Preparation for Use
System is shipped complete on a pallet. Remove packaging material from around system, and remove any straps or ties
holding the system to the pallet.
If the vacuum is shipped with the optional Clayton CTK-1 (650-201): Lift the CTK-1 up from the vacuum base, and set it
down on the floor.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE CTK-1 OR THE VACUUM WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. Two persons are
required for lifting.
Lift the vacuum system off the pallet. Casters are already mounted, and filter bags are in place and ready for use.
The electric vacuum is designed to operate on the attached 50’ electrical cord. Do not connect the vacuum to an
extension cord – the added resistance will cause the vacuum to run hot, and performance will be dramatically decreased.
The pneumatic vacuum is designed to operate on a ¾” compressed airline. This size airline will supply enough
compressed air to power the vacuum and up to three pneumatic tools. The vacuum can operate from a ½” airline if no
pneumatic tools are connected. Pneumatic vacuums are shipped with a ¾” compressed air filter in a separate box.
Thread the compressed air filter into the air inlet on the vacuum. Failure to install filter may cause premature motor
failure.
Preparation for Storage
The Clayton DustMaster
TM
system requires no special preparation for short term storage.
When long term storage is required, Clayton recommends that the operator perform a Safe-Filter-Change
TM
to remove
any dust or residue from the system.
Any pneumatic tools stored with the system should be oiled and operated briefly prior to long-term storage.
Preparation for Shipping
Place the vacuum on a pallet. Support the vacuum on blocks of wood, so that the casters are not against the pallet.
Failure to block the vacuum can cause damage to the caster mounting studs. Strap the vacuum down firmly, ensuring
that it will not be jarred free in shipping.
Shrink wrap or box the pallet.
