SHOP PLACEMENT / SPACE CONSIDERATIONS
Because each shop situation is unique, the following factors should be taken into consideration when determining
and before deciding on the ideal installation to best suit your shop dust collection needs.
The unit should be installed as close to the dust source(s) as possible.
The base of the unit is mounted on casters and as such the dust collector can be moved from one location to
another within the shop if a permanent installation location is not practical or desired.
In all cases the unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy and stable surface that is able to support the weight of the
unit (370 LBS - 168 kg) as well as the weight of the operator. The casters should be blocked to prevent the unit from
moving when it is in use.
LAYING OUT A PLAN FOR THE PIPING:
For permanent installations it is advisable to map out a rough layout of your planned installation starting from the
dust collector out to all the machines that you wish to connect to the system. You may vary your layout to suit your
specific shop needs and may choose to use metal or plastic ducting, or flexible hose in any combination as suited
to your needs.
Hoses and ducting running along the shop floor between machinery can cause users to trip and lead
to serious injury.
The dust collector is equipped
with a 9” main hose inlet that is
fitted with a multi-inlet manifold
allowing you to connect up to
four 4” dust hoses. (See Fig. 3)
Consider the space requirements for the unit and its use when deciding where to install
your dust collector in your shop. (See Fig. 1, 2)

Don’t keep hoses and ducting along the

Keep hoses and ducting safely mounted,
either along the walls or ceiling
Note: To avoid accidents as well
as damage to ducting or hoses,
plan your installation with hoses
and ducting running along walls or
mounted from above wherever pos-
sible. See the accompanying exam-
ples (Fig. 4, 5) of non-recommended
and recommended installations.
