ensure that debris does not reach the valve seat.
3.5 Lubrication
Reference should be made to the Lubrication Chart in Section 7.
3.6 Electrical
Power and control connections must be made to the terminal box. Reference
should be made to the electrical control details in Section 2 for the connections
required.
187
SECTION 4
SECTION 4
COMMISSIONING
General
Commissioning should be carried out in three stages: (1) Inspection; (2) Functional
Checks; and (3) Pre-Operational Checks as briefly described in the following
paragraphs. Reference should be made to the Job Sheets at the back of this
manual for more detailed instructions, and to the commissioning check list for a
summary and further references.
188
SECTION 4
The blowing pressure is controlled by raising or lowering the pressure control disc,
thus increasing or decreasing the gap between the valve seat and the disc; the gap
is set at approximately 2.5 mm (0.1in) on assembly. Adjustment is made by
disconnecting the air relief valve and removing the lock pin coupling, and then
rotating the pressure control disc. The pressure control disc must be locked in
position after adjustment by replacing the lock pin coupling. The lock pin should
engage one of the deep grooves in the pressure control disc; each groove
represents approximately 0.2 mm (0.08 in) vertical movement of the pressure
control disc.
The sootblower should be operated through several complete cycles, with steam
on, to check that it is functioning correctly before finally putting it into service.
189
SECTION 5
SECTION 5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General
The IK1M Sootblower can be operated from a remote panel or from push-buttons
mounted on the sootblower terminal box or an individual starter box. Once started,
the sootblower automatically completes its operating cycle and returns to the rest
position ready for a further cycle.
Provision is made, also, for manual operation (Section 6.)
On larger boilers, these precautions are not normally necessary, as the amount of
cleaning medium blown in is usually small compared to the amount of gases
passing through.
190
SECTION 6
SECTION 6
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
General
Maintenance instructions in this Section are grouped under the following headings
for convenience: Operational Checks; Periodic Inspection; Annual Maintenance; and
Major Overhaul. A maintenance schedule for each group is provided in Section 8,
and Job Sheets, detailing the action to be taken, are provided in Section 12.
Lubricants, which should be kept readily available for maintenance purposes, are
listed in Section 7.
6.1 Operational Checks
Checks should be made when the sootblower is operating to detect malfunctioning
or blowing medium leakage. With the exception of blowing medium leakage, these
checks are normally made by the operator.
6.2 Periodic Inspection
The sootblower should be inspected periodically to ensure that :-
(a) All mechanisms are functioning correctly.
(b) All moving parts are adequately lubricated.
(c) Blowing medium is not leaking.
(d) Feed tube surface is in good condition.
(e) Lance tube/Element/Rake Arrg't surfaces are in good condition.
(f) Blowing pressure is correct.
The frequency of inspection will depend on operating conditions, but should be at
least once per month.
6.3 Annual Maintenance
The IK1M Sootblower should be inspected annually for deterioration of all critical
parts; these should be renewed, where necessary. Packing and lubricants should be
renewed and mechanisms checked and adjusted, where necessary.
NOTE: Components on the carriage assembly which are sealed for life, should only
be re-lubricated if dismantling has taken place. This does not apply to bearings and
similar parts, which should be discarded and renewed.
Critical parts include the following:-
(a) Poppet Valve, including Air Relief Valve.
(b) Feed Tube.
(c) Lance Tube, Element or Rake Arrg't.
(d) Front Support Rollers.
(e) Limit Switches.
(f) Drive Nut.
(g) Guide Nuts
191
SECTION 6
192
SECTION 7
SECTION 7
LUBRICATION
General
To maintain the efficiency of the IK-1M Sootblower, it is essential that periodic
checks are carried out at the lubrication points listed in this Section.
7.1 Carriage
The worm set cavity of the carriage, is factory-lubricated and sealed for life. When
the carriage requires dismantling, the lubricant should be renewed as follows :-
Carriage:- Worm Set Cavity – 385 – 400g (13.6 - 14.fl.oz.) of Tivela GL 00 or
Rocol “Sapphire Extreme”.
Moving components of the Carriage run in sealed bearings and therefore do not
require lubrication.
7.3 Leadscrew
The ends, only, of the leadscrew should be lubricated annually to prevent
corrosion. On no account should the surfaces on which the drive nut and guide
assembly travel be lubricated; these components do not require lubrication and may
be harmed by grit or ash adhering to any lubricant applied.
7.4 General Lubrication
The general lubrication points are illustrated below.
Bolt Heads and Threads: ------------------Molykote Thred-Gard, or any other
suitable anti-seize Compound.
193
SECTION 7
194
SECTION 8
SECTION 8
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
General
Sootblower controls are normally arranged to protect the plant and the sootblower
from damage in the event of a fault developing, by rendering the sootblower
inoperative until the fault is rectified.
The Maintenance Schedule, in the following paragraphs, is designed to minimise
loss of use of the sootblower by forming the basis of a system of preventive
maintenance which identifies parts of the sootblower requiring attention before
they deteriorate to such an extent as to render the sootblower inoperative.
Action to be taken in the event of a fault developing is given against each item,
either directly, or by reference to a Job Sheet.

