CAMCORP SWF with Internally Mounted Fan - Manual (Page 11)

SETTING UP YOUR UNIT
CAMCORP dust collectors are shipped in various states of assembly depending on the
size and configuration of the unit. Before attempting to move the dust collector or any of
its sections, review both the certified general assembly drawing supplied with your unit
and the rigging and lifting guidelines included in this manual. Become familiar with the
size and number of sections to be assembled, the orientation of inlet(s), outlet(s), access
door(s), and fan as well as the number and location of lifting lugs.
Dust collectors of this type are manufactured from steel sheets and are quite flexible.
Therefore, even though care has been taken to maintain dimensional accuracy and
squareness, some difficulty should be anticipated, and temporary bracing in the field may
be required.
Rigging and Lifting Guidelines
1. Do not lift the dust collector by any attachments other than the lifting lugs
provided.
2. Use all of the lifting lugs provided on the dust collector, or a section of the
dust collector, when making a lift.
3. If the lifting lugs are located below the roof line of the dust collector or
below the top of the section of the dust collector, a vertical pull must be made
to avoid crushing the top of the unit. Use spreader beams to accomplish this
vertical pull.
4. Attach tag lines at several locations to be able to control the unit when lifted
and to prevent spinning or swinging.
5. The dust collector should be lifted and lowered at a slow, uniform rate and
not allowed to bounce or joggle since this can cause excessive impact
stresses at the lift points.
Doors and Flanges: Hold-downs on doors should only be hand tightened. Excessive
pressure can distort the door panel itself resulting in leakage. All bolts on flanges should
be tight. All holes in the dust collector must be plugged prior to start-up if not being
connected.
