Do not remove bottom dust pan before or during the blow-off
process! Let dust settle into dust pan. Unclip and dump out dust.
Filter removal is not required. You can also run your fingers
around the filter pleats to knock material down.

too close to filter, may damage filter media. Always wear safety

Fan / Blower & Cyclone Outside Placement
Fan / Blower has a TEFC - Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled motor.
Note: Use steel drum when placed outside.
Before Operation:
Check set screw and key in fan wheel, make sure fan wheel is secure. Fan blower should not vibrate. Fan wheel
is balanced to within .3 mils.
Mount system and connect cyclone and dust bin. Make sure dust bin is in place before turning on the dust
collector.
Do not operate Fan / Blower unless Cyclone and Dust Bin are in place! Motor will overheat!
Electrical Wiring:
Make sure power source matches wire voltage configurations on motor.
Prior to connecting to the power line, check motor plate for proper voltage and rotation connection. Wire for
counter-clockwise rotation. Fan wheel must rotate counter-clockwise if looking down on fan housing.
Note: If fan is wired incorrectly and fan is rotating backwards, poor suction and airflow will result. See Wire
Diagrams on motor plate.
Use 12 gauge cord for the 2hp fan / blowers.
Lubrication:
The motor is supplied with pre-lubricated ball bearings, lubricated for the life of the bearing.
Caution: Rotating Fan Blades! Keep objects clear of outlet.
