Rotary Positive Blowers
COMPETITOR PLUS rotar
y
blowers are desi
g

eable with e
q
uivalent sizes of Roots Universal
RAI®, and man
y
Sutorbilt® California Series B and F, and
Le
g
end™ Series L and P blowers. COMPETITOR PLUS
models are rated up to 15 PSIG dischar
g
e pressure or 16” H
g
dr
y
vacuum.
In addition to interchan
g
eabilit
y
, M-D has improved on
existin
g
desi
g
ns with the followin
g
superior features ordinaril
y
found onl
y
on premium blowers:
Helical Gearing
COMPETITOR PLUS blowers are timed with hardened,
precision helical
g
ears, ke
y
ed to the rotor shafts, not taper fit
spur
g
ears offered b
y
other manufacturers which have
g
reater
backlash, and can slip and lose timin
g
. Helical
g
ears are also
q
uieter, reducin
g
mechanical noise.
Stronger Bearings
COMPETITOR PLUS blowers include double row ball
bearin
g
s at the
g
ear end, stron
g
er than sin
g
le row ball
bearin
g
s offered b
y
other manufacturers. Drive shaft bearin
g
is c
y
lindrical roller t
y
pe for additional stren
g
th a
g
ainst side
loadin
g
from V-belt drives. As a result of this superior desi
g
n,
COMPETITOR PLUS blowers offer an avera
g
e desi
g
n
bearin
g
life of up to 50%
g
reater than models offered b
y
other
manufacturers.
Rotors with Integral Shafts
COMPETITOR PLUS blowers include precision machined
ductile iron rotors with lar
g
e, inte
g
rall
y
cast shafts, not press
fit and/or pinned shafts offered b
y
other manufacturers, which
can loosen over time and cause rotor clash. All rotors are
d
y
namicall
y
balanced for vibration-free rotation.
Positive End Clearances
End clearances are positivel
y
established at the blower
g
ear
end, eliminatin
g
the risk of shiftin
g
end clearances when
installin
g
or removin
g
drive components. This also eliminates
the need for those special fork and saddle tools re
q
uired b
y
other brands to reset end clearances.
Polished Sealing Surfaces
All shaft surfaces in contact with sealin
g
members are
polished to reduce seal wear and risk of leaka
g
e.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For equipment covered specifically or indirectly in this instruction book, it is important that all personnel observe
safety precautions to minimize the chances of injury. Among many considerations, the following should particularly be
noted:
• Blower casing and associated piping or accessories may become hot enough to cause major skin burns on
contact.
• Internal and external rotating parts of the blower and driving equipment can produce serious physical injuries.
Do not reach into any opening in the blower while it is operating, or while subject to accidental starting. Cover
external moving parts with adequate guards.
• Disconnect power before doing any work, and avoid bypassing or rendering inoperative any safety or protective
devices.
• If blower is operated with piping disconnected, place a strong, coarse screen over the inlet and avoid standing
in discharge air stream.
• Avoid extended exposure in close proximity to machinery with high intensity noise levels.
• Use proper care and good procedures in handling, lifting, installing, operating, and maintaining the equipment.
• Other potential hazards to safety may also be associated with operation of this equipment. All personnel
working in or passing through the area should be warned by signs and trained to exercise adequate general
safety precautions.
• Hearing protection may be required depending on silencing capabilities.
CAUTION!
Most COMPETITOR PLUS™blowers are
shipped from the factory in a left hand drive,
vertical flow configuration.
If drive shaft location is changed, the oil level
plug and breather must be relocated to proper
positions, as shown to the right.
Failure to change plug location will result in
blower failure and void the product warranty.
