Continue to lower the rotor until the oil seal ring
contacts the seal ring collar in the end plate;
then carefully work the oil seal ring into the
collar until the rotor contacts the end plate.
f.
Perform Steps "c" and "d" above on the left-
hand helix rotor.
g. Position the two rotors together so the lobes are
in mesh and the omitted serration in splines of
both shafts face toward the top of the end plate;
then, start the splined end of the shaft straight
into the left-hand shaft opening in the end plate.
Continue to lower the rotor in place as outlined
in Step "e".
2.
Determine the rotation of the blower being
assembled, then install the blower housing over the
rotors as follows:
a. Position the blower housing above the rotors
with its mounting flange facing toward the right-
hand helix rotor. Lower the housing over the
rotors until it contacts the dowel pins in the end
plate.
b. Align the dowel pin holes in the blower housing
