Remove driveshaft key (Item 41). 5. Remove shaft blank cap (Item 35). 6. Remove front and rear oil tanks, held by M10 socket head capscrews. It may be necessary to tap oil tanks with a soft mallet to break the sealant (do not use a pry bar). 7. Note the orientation before removing breather tubes. (Items V & W). 8. Heat lip seal wear sleeves using a burner and quickly remove before the shaft heats up (Item 21). 9. Remove spacer ring. 10.Flatten locknut tabs then loosen oil slinger locknut and remove oil slinger assembly. 11. Remove both drive end bearing retaining plates (Item 33). 12.

Remove gear clamping bushes and discard (Item 31). 15. Using a plastic mallet lightly tap all around the gear until it loosens (Item 28). Item 13 Item 14 16. Carefully slide both gears off the shafts. Taper locks (item 30) will come out with gears. 17. Attach two pullers to the gear endplate with each center rod pushing each rotor center. (Use a puller with a rotating rod end) 18. Alternating from one puller to the next slowly push the rotors forward, this will also push the drive end sideplate (Item 3) off the housing. Continue pushing until both rotors are loose from the double row bearings. Item 15 19. Remove the gear end sideplate (item 2). Item 17 20. Remove oil deflector plate (Item 25). 21.Remove both drive end bearing retaining plates (Item 33) 22. Remove both gear end bearing retaining plates (Item 33). Item 18 23. Remove the bearings from both housings (Items 14 and 15). 24. Remove the circlip (Item16) holding the Labyrinth seals (Item 10). 5 Disassembly Continued 25. Remove the breathers (Item 39) from both sideplates (if they are to be replaced). Do not re-use clogged breathers. 26. Using a burner quickly heat the inner front bearing races then remove them from the rotors. ! Cleaning and Inspection of Parts Before reassembling the blower any parts that are to be reused should be cleaned thoroughly. Ensure all threads are clean, if needed run tap through threads. Clean threads will ensure correct bolt toque. Parts need to be free from rust, Loctite residue and burrs 6 Assembly 1. Install dowel pins to rotor housing (Item 47). 2. Install spring pins in both sideplates (Item 13). 3. Apply o ring grease (Parker O-lube or similar to labyrinth o ring (Item 10). Item 1 4. Install labyrinth seals (Item 10) into both sideplates using punch tool, be sure to align the hole in the Labyrinth seal with the pin in the sideplate. Item 1 5. Install labyrinth seal circlips into both sideplates (Item 16). Item 5 6. Install inner lip oil seals, flat side down (item 11) into both sideplates using punch tool. Apply o ring grease (Parker O-lube or similar) to the lips only. Item 3 7. Install the breathers (Item 39) into both sideplates. 8. Heat up bearing inner races using a heater plate to 212 deg F (Item 14). Item 6 Item 6 9. Fit the inner races to the rotor shafts and seat them using the punch tool (tool 564-005). 10. Lightly lube outer roller bearings (Item 14) then install into drive end sideplate (Item 3) cage side facing outwards. Item 9 11. Fit bearing retainer plates (Item 33) to drive end sideplate (Item 3). Use Loctite 242 on capscrews (Item 44). Torque per chart. Item 11 7 Item 10 Assembly 12. Using Loctite 192010 on body face fit drive end sideplate (Item 3) to rotor housing, line up the marks from when they parts were disassembled. Use Loctite 242 on M10 capscrews, torque per chart. 13. Carefully slide each rotor through housing, be sure not to damage lip seals or labyrinth seals during this process. To aid this process position the sideplate and body facing down on wood blocks. 