LUBRICATION
• Every Tuthill blower is factory tested, oil drained, and shipped dry. The oil reservoir must be
filled to the proper level before operation.
• Each T650 and T950H is supplied with sufficient Tuthill PneuLube™ ISO 32 synthetic oil.
• Before filling the blower, refer to Figure 1. The lubrication capacities shown are for reference
only and are based on filling from dry condition. A sight glass should be used to determine oil
level.
• Always follow the Filling Procedure outlined below.
• Never mix oil types or grades in your Tuthill Truck Blower. This could cause gear and bearing
failure.
FILLING PROCEDURE
1. Remove fill plugs.
2. SLOWLY pour oil through fill until oil appears up to the center of the oil sight glass.
3. Verify oil level is at proper level in sight glasses.
4. Replace fill plugs.
CAUTION: Check sight glass to ensure that oil levels are correct before starting.
WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE OIL WHILE THE BLOWER IS IN OPERATION. Oil level must be checked
while the blower is not running and on a level surface.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
A newly installed blower should be checked frequently during the first month of operation, especially lubrication. Check oil level and
add oil as needed. Complete oil changes are recommended every 500 operating hours, or more frequently depending on the type
of oil and oil operating temperatures. The following is recommended as a minimum maintenance program. An oil analysis program
is recommended.
DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY SEMI-ANNUALLY
1. Check and maintain
oil level, and add oil
as necessary.
2. Check air filter
restriction indicator
1. Clean air filter. Clogged air filters can
seriously affect the efficiency of the blower
and cause overheating and oil usage.
2. Check relief valve to assure it is operating
properly.
1. Inspect the entire
system for leaks.
2. Inspect condition
of oil and change if
necessary.
1. Inspect the drive line
bearings.
2. Change oil even if 500
operating hours has not
been reached.
KIT COMPONENTS
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
• The relief valve must be sized for the correct air flow and pressure rating. Install the valve as close to the blower as possible
and before the check valve.
• Ensure that pipe sealant is used on the threads to seal against air leakage.
AIR FILTER
• The filter should be selected to suit the air flow requirement of the application.
• Always fit an air filter restriction indicator set at 22” H2O (55 mBar).
CAUTION: An undersized air filter will cause the blower to operate at higher temperatures. This can cause blower
to overheat, causing damage.
