Section 1 – Safety Recommendations
Because this unit may be under pressure or vacuum do not attempt to open any
device, doors or panels while fans or blowers are running. The unit has air hoses
and valves with a maximum recommended operating pressure of 100 psig. To
eliminate the danger of bursting care must be taken to insure maximum desired
pressure is not exceeded.
Before servicing any portion of the compressed air system the air supply must be
shut off and any pressure relieved.
If your unit is equipped with a discharge auger or an airlock assure that chain
guards are installed before start-up and servicing is attempted only after
electrical power is locked out.
While servicing the filter it is very important that there are no open flames,
welding or grinding sparks. Dust laden air could be highly explosive and extreme
care must be taken. Most filter cartridges will burn if exposed to sparks, welding
or open flames.
Before entering any dust collector:
• Run cleaning mechanism 20 minutes with the fan off to clean the filter
cartridges.
• Completely discharge dust solids from hopper, if applicable.
• Shut off compressed air supply and relieve pressure in the compressed air
manifold.
• Lock out all electrical power on all equipment especially rotating
equipment.
• On toxic operation, purge collector housing and install a blank in the inlet
duct.
• Install catwalks and safety cables as required.
• Secure access doors in an open position or remove doors.
• Use the buddy system.
• Wear a respirator or appropriate breathing equipment.
• Use common sense.
Follow all current OSHA regulations relative to Lockout / Tag-Out and Confined
Space Entry and any other applicable regulations when servicing your
equipment.
