Self Cleaning Continuous Filter Chapter 3: Installation

Pre-Installation Considerations
Note: Installation crews should always consist of a minimum of two (2) persons.
Personnel should NEVER be allowed to work inside the collector alone.
Your unit is usually mounted on a reinforced concrete foundation. Roof mounting is also
possible. Factors to be considered prior to installation are the weight of the Self Cleaning
Continuous Filter, snow loads, full hopper loads and wind loads.
The installation site should be clear of obstructions such as utility lines and overhanging
roofs. Ample space should be available for the operation of a crane during assembly.
Note: The caulking, nuts, bolts, washers and the pressure differential gauge are
shipped in one box with the installation instructions.
Assembling Main Housing
1. Set support frame legs in place and secure with anchor bolts (See Figure 1 below.).
2. Connect cross bracing to support frame legs (See Figure 1)
Note: All bolts should be installed loosely until each subassembly is complete. After
frame is square and legs are plumb, tighten all bolts securely.
