over-exert yourself.

7
PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Make sure the cord is plugged into a
properly installed and grounded power
outlet. To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
Make sure that the air cleaner is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it
must be attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.
Figure-3 120-Volts Outlet for CX407N
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX407N. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
If you really find it necessary to use an
extension cord, make sure the extension
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor
damage.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.

MOUNTING
The CX407N can be mounted in three
ways:
TABLE TOP MOUNT: Using rubber feet
and/or the flush mount flange brackets for a
table-top application.
HANGING MOUNT: Using the eye bolts for
a high ceiling application.
FLUSH MOUNT: Using the flange brackets
for a wall or low ceiling application.
TABLE TOP MOUNT
The CX407N can be used as a portable air
filtration system by installing the rubber feet
and placing the unit on a work-bench or a
table.
To set up the air cleaner for table top
operation:
Get the help of an assistant and carefully
place the air cleaner unit upside down.
The rubber feet feature sticky backing.
Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the
air cleaner as shown in figure-4.
For permanent table top mounting, refer to
the Flush Mount procedure on page-9 and
install the unit on the table top with the flush
mount flange brackets.

of the air cleaner unit
HANGING MOUNT
The CX407N can be hung from the ceiling,
operating at an optimum height from the
floor.
To install the CX407N, hung from the
ceiling:
Install four chains, cable or steel strapping
lines to the ceiling from the support or joist
capable of holding 105 lbs.
Remove the plug screws and retain these
screws as you will need to reinstall them to
seal back the air filter unit when eye bolts
are removed.
Figure-5 Removing the plug screws
WARNING!
Make sure the air cleaner is OFF and the
cord is disconnected from the power
source while installing, removing,
servicing and performing any
maintenance job.

The minimum recommended expansion
eye bolt size is 5/16” – 18” x 2”.
Drill 12mm pilot holes into the concrete
structure and press the expansion eye
bolt into hole and tighten the bolt until it
is securely held to the ceiling.
FLUSH MOUNT
When the shop is small, the CX407N air
cleaner can be installed flush to the ceiling
of the shop or to the table top using flange
mounts.
Mount the air cleaner ONLY to load bearing
supports, wall studs, steel chain or table
that can hold 150 lbs of load.
To install the air cleaner:
Locate the supports in the wall or ceiling
and mark the air cleaner unit bolt pattern on
the wall or ceiling (17-1/4” from left to right
and 31” from front to rear)
Drill the holes to accept at least 1/4" shank
bolts for studs or use 1/4” nuts, bolts and
washers for mounting.
WARNING!
Do not fasten the air cleaner onto sheet
rock or dry wall, drop ceiling tile or frame.
Do not use a rope or power cord to hang
the air cleaner. Do not locate the unit in a
corner or near any heating or cooling
vents. Do not use chain rated for a less
minimum of 150 lbs working load for
each support. Do not use fasteners that
can tear out and make the air cleaner
fall.
