INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
MACHINE MOUNT / FLOOR MOUNT:
1. Locate an installation site that will provide the following:
a. A solid structure capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
b. 3 ft of unobstructed exhaust space from the outlet of the unit.
c. Easy access to service panels and unit inlet.
d. A close location to the source of the oil mist unit to be captured.
2. Remove the two 5/16-18 bolts from each side of the cabinet on the bottom side of the unit to
secure legs in place. Mount legs to cabinet using removed bolts (FIG. 1).
3. Mark location of the mounting holes on the surface where the OM600 is to be mounted. Note
hole pattern on bottom of cabinet (FIG. 2). Drill holes for a minimum of 3/8” mounting hardware.
4. Secure cabinet to machine using bolts, nuts and lock washers. If machine is mounted on the
floor, use concrete anchors. NOTE: Mounting hardware is not supplied by Micro Air.
5. Connect unit to oil mist source using 6” diameter duct. The duct may be flexible hose or formed
sheet metal. Maximum flow will be achieved with minimum bends in ductwork. The duct must be
sealed to contain oil that will get captured inside it. Use hose clamps or sheet metal screws to
attach duct to unit.
NOTE: There are 2 different set of legs, standard height, 10” tall, or long leg, 16” tall.
CAUTION: The size and weight of the OM600 unit requires two people or mechanical means
to lift and hold in place during mounting.

OIL DRAINAGE:
If captured oil is to be discarded, make sure to follow local, state and national codes.
CAUTION: Always make sure that the unit is turned off before installing drain trap or
servicing the unit.
Provision for draining oil from unit is provided 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 cabinet may be equipped with either a copper
drain trap or a PVC drain trap (FIG. 4). The drain trap can also be retrofitted.
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.
1. For a Copper Trap:
a. The trap must be inserted into the adapter to a depth of 1-1/8”.
b. Use Teflon tape on adapter before installing on cabinet.
2. For a PVC Trap:
a. Use PVC primer and cement to install trap into adapter
b. Use Teflon tape on adapter before installing on cabinet.
