each lobe, making twelve measurements in all. See
Fig. 17 for the minimum clearances.
After the blower rotors, are timed, complete the
assembly of the blower as outlined below.
2. Refer to Fig. 7 and attach the blower rotor drive hub
(20) and drive hub plates (115) to the blower gears as
follows:
a. If removed, attach the rotor drive hub plates
(115) to the drive hub (20) with three bolts (22),
lock washers and plain washers. Tighten the
bolts to 25-30 lb-ft (34-41 Nm) torque.
b. Attach the rotor drive hub and drive plates to the
right-hand helix rotor timing gear with three bolts
(21), lock washers, plain washers and three
spacers (116) between the plates and the face
of the gear. Tighten the bolts to 25-30 lb-ft (34-
41 Nm) torque.
c. Check the runout of the splines in the rotor drive
hub with an indicator. The spline runout must
