5. OPERATION
5.1 START-UP
Inspect the installation area and make certain no
tools, parts, etc. have been left anywhere on or
inside the unit. Check the fan discharge to make
certain it is free from all debris.
Start fan motor and check for proper rotation. A
rotation arrow is located on the fan housing. If the
fan is rotating in the opposite direction, disconnect
the power to the motor starter, interchange any two
wires on the output side of the starter (three-phase
systems only), engage starter disconnect, then start
fan and recheck rotation.
Before each start-up, verify that hopper slide gates
are closed. DUST-HOG High Efficiency Cyclone Dust
Collector drum lids with gasketing and drums must
be firmly in place and tight fitting. Ductwork slide
gates must be open. Check exhaust for any
obstruction.
To operate the cyclone dust collector, simply turn on
the blower.
NOTE: Running fan in incorrect rotation for an
extended period of time will cause fan motor
damage and reduce life of fan motor.
Adjust airflow with volume control damper(s) (not
supplied by UAS) on individual ductwork drops.
5.2 CHECK LIST
Always verify that any hopper slide gates are closed
and that the doors, drum lids and gaskets are in
place. The material being collected will not separate
from the airstream if any leakage occurs around the
base or drum. Failure to adhere to these instructions
may also cause the motor to overload. Verify that
exhaust air remains visibly clean. If an emission
develops, examine drums, drum lids, etc. for
possible leaks.
6. SERVICE
BEFORE SERVICING, NOTE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. Disconnect electrical power to the unit and
control panel.
2. Wear appropriate protective clothing when
servicing the dust collector.
3. Collected dust may be hazardous. Consult proper
authorities for handling and disposal.
4. Collected dust may be a potential fire hazard. DO
NOT perform grinding or operations involving open
flames unless fire protection measures are in
place. Refer to Section 1 for additional
precautions.
5. Disposal of collected dust must be according to
state and local environmental regulations.
6.1 DUST REMOVAL
Turn off the dust collector and empty the dust
storage drum/container as necessary to prevent dust
from accumulating. Empty the dust storage drum or
hopper when two-thirds full. If dust levels in storage
containers are allowed to accumulate to a high level,
dust may be drawn through the unit and discharged
out the exhaust.
NOTE: Do not allow the drum or hopper to overfill.
This can cause poor collector performance
and require extensive cleanup if the dust
overflows when the collecting device is
removed.
CAUTION
The blower compartment bolt-on panel must be
installed before operating the dust collector.
!
CAUTION
Shut off the unit. Disconnect and lockout all
electrical power to the dust collector prior
to performing service work.
