3.0 OPERATION
WARNING
All persons operating this equipment must be
made aware of the hazards of abrasive blasting,
and the handling of toxic materials, including
lead and silica dust. Toxicity and health risk
vary with the type of media and dust generated
by blasting. Identify all material being removed
by blasting, and obtain a Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) for the blast media.
3.1
The dust collector access doors and cover
plates must be closed, and the dump-out valves open,
when the dust collector is in operation.
3.2 Initial
Start-up
WARNING
Do not look into the exhauster outlet while the
fan is turning. Injury to the eye or face could
result from objects being ejected from the
exhauster.
3.2.1
Check motor rotation by jogging the starter
(momentarily turn switch ON and OFF). Doing so will
cause the motor to rotate slowly. Look through the slots
in the fan housing on the end of the motor where rotation
of the fan can easily be observed. Proper rotation is
indicated by the arrow on the exhauster housing. The
fan should rotate toward the scroll.
NOTICE
Do not pulse new dust collectors or
replacement cartridges until the cartridges are
seasoned per Section 6.2. Pulsing unseasoned
cartridges could cause premature cartridge
failure or decrease the efficiency of dust
collector.
3.2.2
With the sequence switch OFF, pressurize the
pulse manifold to 100 psi and check pneumatic
connections for leaks.
3.2.3
Turn pulse pressure to 20 psi and switch the
pulse sequence ON. Check the air pulse and sequence
of the diaphragm pulse valves, solenoids, and panel
timer. After all items are checked, turn the sequence
switch OFF.
Do not turn the sequence switch ON
until the cartridges are seasoned per Section 6.2.
