9. Rotate filter up to level position and reinstall the two

filter mounting knobs. Securely tighten knobs by
hand.

10. Replace dust drawer in SC1700 and SC3400 units.

11. Close the filter housing door and latch.

The dust collector is now ready for start-up. Re-energize
electrical power to dust collector to resume operation.

NOTE:

The cartridge filter must be securely tightened to

ensure compression of the filter gasket. Dust
leakage (bypass) can occur if the filter gasket is
not properly sealed.

6.2 CARTRIDGE FILTER SEEDING

PROCEDURE

Because a small amount of particulate will initially pass
through the cartridge filter, remove any afterfilter prior to
seeding the filter. To begin seeding, turn the cleaning
system “OFF,” then turn the unit “ON.” Introduce the
seeding material by slowly and gently shaking the
material into an inlet opening where it can be drawn into
the unit. The seed material should be drawn in as a
continual “cloud,” trying to avoid any dust “slugs.”
Continue to feed the seeding material until the reading
on the filter monitor gauge increases by approximately
1" w.g. (25 mmG). Before starting the unit, replace any
after filter removed prior to seeding.

6.3 DUST REMOVAL

Periodically inspect the dust drawer, drum or pail. Empty
when two-thirds full. To empty, turn off the dust collector
and allow filter cleaning system to operate. After air
pulses, allow adequate time for dust to settle before
emptying the dust drawer, drum or pail. If the unit has an
optional slide gate assembly, close the slide gate before
emptying the dust drum. The dust collector fan does not
have to be shut off if this slide gate procedure is
followed. Remember to open the slide gate when the
dust storage drum is replaced.

NOTE:

Do not allow the dust drawer, drum or pail to

overfill. This can cause poor collector
performance and require extensive clean-up if
the dust overflows when the collecting device is
removed.

6.4 SERVICING THE DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR

AND BLOWER WHEEL

Periodically inspect the blower blades to ensure proper
fan life. Grease motor every 3,600 hours with high grade
ball and roller bearing grease. Recommended grease is
Chevron SRI#2.

Periodically inspect the blower wheel coupling mounting
bolt for tightness. Retighten as necessary to ensure fan
wheel does not loosen and come in contact with the inlet

bell. Clearance between fan wheel and inlet bell should
be kept at flush + _0.25" (6mm).

6.5 SERVICING OPTIONAL EXHAUST AIR

SAFETY FILTERS AND HEPA
AFTERFILTERS

Periodically check the pressure drop across the exhaust
air safety filters. Replace exhaust air safety filters when
the differential pressure exceeds 2" w.g. (51 mmG). For
HEPA afterfilters, replace when the differential pressure
exceeds 3" w.g. (76 mmG).

7. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

7.1 HOPPER ASSEMBLY

The hopper assemblies are shipped separately from the
Super-Conic

unit. In order to attach the hopper to the

dust collector, use the hardware provided with the unit
(refer to Figure 9). Follow all cautions and instructions
listed below. For dimensions of SC600, SC1700 or
SC3400 hopper assemblies, refer to Figure 11, 12 or 13.

Use adequate safety measures when lifting and
assembling any heavy components. Consult safety
personnel for recommendations and lift unit in
accordance with all codes, laws and directives.

The hydraulic lift truck should be operated by a

qualified and licensed operator. The lift truck must be
rated for the dust collector weight as specified in the
Super-Conic

Specification Table.

Before you begin, remove all crating, strapping and hold-
down bolts. Locate all hardware bags, silicone sealant
and other assembly material provided with the unit.

The following instructions outline the assembly procedure
for mating the dust dust collector cabinet to the hopper
assembly using a hydraulic lift truck.

1. Lift hopper/leg assembly and place in predetermined

locations. Hopper/leg assembly should be level.

2. Shim legs as required. Secure leg assemblies to

concrete mounting pad with 1/2" (13mm) diameter
anchor bolts. Anchor bolts are not supplied as part of
the dust collector hopper assembly. Make certain
anchors meet building codes and all applicable
directives.

3. Remove filters and mounting knobs from the dust

collector cabinet and place in a protected area to
prevent loss or damage to components.
