START-UP CHECKLIST
Electrical connection
Follow all steps before first start-up and when the dust collector is not been
used for a long period.
For daily use follow steps 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8.
1. Check that the outlet of the fan is free of debris before starting.
2. Make sure the dust disposal system is properly installed under the hopper.
3. Turn on the hopper disposal system (where so equipped and on a separate
control). The direction of rotation must be checked. The system must always be
operating when the dust collector is operating.
Too much airflow can cause electrical failure of the fan motor or dramatically
reduce the life of the filter cartridges.
4. Check if the damper valve is 50% closed.
5. Check if the covers are closed.
6. Switch main power on.
7. Check the airflow with a pitot tube and a micro-manometer in the ductwork and
adjust the damper valve to the desired airflow.
8. Turn on the compressed air supply. Adjust to 6.5 bar of pressure with the
compressed air regulator.
Do not increase compressed air pressure beyond 7 bar as component
damage may result.
The cleaning cycle only starts when necessary. For customized settings see the
controls manual.
