This series of portable ventilation blowers has been designed for industrial heavy duty

applications in confined space ventilation. These blowers are the primary tool for providing

fresh clean ventilation air to remote work locations. Each work environment should be

thoroughly evaluated by a competent person before selecting the proper blower for a par-

ticularapplication.

GENERAL SETUP & OPERATION, ELECTRIC BLOWER SERIES

MODELS SVB-E8, SVB-E8-2, & SVB-E8EC

STEP1)

Place blower in a clean fresh air environment. Set blower a minimum of 5 ft. from the

manhole opening. Note: Inspect blower for damaged or worn parts. Inspect all ducting

and couplings for possible air leaks prior to blower operation.

Note: Air quality of the confined space should be tested prior to ventilation. If air

qualityof the confined space is unacceptable, consult a trained professional.

STEP2)

Installductcuff toexhaustflangeand tightencinchstrap. Keepbends andkinksinducting toa

minimumtomaximizeairflow.

STEP3)

Connectto120VAC, 15 amp, 60Hz dedicated service. All standard electric blowers listed are

suppliedwithGFI plug (GroundFaultInterrupters)perthe 1996NECcoderequirement: Section

305-6.

Note: If an extension cord is required, the minimum recommended size is 12 AWG

(Maximum 100 ft.). For further information, refer to the National Electric Code Tables,

Article 400. (The use of generators are not recommended unless they are of sufficient

output capacity. Some generator’s output current will not allow the use of GFI plugs. A

standard 3-prong plug would need to be installed instead of the GFI recepticle).

STEP 4) Push “on/off” (reset) switch, located on the GFI unit, to the “on” position. The

unitisnowoperational.

SHUTDOWN

• Insurethatallworkers are removedfromthe confinedspacesite.

• Shutoff blowerandremoveallducting.

MAINTENANCE

• Keep blower motor dry and free from contaminants and dust.

• Check periodically to ensure moving parts are free from obstructions.

GENERAL SETUP & OPERATION, EXPLOSION-PROOF ELECTRIC BLOWER

MODEL SVB-E8EXP

STEP1)

Place blower in a clean fresh air environment. Set blower a minimum of 5 ft. from the

manhole opening. Note: Inspect blower for damaged or worn parts. Inspect all ducting

and couplings for possible air leaks prior to blower operation.

CAUTION:

Air quality of the confined space should be tested prior to ventilation. If air quality of the

confined space is unacceptable, consult a trained professional.

STEP 2)

Install duct cuff to exhaust flange and tighten cinch strap. Keep bends and kinks in ducting

to a minimum to maximize air flow. THE USE OF CONDUCTIVE DUCTING IS REC-

OMMENDED WHEN OPERATING IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRON-

MENTS.

STEP3)

ClassII,Div. I, Groups E,F,Gspecifications. Theplugshould not be disconnectedorconnectedin an explosive environ-

mentwhen theblowerisenergized.

STEP 4) Switch the explosion-proof “on/off” switch to the “on” position. The unit is now operational.

SHUTDOWN

• Insure that all workers are removed from the confined space site.

• Shut off blower and remove all ducting.

MAINTENANCE

• Keep blower motor dry and free from contaminants and dust.

• Check periodically to ensure moving parts are free from obstructions.

CAUTION:

SHUTDOWN

• Insurethatall workers areremovedfromthe confined spacesite.

• Shut off blower and remove all ducting.

MAINTENANCE

• Keep blower motor dry and free from contaminants and dust.

• Check periodically to ensure moving parts are free from obstructions.

•Change filter (Part# WL040B) located in regulator after approximately 300 - 500 hours

• UseSAE#10 automotiveengineoilor lighterinlubricatorat alltimes. (Donotexceed 10weightoil). Heavy

weightoils willcausedamage totheairmotor.

• Cleanmufflerassembly every100-300hourswith safetysolvent(Part#BAC-1001).

• Flushairmotor every100hourswith safetysolvent(#BAC-1001)through maintenanceport(seebelow).

• Remove air exhaust filter before flushing and reinstall after several minutes of running unit. Flush unit

after every 200 hours or after storing for long periods.

AIR MOTOR FLUSHING PROCEDURE

Use Air Systems’ Part #BAC-1001 safety solvent.

Do not use a flammable solvent or a solvent with a toxicity rating of 500ppm or

greater to flush the unit.

Note: Eye protection should be worn when flushing the unit.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Blower will not start Insufficient pressure Check pressure gauge on compressed air source to

ensure proper supply pressure. Turn regulator knob

clockwise to increase air pressure to air motor and

note the gauge pressure on the regulator.

Excessive vibration Possible internal damage Turn blower off and inspect fan blades, shaft, and

housing for debris, damage, and loose screws.

Note: Never run blower for extended periods without

installing duct on the exhaust flange.

Possible external damage Turn blower off and inspect housing

Blower loses pressure Insufficient air flow or

pressure Hose with a minimum 1/2" diameter is required at 10-

100cfm delivery volume

Remove muffler housing and unscrew internal air

muffler. Clean with safety solvent and reinstall.

Motor icing (interior) Excessive water in airline Install moisture separator filter before blower (order
