I. General Instructions
Important
Read and become familiar with this manual prior
to uncrating and installing or storing machinery
– it is a precision piece of equipment capable of
extended service and lifespan. Realization of
this potential can best be achieved through
proper handling and adherence to the following
instructions. Damage resulting from failure to
follow correct procedures will void warranty.
Spencer Service
Spencer service begins upon receipt of your request
for equipment purchase. Our engineers welcome the
opportunity to discuss your problems and will assist
in determining specification requirements if so
desired. To serve you promptly, we maintain a large
inventory of electric motors and machine parts. Also,
by combining under one roof the constantly
supervised manufacturing, assembly, and test
procedures, Spencer can assure you of a unit
capable of optimum performance under the most
severe service conditions. All Spencer machines are
factory tested for load capacities and vibrational
characteristics. This assures long, trouble-free
operations.
Warranty
We warrant that this product will be free from defects
in material and workmanship for a period of 18
months from date of shipment or 12 months from
date of startup, whichever comes first. Within the
warranty period, we shall repair or replace, F.O.B.
our Factory or designated service center, such
products that are determined by us to be defective.
This warranty will not apply to any product which
has been subjected to misuse, negligence, or
accident or, misapplied or improperly installed.
This warranty will not apply to any product which
has been disassembled, repaired or otherwise
altered by any persons not authorized by our
Service Department.
The guarantee of the motor, control, and component
manufacturers govern the extent of our guarantee on
such equipment. Warranty work on motors, controls,
and components must be authorized by Spencer and
must be performed in an authorized shop as
designated by the motor, control, and component
manufacturers. The Spencer Turbine Company
reserves the right to invoice all expenses incurred
when repairs are made in the field at the specific
request of the customer.
Handling
This machine has been carefully balanced and tested
at our factory. It is essential that it be handled with
care during installation in order that you may be
assured satisfactory performance.
Storage
Caution: If machine is to be stored for an
extended period of time, it must be carefully
protected from dampness, dirt and vibration. The
inlet and discharge should be covered to keep
foreign matter out; the motor shaft should be
periodically rotated a few times by hand. Failure
to comply with any of the preceeding will void
warranty.
Location
Caution: Do not locate unit in excessively hot
area (> 104 ˚F) unless equipment is designed for
this condition.
Before placing the machine in its operating position,
be sure that the blower and motor are readily
accessible for servicing by allowing several feet of
clear space around the machine. Inaccessibility
can prove costly in both time and labor.
Foundation
No special foundation is necessary for the Scroll
Blower. A level concrete floor or block is
recommended, although any other substantial floor
will prove satisfactory. The blower should be placed
on cork isolating pads furnished. The blower should
not be vertically, or “wall” mounted.
Tubing
All tubing should be of ample size to minimize
frictional loss. It is absolutely essential that all joints
be airtight and that there be no leaks in the system.
Leaky air pipes consume a surprising amount of
power and impair the operating efficiency of the
machine. Piping should be properly supported
without producing any stress or strain on the
machine casing. It is further recommended that
the rubber or isolation sleeve supplied with the
machine be used to connect it to the tubing
system.
