START-UP
Unpacking
The Elliott Soot Buster is shipped in a carton complete with all accessories listed. On arrival,
check for external damage to the box. If damage is found, notify the carrier and the supplier so
insurance inspectors can examine the box before it is unpacked. When opened, check the
contents against the packing and parts list. Report any damage or shortage to Elliott.
Ensure that there is no packaging material left inside the openings of the machine, especially
in the air inlets.
It is important that the system is assembled in the following sequence. Please refer to Quick
Reference Diagram on page 5.
Connecting
1. Check and make sure that air supply is shut-off. Connect air hose (1) to an air supply.
2. With one end of the 33 foot air hose (1) into the air supply, insert the other end into the air
inlet side of the filter lubricator (2). If necessary, fill the lubricator with clean SAE Oil.
3. Insert one end of the 16.5 foot air hose (3) into the socket on the stopcock side of the filter
lubricator (2) and the other into the socket on the foot valve (4). Insert the 33’ heavy-duty
hose (5) socket onto the foot valve male connection and slide the optional Y-Tube (6) down
the hose as shown on the opposite page.
4. Set the filter lubricator (2) shut off cock to the “Off” position, (the T-handle across the line of
flow). Set the foot valve (4) to the “Off“ position, (the foot pedal in the horizontal position).
Switch on the air supply and check the system pressure on the filter lubricator (2) gauge,
adjust if necessary. Open the shut off cock on the filter lubricator (2) and set the foot valve
(4) to the “On” position. Allow a burst of air to flow through the system to purge the line.
5. Screw the air pulsator (7) onto the swivel end of the heavy-duty hose (5) and tighten down.
6. Holding the hose (5) about two feet from the air pulsator, allow the air pulsator and hose to
hang down, but keep above the ground. Switch the Soot Buster on and check that the
lubricator is delivering oil at one to two drops per second. Adjust if necessary and switch
the Soot Buster off.
7. Proceed to operation, page 6.
Disconnecting
Shut down the air supply at source and set the foot valve (4) and filter lubricator (2) shut off
cock to the “On” position to release any pressure trapped in the system. System components
may now be disconnected in any order, cleaned and stowed.
