is to lay the stand down, then bolt the cyclone
with the fan / blower to the stand. The iron ring
will slide into stand.
3. Tip the fan housing and cone upright. The
system is very top heavy.
4. Bolt the elbow-cartridge housing to the fan
housing outlet (rectangular). Clamp the cartridge
to the flat plate. Clamp the dust bins to the
bottom of the cartridge filters.

5. Attach flex hose to bottom of collector and to lid of
dust bin. Securely fasten hose clamps. There must be
an air tight seal between the collector and dust bin.
6. Make sure the dust bin lid sits securely and the rubber
gasket on the bin lid is in place on the barrel. Maintain
an air tight seal between cyclone and dust bin to prevent
motor from overloading.
IMPORTANT:
Do not operate the collector until the dust bin is in place and
the connector is air tight or motor damage could result!
Stay clear of fan exhaust while collector is operating.

7. Attach the ductwork from the woodworking machines to the inlet of the collector.
8. Bolt Angle Iron Stand to the floor. Unit is top heavy!
VII. Fan / Blower Maintenance
A high pressure blower requires a certain amount of resistance which will prevent motor
over amperage.
Make sure power source matches wire voltage configurations.
Check set screw and key in fan wheel, make sure fan wheel is secure. Fan blower should
not vibrate.
1. Electrical - Failure to follow instructions and safe electrical procedures could result in serious injury or death.
Disconnect all power and discharge all capacitors before servicing. Install and ground per local and national
codes. Consult a licensed electrician with questions or if repairs are required.
lectrical Connections -
A.) All wiring, fusing, and grounding must comply with National lectrical Codes and local codes.
B.) To determine proper rotation and voltage connections, refer to the Wire Diagram of this manual.
C.) Use the proper size of line current protection and motor controls as required by the National lectrical Code
and local codes. Recommended use is 125% of full load amps as shown on the nameplate for motors with
40 degrees Celsius ambient and a service factor over 1.0. Recommended use is 115% of full load amps as
shown on the nameplate for all other motors. Do not use protection with larger capacities than recommended.
Three phase motors must have all three phases protected.
2. Cleanliness - Keep both the interior and exterior of the motor free from dirt, water, oil, and grease.
3. Safety - Motors should be installed, protected and fused in accordance with latest issue of National lectrical
Code, N MA Standard Publication No. MG 2 and local codes. Rotating parts such as pulleys, coupling, external
fans, and unusual shaft extensions should be permanently guarded. Keep hands and clothing away from
moving parts. lectrical repairs should be made by trained, qualified personnel only.
4. Service - Notice - If lubrication instructions are shown on the motor nameplate, they will supercede this
general instruction.
Warning: Rotating Fan Blades. Keep Objects Clear of Inlet and Outlet.
