Preliminary Start-Up Check
4. Check that the hopper discharge gate is open and the
storage container is properly sealed, if equipped
5. Check that the fan exhaust damper is set to the fully-
closed position.
6. Check and remove all loose items in or near the inlet and
outlet of the collector.
7. Check that all remote controls and solenoid enclosures (if
applicable) are properly wired and all service switches are
in the OFF position.
8. Check that all optional accessories are installed properly
and secured.
9. Turn power ON at source.
10. Turn the cleaning air blower ON.
11. Adjust fan airflow with the exhaust damper.
Excess airflow can shorten filter
life, cause electrical system failure
and fan motor failure.
12. Check arm rotation by observing from outside the collector
with main fan and positive displacement pump locked out.
1. Check all electrical connections for tightness and contact.
2. Check for proper rotation on all motors as described
below.
To reverse rotation, single-phase power supply:
Follow manufacturer’s instructions on the motor’s
nameplate.
To reverse rotation, three-phase power supply:
Switch any two leads on the motor junction box.
Do not look into fan outlet to
determine rotation. View the fan
rotation through the back of the motor.
Check that the exhaust plenum is free of tools or
debris before checking blower/fan rotation.
Stand clear of exhaust to avoid personal injury.
Do not interchange a power lead with the ground
wire. Severe personal injury and/or property
damage may result.
3. All access panels should be sealed and secure.
Instruct all personnel on safe use and maintenance
procedures.
Electrical work during installation,
service or maintenance must be
performed by a qualified electrician and comply
with all applicable national and local codes.
Turn power off and lock out electrical
power sources before performing service or
maintenance work.
Check that the collector is clear and free of all
debris before starting.
Do not install in classified hazardous
atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the
application.
