6.0 Dust Collector – Troubleshooting
This unit has two inlet ports for hose attachment. It is designed to have one of them
sealed off with the provided end cap while running with the blast unit. Failure to seal off
this additional hose connection port can result in improper operation of the dust collector
unit.
Note: Once the 6-54 Dust Collector has been in operation for several hours, a stable
operating level will result. Sudden changes in operation can usually be traced to a
malfunction.
