START-UP CHECKLIST

1. Installation

Make sure the unit is secured to grade. The ladder(s) and platform(s) must be
tightened and set up according to OSHA requirements. Ducting and piping must
be secured and routed out of the way of traffic whenever possible to avoid injury.
Ducting must also be free of all debris including moisture.

2. Interior of the dirty air plenum

A. Make sure that the filter bag assemblies hang straight and the bottoms do not

touch each other or any part of the collector interior. If this occurs, the bags
will have holes worn in them wherever they contact and will require
replacement.

B. High-level alarms should be connected sufficiently below the air inlet(s) to

avoid a plugged up inlet or blinded off filter bags.

3. Clean air plenum

A. All bolts on the flanges must be in place and properly tighten.

B. Verify that the reverse air fan and sweep arm drive are properly installed.

4. Exterior of dust collector

A. Access doors, inspection ports, and relief vents should seat effectively to

prevent leakage.

B. All bolts must be properly tightened.

C. Operate any equipment connected to the dust discharge of the dust collector.

Check the rotation of any motor driven equipment such as rotary airlocks,
horizontal unloading valves, live bottom bin activators, and screw conveyors.
Check slide gates and butterfly valves for binding.

5. Explosion relief panels – shear bolt style (where applicable)

A. Inspect for broken or missing bolts.
