6.1

DUST REMOVAL

Turn off the dust collector and empty the dust storage drum/container as necessary to prevent dust from accumulating. Empty the dust storage drum or hopper when two- thirds full. If dust levels in storage containers are allowed to accumulate to a high level, dust may be drawn through the unit and discharged out the exhaust. If the hopper has a slide gate, close the gate before servicing the dust storage drum. The collector fan does not have to be shut off if this slide gate procedure is followed. Remember to open the slide gate when the dust storage drum is replaced. Do not allow the drum or hopper to overfill. This can cause poor Collector performance and require extensive cleanup if the dust overflows when the collecting device is removed. NOTE:

!!! CAUTION !!!

All electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any electrical component.

Periodically inspect the fan blades to ensure proper fan life. Clean the fan to remove any deposited material if required.

For motor maintenance, follow the manufacturer’s directions. If your motor requires servicing under the motor manufacturer’s warranty, contact an authorized service center. Motors are greased at the factory and do not need lubrication at time of installation. However, regreasing may be necessary after 1000 hours of use. As a guideline, grease the motor every 3,600 hours with high grade ball and roller bearing grease. Recommended greases are Shell Dolium R or Chevron SR1#2.
