• 3) impaired vision, 4) or eye/nose/mouth irritation.
1.3 Fume Extraction Hazards

4
• Do not use or install equipment where any potential for combustible fumes or dusts are present, until a qualified
person has indicated it is safe to do so.
• Never use or install equipment where the potential for combustible fumes or dusts are present without a
fire/explosion protection system.
• If you are unsure if the product you purchased is correct for your application, call DiversiTech at 1-800-361-3733.
1.4 Dust Collection Hazards
• This machine is equipped with safety stickers to remind operators of the inherent dangers during use and
maintenance.
• The stickers are only reminders, and all safety precautions contained in this manual must be well understood and
adhered to by all users.
• See Appendix 5: Sample Safety Stickers for example of stickers applied to machine.
1.5 Safety Stickers
!
• This machine can emit sound pressure levels in excess of 70dB(A).
• Appropriate ear protection is required when the machine is running.
• Sound levels are highest directly in front of the machine.
• The machine must be turned OFF when performing any maintenance on the machine.
• Extended exposure to sound pressure levels greater than 85dB(A) can cause permanent injury
to the ears.
• Users should be conscious of the danger and refrain from placing the ear near the silencer
outlet.

3.1 To Setup or Install Safely
!
• Do not place unit near flammables or combustible surface.
• Refer to SECTION 2: Specifications, to know the electrical requirements of the unit you are
installing and ensure adequate input power that is properly sized, rated, and protected.
• This unit must be grounded for safe operation.
3.2 Un-Packaging
3.3 Principles of Operation
8
SECTION 3 - SETUP / INSTALLATION
1. Immediately upon receiving the unit, carefully examine the carton for damage during transit.
2. Use lift forks to move.
3. Remove packing material.
4. Avoid tipping or inverting during handling.
5. The item serial number, model, and electrical ratings are listed on the nameplate. Record this information in
the Maintenance Record provided in APPENDIX 2: Maintenance Record, or your own preventative maintenance system.
This product is designed to capture volatile compounds from certain industrial applications. When operating, air is drawn
into the capture arm, and, into the Carbon Canisters, and then finally exhausted out.
This product consists of four basic components:
1. A structure for housing all components
2. A motor blower assembly
3. Electrical assemblies
4. Carbon Canister(s)
In air pollution control, adsorption is employed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from low to medium concentration
air streams. Adsorption itself is a phenomenon where air molecules passing through a bed of solid particles are selectively
held there by attractive forces. The Carbo unit uses twin carbon cylinders that contain either 50lbs or 75 lbs each. Air sampling
is recommended to effectively determine when the carbon is saturated. This saturation point will depend on frequency
of use and the concentration of VOC being pulled through the carbon canisters.
The Diversitech Canisters are shipped ready for installation with the activated carbon pre-installed. The Carbo system
should be as close to the emission source as possible.
Once the carbon reaches a certain VOC content, saturation, the unit should be shut down and the canister should be
replaced. The old carbon or canister is then returned to a reclamation center or disposed of following local environmental
laws and guidelines.
When controlling organic compounds, it is recommended that the humidity be maintained below 50%. Higher levels of
humidity will fill the carbon pores and reduce the carbon’s ability to adsorb the emissions.
3.4 Selecting a Location
• Choose a location where the unit will be used, near the operator.
• Choose a location sufficiently close to a grounded power source.

3.5 Installation
Correct
Rotation
Each machine is wired for correct rotation. Should you need to service the unit’s motor, upon restart, make sure that the
motor is turning in the right direct, as marked on the motor.
If not already installed, install the carbon canisters onto the plenum. The canisters are held in place with a safety bar to
prevent any accidental tipping. Once in place install the safety filter around the canister.

3.6 Preparing Unit for Operation
10
• Before plugging unit in to an input power source, look at the manufacturer’s label located on the exterior of
the unit and ensure the source is correctly sized in terms of Voltage and Amperes.
• Check that the Carbon filter is properly installed.
• Prior to use in your application, turn the unit ON, and perform a function test. To do so:
1. Turn switch to ON position for a few seconds to check that the motor rotation is correct.
2. LOOK: Is the unit level, stable, and that nothing is obstructing the extraction path.
3. Start the unit
4. LISTEN: Does the motor and suction sound smooth and within expected volumes.
5. FEEL: Place your hand on top of the unit and sense for unexpected vibration. Place you hand in front of
the intake hood/surface and sense for expected level(s) of suction.
• Inform all potential users of this equipment where they may find and review this manual.
!
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and SECTION 4: Operation before use
• Read and understand all Material Safety Data Sheets and Manufacturer’s instructions of all
process materials, consumables, and equipment used in conjunction with this equipment.
• Keep away from all mechanical moving parts including motor, gears, and other pinch points.
• Do not use product without first confirming if a Spark Arrestor is required and installed for
the type of dust, or fumes you are extracting and/or collection. If you are unsure, call a
DiversiTech representative at 1-800-361-3733.
4.1 To Operate Safely
4.2 Controls
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and ensure SECTION 3: Installation has been followed.

5.3 Routine Maintenance Schedule
Frecuency Manual Reference
Pre-Use
• Perform pre-use inspection to ensure operating correctly.
Daily Inspection
• Inspect all equipment surfaces for dust buildup, and wipe down as needed.
• Inspect carbon filters for signs of dust buildup, and service as needed.
• Check that the gasket between the housing and the carbon canister is not damaged.
• Turn unit on, and adjust the capture arm distance to the source so as to capture the maximum amount of fumes.
As Required – Replace Filter
1. Replace after-filter media when it appears torn or dirty.
2. Replace Carbon canisters after air sampling or every 6 months depending on usage and concentration of fumes
being collected.
Every (12) months Inspect Basic Components
1. Clean unreadable labels and exterior surfaces.
2. Wash cabinet internal assemblies with warm water mixed with mild detergent (Allow 12 hours to dry before use).
3. Inspect controls for loose wiring.
4. Examine motors for signs of unusual wear.
The manufacturer recommends the following routine maintenance based on light-duty use in normal operating conditions.
Service more frequently if the unit is used in severe conditions.
