3. Receiving Checkups
Check if the products you have received are what have been ordered by referring to the order sheet,
drawings,invoices,etc.
(1) Check the nameplates on the blower and themotor, and confirm ifitmatches what have been
ordered.
(2) Countthenumberoftheproduct,andconfirmifitagreeswithwhat havebeenordered.
(3) Confirmthatthereisno breakageduring transportation.
4. Transportation and Handling
When transporting the blower, lift the casing and the motor together. Be careful not to give shocks to
anyparts ofthe blower.
5. Storage
Iftheblowerisstoredbeforeinstallation,becarefulas follows:
(1) Store the blower in a room where ventilated, not humid nor dusty. Otherwise the blower may
haveanytroubles.
(2) Beforeoperatingtheblowerwhichhadbeenstoredforlongperiodoftime,checkifthe bearing
andtheinsulationofthe motorhave noproblem.
(3) While the blower is stored, rotate the blower shaft several times by hand every month. If this
procedureisnotperformed,the lifeofthebearingmaybecome short.
(4) After stored for long period of time, carefully check if the blower has no abnormality before
operating.
6. Installation
The blower should be placed on a flat and rigid foundation with vibration isolator pads. If there are
gapsbetweenthepadandfoundation, fillthe gapswiththinsteelsheets(shimming).
Clearsomespacearound theblower for the maintenance.

7. Piping
Use rubber sleevesor flexible joints to connect to piping to avoidunnecessary force to the blower and
to isolate thevibration from the blower. If direct connection to piping is inevitable, do not give the force
to the blowerby dimensionaltolerances,weightofpiping,thermalexpansion ofpiping,etc.
8. Connection to Powerand Test run
(1) Turn the fanby hand to verify freerotationwithout rubbing ornoise.
(2) Check the nameplates of blowerand motor and confirm if they agree with the specification for
power supply,then connect to powerlineunderinstruction byelectrical engineer as per electric
technical standards andwiring regulation.
(3) Jog the blower and confirm the rotational direction is the same as the mark. If the rotational
direction is opposite, change the wiring connection. The direction can be reversed by
exchanging 2 wires of 3 wires. If the blower runs continuously with reverse rotational direction,
itcannotperformasspecifiedandmaylead toseriousaccident.
(4) Runtheblowerand measure the electriccurrent (average of each of3phase)of themotor.If it
exceeds the rated current, use at below the rated current by adjusting the air volume with
damper and so on. After running for a while, if there is no abnormal vibration or noise, test run
can be concluded. If any abnormality were found during test run, corrective action should be
takenby referring to “11. Troubleshooting”.
9. Precautions for Operation
Beforeoperating the blower,understand the following thoroughly.
(1) Continuoususe atsmallairvolumewillleadto blowerdurabilityproblem.
(2) The blower is designed to handle clean air. It cannot handle for air containing particulates and
dust, corrosive gases nor inflammable gases. Temperatures of air which standard model can
handle areintherangeof-15 to 50deg.C.
Pay attentiontofollowingprecautionincaseofthatheatresistantmodeloperate.
(3) Donotwrapthecoolingfan coverina heatinsulationmaterial.
Otherwise the life of the motor bearing may be shortened because the heat insulator material
prevents heatloss.
(4) After starting the blower, temperature of the gas should be raised slowly. Otherwise the blower
maybestrained byheatexpansion.
(5) When stopping the blower, keep running it until the temperature of the blower becomes nearly
room temperature. If the blower stops suddenly, the motor may be broken because the heat is
transmitted to it.

10. Maintenance
The followingmaintenanceisrecommendedto keepthebloweringoodcondition.
(1) Pay attentionto ventilation tokeeptheambienttemperature intherangeof-15 to40 deg. C.
(2) Pay attention to abnormal noise, abnormal vibration, abnormal temperature and air leakage. If
abnormalityis found,takeactionsreferringto “11.Troubleshooting”.
(3) Lubricate only that the motor has bearings requiring the lubrication. The life of the bearing is
about20,000 hours,but thelife willbedrastically shortened ifambienttemperatureistoo high.
(4) If the blower has air filter at the inlet, check the cleanlinessof the air filter periodically. Replace
or clean the filter if and when the air filter is not clean, as it causes pressure loss. The air filter
made by Muto can be washed by soaking into water or neutral detergents. (Wash it gently, do
not rub or do not squeeze it.) Lay the cleaner side up to dry. It can be cleaned for a few times
withthis method.

12. Instruction for Disassembly and Reassembly
Turn thepower offbefore disassembly andreassembly.
Following is instructive to disassemble and/or to reassemble the blower as referring “13. Structural
drawing”. (It is very difficult to explain all of details of the work perfectly in writing and by sketches.
Therefore it is recommended to understand and record that the parts put together or direction while
disassembled.)
12-1. Disassembly
(1) Removeend head ②.
(2) Remove fan stopperbolt ④andfanstoppercollar ③,and removefan ⑤frommotor ①.
(3) Remove packingplate ⑥,andremovepacking ⑦.
(4) Remove motor ①. At that time, if there are the liners (shims) under motor ①, their original
location shouldbe recorded forreassembly.
