Test Run
once all ducting has been attached, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly.
if, during the test run you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review the
Troubleshooting on Page 24.
if you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
tech support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
To test run the machine:
1. refer to the Maintenance section on Page
21, and make sure that all filters are properly
positioned.
2. Make sure all tools and objects used dur-
ing setup are cleared away from the suction
intake, so the suction hood will not draw in
any objects when the machine is started.
3. plug in the machine and press the on button
(
Figure 10).
4. Let the machine run for at least 1 minute while
you evaluate the machine for the following:
— Listen for whistling sounds coming from
end covers or panels, which indicate a
poor seal or gasket. tighten screws and
replace foam seal as required.
—if a fan is not working, or you hear any
strange or unusual metallic noise or feel a
harmonic vibration, shut the machine
OFF
and correct the problem before operating
the machine again. Always disconnect the
machine from power when investigating or
correcting potential problems.
Suction Hood/
Ducting installation
Avoid having a suction hose run that is longer
than 20 feet or using alternating sizes of ducting
connections. Also using too many elbows or tees
will dramatically reduce the available CFM at the
welding or cutting location.
Before connecting to a welding downdraft table,
make sure that it is an approved welding down-
draft table that catches and arrests all sparks,
slag, and molten metal. this fume collector is
only designed to filter out welding dust, smoke,
and fumes from contaminated air. do not
use this machine to directly collect burning slag
or molten metal underneath cutting or welding
operations.