NOTES
1. Assemble adjusting rod and rod ends with equal thread engagement at each end.
For reference the nominal engagement will be 23mm.
2. Adjustment at final assembly is achieved by loosening the locking nut and rotating
the adjusting rod. Re-tighten the locking nut when adjustment is correct.
3. Apply Molykote Gn+ to threads and head of screws and torque to 41Nm (30 lb.ft)
4. Apply Molykote Gn+ to threads and faces of poppet valve nuts and torque to
75Nm (55 lb.ft). For each nut, bend up only ONE tab of the locking washer.
5. When poppet valve is correctly aligned with the feed tube, drill Ø5 through the
bulkhead (via existing Ø5 holes in mounting plate) and fit Ø5 roll pins.
NOTE: It is possible that misalignment / distortion of the rear bulkhead will cause
the lance to lose contact with the front rollers when the poppet valve mounting is
tightened. If this is the case then adjust the four M10 grub screws to compensate.
8. Install Oilite Bearing flush with inside surface of Poppet Valve Mounting.
9. Install Oilite Bearing flush with small diameter face of Bearing Retainer.
10. The Trigger Assembly should be fitted by inserting the non-lever end
through the larger hole in the Poppet Valve Mounting Bracket as shown. Then fit a
washer (detail 3) before inserting the lever end into the Oilite Bearing within the
smaller hole of the Poppet Valve Mounting Bracket. Finally fit the bearing retainer
c/w Oilite Bearing.
11. When the valve is fully open ensure there is a minimum gap of 0.25mm between
the valve spring coils.

RECOMMENDED SPARES LIST
1. Running Maintenance
Quantities shown in column 1 should be regarded as a minimum initial stock level
until actual usage is established through operating experience.
2. Incurred Maintenance
Diamond sootblowers are designed to operate for long periods with the minimum of
maintenance and spares usage; component parts do not normally require replacement
unless a breakdown occurs due to accident or misuse. It is recommended, however,
that a stock of the items listed be maintained to minimise downtime should a
breakdown occur, recommended quantities are shown in column 2.
3. Major Overhaul
When the boiler is off-load for a major overhaul, sootblowers should be inspected for
wear or damage as indicated in Section 8, and parts replaced as necessary. Items
which are normally replaced at this stage are indicated by a quantity in column 3.
The items listed in this Section should be adequate for normal use but the
quantities stocked may have to be adjusted to take account of severe usage or
delays in obtaining replacements .
The assembly headings indicate where the items listed are used. Since headings
and items appear in the same order as shown in the Parts Identification Section of
the Instruction Manual, part numbers of related items can be readily identified.
The quantities recommended have been calculated per ten sootblowers. These
quantities may require to be adjusted to correspond with the actual number of
sootblowers in use.

NOTE
The tools and equipment required for lapping are as follows:-
1. One disc is serrated, for rough lapping, and the other disc is
plain, for finishing and burnishing. The surfaces of both discs
must must be kept lapped flat; a lapping machine, or surface
plate , can be used to maintain the disc surfaces.
4. Inspection Equipment:-
Blue block - for checking flatness.
An unused lapping disc, which is absolutely flat, can also be
used.
Prussian blue - to determine high and low markings.
6. Finish lap for two-five minute cycles, checking the valve seat
surfaces at the end of each cycle.
11. Cover the surface of a blue block with a very thin uniform
coating of Prussian blue.
13. Applying finger pressure only, move the blue block back and
forth slightly.
15. Inspect the lapped seat. If the dye transfer is uniform, the seat
is satisfactory; if not uniform, then the seat is not flat and the
complete lapping procedure must be repeated.
16. After the lapping procedure is completed, clean the valve body
with white spirit, using a small bristle brush.
