PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove OM550DD unit and mounting brackets (not
assembled) from crate packaging.
2. Inspect unit for shipping damage and report any damage
to freight carrier.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. MACHINE MOUNT / FLOOR MOUNT
1. Remove two 5/16” bolts from each side of cabinet
near the bottom of the unit
FIG.1
2. Use the bolts removed in Step 1 to secure Machine
Mounting brackets to unit as shown in FIG.1.
3. Locate an installation site that will provide for the
following:
A solid structure capable of supporting the weight
of the unit.
Three feet of unobstructed exhaust space from
the outlet of the unit.
Easy access to service panels and unit inlet. As
near as possible to the source of the oil mist unit
to be captured.
4. Mark location of the mounting holes on the surface to
which unit is to be mounted, (see FIG.2 for hole
pattern). Drill or punch holes that are sized for
mounting hardware to be used.
FIG.2
5. Lift OM550DD unit onto machine, aligning machine
mount brackets over mounting holes previously
drilled. Secure to machine using standard bolts, nuts
and lock washers.
CAUTION: The size and weight of the OM550DD requires
two persons or mechanical means to lift and hold during
mounting.
6. Connect unit to oil mist source using a duct having the
same diameter as the inlet of the unit. The duct may
be flexible hose or formed sheet metal. Maximum flow
will be obtained with minimum bends in duct. To
contain oil that will collect on the inside of the duct,
the duct must be sealed. Use hose clamps or sheet
metal screws to attach duct to unit.
B. CEILING MOUNTING
NOTE: The Machine Mount/Hangar Brackets used in Section
A may be used for suspension mounting purposes.
1. Remove the two 5/16” bolts from each side of the
cabinet at the outlet end.
2. Use the bolts removed in Step 1 to secure the ceiling
mount brackets to the unit as shown in FIG.3.
3. Locate an installation site that will meet the
requirements listed in Step 3 of the machine mounting
instruction.

3
FIG.3
4. Firmly secure four lengths of 3/8” threaded rod to a
firm structural support. Space rods to match pattern
made by holes in top of mounting brackets.
5. Thread one nut onto each rod.
CAUTION: The size and weight of the OM550DD requires
two persons or mechanical means to lift and hold during
mounting.
6. Raise the unit up to threaded rods and insert rods
through mounting brackets. Thread a second nut onto
each rod from below bracket.
7. Level unit by tightening the nuts against the mounting
bracket.
8. Thread a third nut onto each rod and tighten against
the second nut to prevent loosening of nuts due to
vibration.
9. Connect the unit to the oil mist source as explained in
Step 6 of the machine mounting instructions.
OIL DRAINAGE
NOTE: Should captured oil be disposed of, make sure to follow
local codes.
Provision for draining oil from unit is provided for by a 1” NPT
pipe coupling on the bottom of the unit. Drainage should be
piped to a central collection system. A shut-off valve or drain
trap is required to prevent air bypass through the drain
opening. The drain system shown in FIG.4 should be used.
Drain connections and lines are not provided.
NOTE: If a shut-off valve is installed in the drain system, the
unit must be emptied regularly to prevent oil from overflowing
into the intake duct.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A. SINGLE PHASE 120 VOLT
Be certain that the system ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position. Plug the power cord into the nearest outlet rated
for 120 volts.
FIG.4
B. THREE PHASE 208-230/460 VOLT
1. Conduit electrical connections should be made by a
qualified electrician, and must comply with local
electrical codes.
CAUTION: Be sure that the designated circuit breaker is
off until all wiring has been completed.
NOTE: It is recommended that a motor starter/protector be
used in the supply circuit to this unit. See Wiring Diagram
FIG.5.
2. Make electrical connections to the input wires as
shown in Wiring diagram FIG.5 for three phase wire
connections.
3. Check blower motor for proper rotation direction. The
blower should rotate clockwise when viewed from the
motor side. If the blower rotates backwards,
interchange two of the power connection wires (L1 &
L2).
4. Confirm proper rotation.
NOTE: 3PH Motor supplied with unit is not thermally protected.
A motor starter is recommended for proper installation. Prior to
running measure motor current and verity that it does not
exceed F.L.A rating of motor.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Before placing unit in service, check the following items:
Check that motor and blower are mounted securely.
Make sure that both corners of every pocket in the filter
bag are supported by the filter support rod and that the
filter support rods are fully engaged in their support
brackets.
Airflow direction arrows on the oil impinge must point
toward the blower.
Check that air intake and oil drain connections are air and
oil tight.
Make sure that the filter access door is closed into proper
position and that door seals are compressed.
Check oil drain connections to unit and reservoir (Not
included).
Unit is now ready to be placed in service.

OPERATION
1. Once all electrical and drain connections have been made
turn unit on.
2. No lubrication is required for the motor because it is a
permanent pre-lube design. Excessive dirt/oil should be
removed.
3. Make sure oil is draining easily through drain pipe.
CHANGING FILTERS
CAUTION: Always make sure that the unit is turned off
before changing filters or servicing the unit.
1. The OM550DD may be equipped with an optional
Minihelic Gauge, which may be used to indicate when filter
needs to be replaced.
2. Initially, the Minihelic Gauge will register a very small
pressure drop across the filters (change in pressure varies
with filter combination used). After continued operation,
airflow will be reduced and the Minihelic Gauge will
measure increased pressure.
NOTE: Record pressure reading for future reference.
3. Minihelic Gauge will measure increased pressure.
4. When the gauge reads high differential pressure, turn the
unit off and remove the impinger pre-filter form the unit.
Wash the pre-filter in a detergent solution to remove dirt
and oil residue.
5. Rinse the pre-filter thoroughly with water, shake dry and
replace it into the with airflow direction pointing to the
blower.
6. Turn on the unit. If gauge continues to read high,
differential pressure, after replacing the pre-filter, then the
pleated oil filter may also need to be replaced.
7. Visually inspect the pleated oil filter. IF the pockets are
loaded with oil and dirt, then remove the filter from the unit
and insert a new filter.
8. Start the unit. The gauge should read low differential
pressure, and the unit operating properly.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Occasionally check the condition of the door seals for any
leaks. Replace if necessary.
2. Check the blower bearings for unusual wear and the
blower wheel for debris and dirt. Clean when necessary.
3. Check the wiring for loose connections or cracked
insulation.
4. No lubrication is required for the motor because it is a
permanent pre-lube design. Excessive dirt/oil should be
periodically removed.
5. Make sure that oil is draining easily through drain pipe.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
CAUTION: Before disassembling the unit or doing any inspection of the parts, make certain that the power has been cut off
and the blower has come to a complete stop. Never run the unit with the access door open or removed.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Unit fails to start Dead power line Check the circuit and switch
Blown fuse Replace fuse
Loose wire in terminal box Reconnect wire
Burned out motor Replace motor
Unit runs slowly Wired for wrong voltage Check input voltage
Inadequate capture Improper rotation Check wiring diagram
Dirty filters Service filters
(see Changing Filters Section)
Obstruction in hose/arm Reach into hood and remove obstruction
Vibration Loose mounting bolts Tighten bolts
Foreign objects in blower Remove access door and remove objects
Dirty disposable filters Service filters
Obstructions in hose/arm assembly Reach into hood and remove obstruction
