ARM ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. The swivel base assembly and base support arm
(items 1 & 2) and the intake hood support arm
and intake hood (items 3 & 4) come assembled
ready to attach to the unit.
(See diagram on next
page.)
2. Mount the swivel base assembly to top of air
cleaner, placing the plastic gasket between the
base and cabinet. Secure with the bolts and
washers provided.
3. If required, slide the hose up the arm and tighten
the 3 joints A, B and C, as well as the side screw
on the intake hood. Test the arm to make sure it
will stay in place when extended.
4. Slide the hose into place and clamp at the top
section of the base and at the hood.
The tension on the arm joints may have to be
adjusted periodically to maintain the
pressure on the friction washers and allow
the arm to be extended properly.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The collecting cell, ionizer, prefilter and after filter
must be cleaned on a regular basis for the unit to
function at its peak efficiency. The frequency of
cleaning will vary from one environment to another.
For instance, in a welding shop you may be required
to wash the cell every 3 days to 2 weeks depending
on the work load of the unit.
Every environment will be different. Inspect the unit
frequently until you determine the right washing
schedule for your particular application.
If your unit is equipped with an
activated carbon
filter
it will need to be refilled, depending on the
environment, every 3 - 6 months. Do not wash the
carbon filter as this will render it useless.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn both the high voltage and system switches
OFF
and wait 15 seconds for high voltage to
dissipate.
2. Open the cell access door and remove the
collecting cell, ionizer, prefilter and after filter.
3. If the cell plates are heavily coated it may be
necessary to spray the cells with hot water to
remove the excess contaminate before applying
detergent. Allow excess water to drain off the cell
before applying detergent.
4. Place the cell and ionizer in a tub and spray
completely with
DAX Detergent
, allowing
detergent to run down both sides of the plates
and ionizing fins. Let sit for 5 minutes.
5. Rinse the cell well with hot water (140ºF / 60ºC
maximum).
6. If dirt remains on plates, let the cell soak in hot
soapy water for 30 minutes, then repeat the
washing instructions listed above.
Never use
any instrument to clean the cell, as this may
damage the ionizing wires or cell plates.
7. An alternate method to clean the cell and ionizer
is to soak them in a tub of Dax for 10-15 minutes.
The Dax can be reused numerous times as long
as the cell is kept from sitting in the sludge which
CAUTION
The cell plates are sharp. Handle with care. Take
care not to damage the cell by hitting the cell
plates. The cell plate spacing is critical for proper
operation of the unit.
CAUTION
Avoid washing the cell or ionizer with a high
pressure cleaner as this may cause damage to
the cell plates or fins.
