system, it is important that the units are
turned on in the beginning of the shift and left on until the end of the shift. The reason the units need to remain on is
because Air Cleaners train the air current throughout the entire area in order to ensure that all of the air is cycling
through the filters. The process of training the air can take a while, but is usually about 30 minutes.
Maintenance
Follow these precautions when performing maintenance on the motor or blower.
Turn off motor, and LOCK OUT electrical service to the unit.
LOCK OUT even when changing filters.
Change filters regularly to maintain optimum performance. If the performance of your air cleaners appears to be
declining, try replacing the filters.
Be sure that replacement filters are always rated for the correct CFM and air flow.
NOTE FOR INSTALLING BAG FILTERS:
When installing fiberglass bag filters, MAKE SURE THAT NO FABRIC IS PINCHED BETWEEN THE HEADER
AND FILTER FRAME.
Performance will decrease dramatically if bag filters are not properly installed. To ensure no
fabric is pinched, place your fingers inside each cell, and gently move each bag cell side to side, freeing any fabric
sandwiched between the header and filter frame.
If the system requires maintenance exceeding filter change, read below

connect power supply, & switch the necessary wires
around to reverse the motors rotation with the voltage
you are using.
2. The bag filter may not be seated
properly
2. Reach in each pocket to make sure fabric is not be-
tween filter stop and filter frame.