14. Fit gear end sideplate (Item 2) to rotor housing, line up the marks from when the parts were disassembled. Item 13 15. Using punch tool (564-005) to seat both ball bearings (Item 15) into gear end sideplate. (Item 2). Note the bearing number “3308” must face outwards. Item 14 16. Seat the inner races by fitting lock collar tool (564-007) over rotor shaft, tighten each capscrew to recommended torque. Place a block of wood between the rotors to stop them rotating while tightening the capscrews. Repeat this for both rotors. Item 15 17. Remove the lock collar. 18. Fit Bearing locking collars(Item 33), use Loctite 242 on capscrews. 19. Fit bottom gear oil deflector (Item 25). Item 18 8 Assembly 20. Carefully fit gears to shafts. The gear with the helix pointing to the left installs to the bottom rotor (Item 27, closest to the sight glass and with oil deflector ring). Install four locking rings (Item 30), shown in drawing (marked Z) per gear and the locking collar (Item 31), hand tighten the six M10 capscrews. Item 20 21. Tighten the three M10 capscrews on the bottom gear per torque chart using a small amount of Locktite 242 on the threads. 22. Proceed to setting the Timing. 23. Install spacer ring (Item 18) on the shaft of the bottom rotor. 24. Pre-install oil slinger (Item 24) on the hub (item 22) with four capscrews (Item 44). 25. Install the taper locking sleeve (Item 20) onto the shaft of the lower rotor, push the oil slinger assembly onto the adaptor sleeve and secure using lock nut and locking tab washer (Item 20). Ensure the assembly is pushed fully against the spacer ring. Align slinger per the drawing, torque nut (Item 20) to recommended setting using locknut tool (564-010). 26. Install spacer bushing (item 17) onto top shaft. 27. Heat up wear sleeves to 212 deg Fahrenheit then use bearing punch tool (564-005) to seat sleeves. 28.

Check clearances at positions 1,2,3 and 4. if even proceed to Item 7 otherwise repeat Items 3 through 6 until all clearances are equal. 7. One at a time remove and replace (with Locktite 242 on the threads) the three M10 capscrews, each capscrew should be torqued per the chart below. 8. Recheck the clearances at Positions 1, 2, 3, 4 shown below values should be 0.0127”-0.019” and even. 11 Setting the Timing and Checking Clearances 9. Check rotor to gear end sideplate clearance shown in drawing as GS value should be 0.0035” - 0.011”. 10. Check rotor to drive end sideplate clearance shown in drawing as GS value should be 0.0010” - 0.021” 11. Check radial clearances around the body to the rotor values should be 0.0078” - 0.011” 12 Setting the Timing and Checking Clearances Blower Clearances Min Max Interlobe 0.0127” 0.019” Gear End 0.035” 0.011” Drive End 0.010” 0.021” Radial 0.0078” 0.011” Torque Settings Item Size Torque (in-lbs) Torque (ft-lbs) Torque (N-m) 20 M45 x 1.5 619 51.5 70 43 M10 515 43 58 44 M6 106 8.8 12 45 M8 247 20 28 42 M10 706 58.6 79.5 13 A B C D E F G H I J K L 16 14 16 35 (1x) (2x) 46 (1x) 50 15 15 4 (16x) 43 (1x) 14 (1x) 50 14 37 (1x) 50 13 (1x) 44 (5x) 13 33 (1x) 44 (2x) (1x) 52 (1x) 12 (1x) 40 53 (1x) 49 12 47 (2x) 10 39 11 (16x) 43 (1x) 38 (5x) 44 (1x) (1x) 33 10 (4x) 16 (2x) 191 13 (2x) (1x) 190 In diesem Bereich Maschinennummer einschlagen Serial No. to be engraved in this area 11 9 (1x) 3 9 39 (1x) +5 (1x) 12 +100 8 (1x) 12 C (1x) 38 8 21 21 (1x) 17 (1x) (1x) +5 1 44 7 C +5 (4x) 11 44 (1x) 10 (5x) (1x) 22 20 (1x) (1x) 18 (1x) 2 6 13 (1x) 14 (1x) 6 (2x) 50 44 47 15 28 11 (1x) nur Innenring inner ring only +5 (1x) 10 C (1x) (1x) 41 (1x) (1x) 6 (1x) 37 (1x) 10 (1x) 50 6 5 4 (1x) 11 3 42 (1x) 15 (3x) R Produkt-Code Product code CBU Typ IRB1400 Type *** Name Name 08.04.
