Installation
The workstation for each operator should be designed so that the operator's movements in
performing the job are natural and easy. A sideways sweeping motion with the Whizard
Quantum
®
Air Trimmer is preferable to a reaching motion. Long reaching motions and high
muscle strain should be avoided if possible. Also, a proper working height is needed to avoid
excessive shoulder and back exertion.
Air Supply
A clean, dry, lubricated air supply is critical to proper operation. The filter, regulator and
lubricator (FRL) unit, furnished with your complete Bettcher Quantum
®
Air , should be
mounted horizontally at the air supply outlet and in such a position as to be easily reached for
draining the filter bowl and refilling the lubricator. The filter bowl should be drained, and the
lubricator refilled, daily.
IMPORTANT
:
Be sure the air supply is a constant 90 pounds per square inch (6.2 bar) and the
volume is a minimum of 14 cubic feet per minute (396 liters per minute) per unit.
Supply Line
:
•
Use a 2 inch to 6 inch (5 cm to 15 cm) pipe for the air supply.
•
All air outlet drops should be connected to the top of the main air supply line to
minimize the possibility of moisture and dirt reaching the motor.
•
Drops should be at least:
•
¾ inch (2 cm) pipe for one (1) tool.
•
1 inch (2.54 cm) pipe for two (2) tools.
•
1 ¼ inch (3.18 cm) pipe for three (3) tools.
•
A FRL should be used for each tool. Do not run multiple tools off of a single
FRL.
•
All air outlets should be located close enough to the operator’s work station so that
additional hose is not required.
