4.1 To Operate Safely
SECTION 4 - OPERATION
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and ensure SECTION 3: Pre-Installation has been followed.
• 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.
• Prior to use in your application, turn the unit ON, and perform a function test. To do so:
1. Turn switch to ON position.
2. LOOK: Is the unit level, stable, and that nothing is obstructing the extraction path.
3. LISTEN: Does the motor and suction sound smooth and within expected volumes.
4. 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.
4.3 Pre-Use Checklist
• The machine controls are basic, and consist solely of a power switch with ON and OFF positions.
• 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.

4.4 Principles of Operation
If, for some reason, during operation there is an accident, a blockage occurs, or the machine begins to act abnormally, the operator should immediately shut off the
machine. This is considered a machine failure and the following steps should be taken:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
3. Seek medical attention if an accident occurred.
4. Follow the guidelines in SECTION 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Remember, under no circumstance should the machine be turned back on while performing maintenance.
This product is designed to capture and clean smoke and dust from medium & heavy duty welding, soldering, and grinding applications. When operating,
air is drawn in to the nozzle, passes through the 6” diameter hose, then through the air cleaner’s filtration system, and is exhausted.
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Capture Arm(s)
2. A blower
3. Cartridge Filter
4. Motor & Electrical assemblies
• The operator is to install the machine within operating distance.
• The operator can then position the capture arm close enough to the worksite to capture all dust and fumes that will
be produced.
• Ensuring that all safety procedures have been followed, the operator can turn on the machine and begin working.
• When not in use, the machine should be turned off.
4.5 Failure Event

!
!
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and SECTION 4: Operation before maintenance.
• Do not breathe the dust collected from product while changing/cleaning filters or performing maintenance on this
product.
• Disconnect power before performing any maintenance on unit, including filter inspection. The input power to this unit is
high voltage, and touching any live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. Do not touch live electrical
parts.
• Keep away from all mechanical moving parts including motor, gears, and other pinch points while operating.
• Operating this unit causes some parts to heat to a point that will burn bare hands. Before maintenance allow parts to
cool, or use proper tools and personal protection equipment during maintenance.
• Suction machine must be turned off when performing any maintenance.
• Appropriate ear protection is required according to jurisdiction.

5.3 Routine Maintenance Schedule
5.4 Servicing Filter
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.
1. Review Maintenance Safety in Section 5.1
2. Turn off power and disconnect input power cord.
3. All components should be supported to avoid falling damage or injury to operator.
4. Support the filter bracket while unbolting the knobs from the connecting rods.
5. Remove the filter bracket.
6. Remove the connecting rods to ensure the filter is not damaged during removal.
7. Remove filter gently so as to minimize agitating dirt and dust, and place it in a bag/container.
8. Clean filter:
• Use clean/dry air only at a pressure not more than 550 kPa at 30 cm from media.
• Direct the compressed air through the filter from the clean side, running the nozzle up and down the filter pleats.
• Do not bring the nozzle in contact with the filter media as damage is likely to occur.
9. Inspect filter for any damage and replace if necessary.
10. If necessary, clean filter brackets of dirt and debris.
11. Reassemble:
• Install the clean filter
• Install the connecting rods, ensuring the filter is not damaged during installation.
• Install the filter bracket.
• Install the Knobs on the connecting rods with sufficient tightness.
