2 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the general requirements, engineering specifications and maintenance
needs of the Carbone Dust Collection System also referred to as DCS.
3 OPERATING CONDITION
The DCS is constructed to operate 24/7 at room temperature.
Its purpose is to catch carbon dust from at the source on ten (10) BUNG brush holder.
The DCS control panel was designed to be enslaved by the generator.
So when the generator is stopped (on purpose or for emergency / failure) the DCS will also stop.
The DCS will stop itself when full and has also a switch for Manual stop

6 START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Failure to follow these simple start-up instructions could result in the failure of your new DuroVac
Industrial Vacuum Cleaner
Start-Up
Open the access door on your new vacuum and inspect all filter bags to assure they are properly seated
and did not come loose during shipment. Remove the dirt can and look at the tube sheet from below; all
the filters should be installed neatly and evenly. If the filters are not seated tightly, dust will leak by them.
Leave the access door open.
Place an amp probe on one line of the electrical connections, and “bump” the motor. You should get air
blowing from the discharge silencer. If you note a vacuum at the discharge silencer, reverse the motor
direction.
Start the unit, and allow it to run several minutes with the access door open. Listen for any “unusual”
sounds. The system should run quietly, smoothly, and cool.
After a few minutes, feel the casing of the vacuum pump for “hot spots”. It should feel uniformly slightly
warm.
With the motor still running, connect a hose into the system, and close the access door.
While watching the amp probe reading, slowly close off the end of the hose with a piece of wood. The
amperage should climb to within 90 - 95% of the motor’s name plate full amperage rating for the voltage
at which you are operating.
If the motor amperage holds at or slightly below the recommended full load with all hoses fully closed,
and air is bleeding in through the vacuum relief valves, then unit is ready for full operation.
NOTE: The vacuum relief valves are factory set to the proper vacuum relief setting before
shipping. If they do not open, or if the amperage exceeds the nameplate motor amperage, shut the
unit off and contact the factory IMMEDIATELY.

7 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
NOTE: A loose or unsecured bag will allow product to pass through the filter separator and will
plug the in-line filter.
The filter bags should be shaken at least daily, preferably after each use. To shake filter bags, simply
open the bag house door and shake the filter assembly arm swiftly back and forth. This rapid movement
will dislodge particles on the inside of the filter bag surfaces and drop them into the dust can.
NOTE: The unit must be OFF in order to shake the filters.
NOTE : If the filters are to be replaced, please replace them ALL at once, or they will be a constant
source of frustration.
Filter Bag Maintenance
The following is a recommended program of preventative maintenance:
1. Check that the filters are seated properly and that they do not appear to be leaking WEEKLY.
There should be NO appreciable or visible dust inside the service access door.
2. Replace ALL the filters if wear points or holes are noticed
3. If the secondary filter cartridge becomes plugged rapidly, check for holes in the primary filter
bags, or upgrade the primary filter material to a more efficient type
4. Replace the secondary filter cartridge when the manometer reads higher than 12” WG
Removing Filter Bags
To change the filter bags, remove each bag from the filter shaker assembly inside the tank at the top.
Squeeze the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag compressing the snap ring into a “U” shape, and remove
from the bag plate hole.
Installing New Filter Bags
Attach the grommet in the bag with bolts on the filter shaker assembly inside the tank at the top.
Grasp the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag and compress into a “U” shape. Insert into the proper hole
in the bag plate, and release the bag bottom, assuring the “groove” in the bag cuff is centered in the bag
plate hole.
After installing all the filters, check the installation from below; all the filters should be neatly and evenly
seated.
WARNING: Failure to assure proper seating of the bag in the bag plate will allow material leakage.
