SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your PORTA - H O G ® air cleaner. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
• The air cleaner must be properly grounded.
• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Replace all access panels before operating.
• Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when handling
collection components or servicing the air cleaner.
• Electrical connections should only be made by qualified
personnel, and be in accordance with local and national
codes and regulations.
• Avoid mixing combustible materials, such as aluminum,
p a p e r, wood or other organic dusts with dusts generated
from grinding metals. A fire hazard could develop from
sparks entering the dust collector.
• Consult national and local fire codes, waste disposal,
safety and other appropriate authorities and comply with
their recommendations for the proper installation and
operation of dust collection equipment.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
• Use nonflammable cleaners.
• Do not collect emissions which are explosive.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from air cleaner.
• The unit should be inspected frequently and dirt removed
to prevent excessive accumulation which may result in
flash-over or fire damage.
• When collecting emissions from spark-producing process-
es, care must be taken to reduce any potential fire haz-
ards. System design should include methods to prevent
sparks from entering the dust collector. Dust collectors do
not contain fire extinguishing equipment.
• Operate only in a safe and serviceable condition.
