SAFETY WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

1. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOW
ING PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN SE
RIOUS INJURY. INCLUDING DEATH IN EX
TREME CASES. SAVE THESE INSTRUC

TIONS.

WARNING:

(EXPLOSION HAZARD)

Tfits unit contains parts which can arc or sparK
during normal operation. Do not use In areas
contaminated by volatile or flamible materials
as these spariis may ignite the contaminates
and cause a dangerous explosion.

CAUTION:

(AIR FLOW BLOCKAGE)

Since exhaust air leaves the end of this unit,
caution should bo observed not to position unit
in such a way as to block the exhaust

MISCELLANEOUS CAUTIONS:

1. Use of any attachment not recommended
or sold by the air cleaner manufacturer may
result in nsk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.

WARNING:

(HARMFUL FUMES)

The filters used in this unit will remove solid par
ticulate ONLY, and do not eliminate fumes and
gases that may be a health hazard. Fdlure to
observe the presence of such fumes could cause
serious illness or death.

CAUTION:

(SHOCK HAZARD)

To insure continued protection against shock

hazard, connect A.C. cord only to property
grounded outlets. Replace defective cords im
mediately. Don't expose to moisture or liquid as
this could defeat the electrical insulation thus
causing electrical shock.

CAUTION:

(STRONG VACUUM)

Care must be taken to avoid personal injury by
not allowing hose inlet to contact any body area
such as eyes, ears, mouth, etc.

CAUTION:

(LIFTING)

Improper lifting or handling of this unit could

causa back injury. Follow the recommended

method for lifting.

2. To reduce the risk of damage to the elec
tric plug or cord, disconnect by pulling plug
rather than cord when removing ^wer form the
air cleaner.

3. Make sure cord and hose are located so
it wll not be stepped on, tripped over, or oth­enwse subjected to damage or stress.

4. An extension cord should not be used un
less absolutely necessary. Use of improper ex
tension cord could result in risk of fire and
electric shock.

If extension cord must bo used, use only a
groundted cord Eind follow these recommenda

tions:

25 ft.
50 ft

100 ft

5. Do not disassemble the air cleaner. Take
it to a qualified serviceman when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Thisunit Is a portable alrcteanerem ploying one Iherni ally pro
tected, high performance motor producing very high velocity
air flow through the unit Rne solid particulate materfai and
smoke may be removed from the air by the fitter media.

OPERATION

Your ACE Industrial Products machine Is designed as a
source capture device, l.e.. It Is Intended to eliminate smoke
and parllctiate at their point of origin. Keeping this in mind,
the machine should be operated in the following manner

initial spark trap collects large peirtides before they reach

the prefitter. This trap further isolates the filters from sparks
In the case of a welding operation.

Upon leaving the trap, the air is passed through pre-fitters.
These pre-filters are designed to catch the iol^r particios
leaving the trap. These relatively Irtexpensive pro-fltters pre
vents the more expenstvo main fitter trom becomirtg quickly
dogged. Thepre-filtersmaybechartgedseveralflmesbefore
the main fitter rteeds to be changed.

ALL FACTiORY FURNISHED FILTERS HAVE A UJ_ CLASS
B RATING AND USING ANY FILTERS OTHER THAN THOSE
SUPPLIED FOR THIS UNIT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

Use of any product other than that recommended by the
manufacbjrer will void the warranty.

The main (orfirtalf fitter may be selected from several grades
available, depending upon the level of performance d^red.
All of these are high efficiency multi-flow fitters which feature
extended surface area for long life In velocity ftttration
systems. See the Replacement Parts & Fitters section toward
the efKt of this manual for part mimbers and fitter effidendes.

SefecUon of the filter best suited for the job should be dis
cussed with a dealer or a factory representative.

A dlfferentiaJ pressure gage Is an integral part of the unit.
When the filters becorrve dogged, the gage wl8 Indicate an
increase in differential pressure. At mis point, the fitters
should be changed. Deper>dinguponth0appllcation,thepre­filter can be changed several times before tire main fitter must
be changed. Changing the prefltters regularly can extend the
useful Itie of the final fitter up to 50%.

Re-read the section on Safety Warnings & Cautions before
proceeding any further.

1. Place the machine on a fiat, level surface. Pick a location
that will allow unrestricted flow of the exhaust air to the
atmosphere.

2. For units with wheels or casters, lock the wheels or block

the wheels.

3. Place the collection nozzle as dose to the work as practi­ceil without irrterferirtg with the operator. Secure the nozzle
if necessary.

4. Using the OrVOff switch, turn the machine On. Should the
motor not start, or should the machine make unusual
noises, Immediately turn the machirw off artd seek trabed
maintenance personnel. Do not continue to use the de
vice.

5. Upon completion of the spedflc manufacturing or welding
operation, turn the machine off. Continuous running of the
njachine will continue to remove particulates from the
gerteral environment агк1 will cause premature dogging of
the filters.

6. When the ‘fitter dogged" light or the differential pressure
gage (depending upon mod^ indicate that the filter(s) are
doggOT, turn the machine ofi ard remove the power cord
from its power source.

See the section on Inslallatkxi and use the reverse proc
ess to remove the dirty fitters. Re-instali new fitters and
reconnect the machine to Its power source.

UNPACKING

Carefully inspect the unit for corK»aIed damage that may
have occurred during shlpplr>g and harKllIng, If any damage
Is found, Immediately contact me freight comparty. Make sure
that there are r>o dents In the housing, as they will prevent the
fitters from sliding into the units smoothty.
