POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less
than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is
used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power
line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of
the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good
contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120V, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the
power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-
conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace
damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal
rating less than 150 volts: If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that
looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the ma- chine will have a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B,
may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter is used, it must be held in a place with a metal
screw.

7
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric
Code.
In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If
you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and
is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle
which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. C, shows the correct gauge to use depending on
the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

FOREWORD
3 Speed Ambient Air Cleaner with Electrostatic Filter is specifically designed to quietly
circulate and filter non-metallic dust which is generated throughout the work area. The
Air Cleaner is furnished with two filters: an outer filter which filters particles that are five
microns and larger, and a secondary disposable filter that captures 91% of the dust
particles that are one micron and larger (one micron = one millionth of a meter).
Because breathing microscopic particles can be a potential health hazard, filtering
microscopic dust particles offers a cleaner and safer environment. This Air Cleaner will
filter the air in a room measuring 20’ x 20’ x 8’ either 13, 16, or 18 times an hour,
depending on the setting. If desired, multiple units can be used to filter larger areas. An
occasional cleaning and/or replacement of filters is the only required maintenance.

USING THE AIR CLEANER ON A BENCH OR FLOOR SURFACE
Locate (4) self-adhesive rubber feet (A) Fig. 3 supplied with the unit. Carefully place the
Air Cleaner on a firm supporting surface with access to the bottom of the cabinet. Apply
a self-adhesive rubber foot (A) Fig. 3 to the bottom at each corner of the air cleaner
cabinet. The rubber feet will help eliminate vibration and will prevent the possibility of
the air cleaner “walking” across the floor or work surface.
For operator safety, clamp the unit to a work bench or position it securely
on sawhorses.
The air cleaner cabinet has convenient lifting handles located on either side (one of
which is shown at (A) Fig. 4). To avoid damage to the air filters, carry the air cleaner with
the filters positioned away from your body.
MOUNTING AIR CLEANER TO THE CEILING OR OVERHEAD SUPPORT
This unit weighs approximately 60 pounds. When mounting overhead, be
certain that the unit is securely fastened and supported.
