General International 10-950, Setup & Operation Manual

Page: 9 / 18

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
The unit should be installed as close to the dust source(s) as possible. The base of the unit is mounted on casters and
as such the dust collector can be moved from one location to another within the shop if a permanent installation
location is not practical or desired. In all cases the unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy and stable surface that
is able to support the weight of the unit and its contents, as well as the weight of the operator. The casters should be
blocked to prevent the unit from moving when it is in use.
