THEORY OF OPERATION
This unit is a lightweight, portable air cleaner
employing two thermally protected, high performance,
flow through vacuum motors producing very high
velocity air flow through the unit. By utilizing a large (2
½") inlet plus a variety of collecting nozzles and
fittings, fine solid particulate material and smoke may
be removed from the air by the filter media.
An initial spark trap collects large particles before they
reach the filter. An easy to empty tray is attached to
the front cover to enable the removal of the large
particles collected by the spark trap without removing
the filter. This trap further isolates the filter from
sparks in the case of a welding operation.
A "clogged" filter light, actuated by a differential
pressure switch is an integral part of the unit. When
the filters become clogged, the light will illuminate. At
this point, the filter should be changed or cleaned.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIANS
SHOULD MAKE REPAIRS TO THIS UNIT.
DO NOT REPLACE THESE MOTORS WITH
MOTORS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED
BY THE MANUFACTURER
UNPACKING
Carefully inspect the unit for concealed damage that
may have occurred during shipping and handling. If
any damage is found, immediately contact the freight
company. Make sure that there are no dents in the
housing, as they might prevent the filter from sliding
into the unit smoothly. If there is no evidence of
damage, remove the end cover by releasing the two
rubber latches. Removal of the front cover will allow
inspection of the inside of the unit.
After unpacking the machine, check to see that the
following parts and accessories are present:
(1) 10' Flexible Hose
(1) Flexible Metal Hose/Magnetic Base
Component Parts. (See Figure 2 for Individual
Parts Included)
(1) Slot Nozzle
(1) Cartridge Filter
INSTALLATION
(See Figure 1)
1. Insert the filter, gasket first, into the unit. Then
place washer over the threaded rod and tighten
the wing-nut down so that the filter is sealed and
will not rotate.
2. Replace the front cover/spark trap assembly and
re-latch the cover using the rubber latches.
3. Connect the unit to the power source and test the
operation of the unit by turning it ON with the
On/Off switch. Should the motors not start, or
should the machine make unusual noises,
immediately turn the machine off and seek trained
maintenance personnel. Once the test is
complete, turn the unit back OFF.
4. Attach the hose to the inlet.
5. Assemble the flexible metal hose and nozzle per
Figure 2.
6. Connect the hose/nozzle combination assembled
in Step 5 above to the machine with the 10' flexible
hose and the supplied coupling.
This completes the basic assembly of your unit.
Depending upon the accessories ordered and the
logistics of the work place, the installation configuration
may vary.
