SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have
thoroughly read all operating and maintenance man-
uals supplied with your equipment and any related
welding machine it will be used with. They include
important safety precautions, operating and mainte-
nance instructions and parts lists.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not touch electrically live parts such
as output terminals or internal wiring.
•Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
•Keep flammable material away.
•Do not weld upon containers which
have held combustibles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARC RAYS can burn.
•Wear eye, ear and body protection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Although the removal of the particu-
late matter from welding smoke may
reduce the ventilation requirement,
concentrations of the clear exhausted
fumes and gases may still be haz-
ardous to health. Avoid breathing
concentrations of these fumes and
gases. Use adequate ventilation
when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub-
lished by the American Welding
Society.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only qualified personnel should operate this equip-
ment.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always operate this equipment with the filters installed
and covers in place as these provide maximum pro-
tection from moving parts and insure proper vacuum
operation and cooling air flow.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When a qualified individual has connected the X-Tractor
4G to input power and proper rotation has been verified,
and when the compressed air has been connected, turn
the machine on. The X-Tractor 4G provides enough suc-
tion for up to four fume guns or small suction heads.
A timer triggers the jet-pulse filter cleaning. This time
can be adjusted on timer T1 inside the side door of
the machine. See the MAINTENANCE section.
Disconnect the machine from input power before
opening the side door. Close the door before restor-
ing input power to the machine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The blower in the X-Tractor 4G is belt-driven. The
belts must be tightened after the first 100 hours of
use, or when they start to slip (making a loud, squeal-
ing noise). See the MAINTENANCE section for
details.
