below is a list of things to keep in mind when
selecting a spot for the air filter:
•
study your shop layout and try to determine
the best location for the hanging air filter.
Air flow that is obstructed will cause a short
cycle effect, producing unsatisfactory results.
there must be a clearance of at least 3 ft.
from any obstructions in front and back of the
unit.
•
try to place the air filter in front of high dust
producers like sanders or near areas where
sanding will take place.
•
do not place the hanging air filter where
garage doors may pass closely or where it
may impede transport or movement of any
other object.
•
try to place the unit where it is easy to access
for turning it on, cleaning and maintenance.
Figure 7
shows an example of poor air circulation,
where the air filter is placed too close to obstruc-
tions. in this situation, the velocity of the air is lost
and circulation is diminished.

poor air circulation. placed too close to
the wall, the air circulation short cycles, leaving
much of the room unfiltered.

Filter
It is very important that the hanging air filter
be supported properly.
please follow these
guidelines when planning where to mount the
unit:
•
Where the mounting brackets attach is the
top of the unit. the hanging air filter can only
be secured by the machine hooks on its top.
•
make sure that an electrical outlet with a
properly grounded receptacle is available at
the location you choose.
•
the hanging air filter must be supported by
wood joists. these joists should be capable
of supporting at least 100 lbs each. do not
attach the hanging air filter to only sheet rock,
press board or paneling. these materials
cannot support the filter, and it may fall.
•
Avoid hitting your head on the hanging air
filter. make sure there is enough clearance
between the unit and the ground, especially
important in a basement. if possible, position
the air filter in an area that has little foot traffic
but still offers easy access to the switch and
filters.
