Disclaimers & Warning s

WARNING: All persons, by purchasing a motorized dust collection syst em, motor, or individual parts from CLEAR VUE CYCLONES, or using these instructions which are provided as suggestions only, agree to the following disclaimer:

Installing and/or operating this motorized dust collection system, or use of individual

parts, involves the risk of serious bodily injury or even death. The buyer and user

accept total responsibility for any and all operation or use that may lead to personal

injury, economic loss, social distress, other losses, costs and damages. Seller is not

responsible for injuries and or damages of any kind resulting from operating this

motorized dust collection system, motor, or use of individual parts or instructions.

Duplication of any part of this manual without expressed written permission from

Bushey Enterprises, Inc. is prohibited.

IMPORTANT!

Minimum Recommended Ceiling Height

A minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 113 inches is required for systems with a 30-gallon drum. Systems with a 55-gallon drum require a minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 119 inches. The content of this manual is based upon the assembly of the system with the necessary ceiling height.

Leaks

To maximize performance of your dust collection system, it will be imperative to check for leaks. Leaks on the suction side of the system will reduce the CFM (cubic feet per minute) performance levels. We recommend the sealing of all connections in your ducting.

Leaks in the collection drum or at the bottom of the cyclone are a major problem. Such leaks will cause an up-flow of air through the cyclone and prevent the dust from entering the collection drum. This will affect the separation efficiency of the cyclone and m or e dus t will advance through to your filters, which may cause blockage.

Leaks found anywhere after the dust reaches the blower may be blown back into your shop. This is a hazardous situation and these leaks should be sealed immediately.

Testing for leaks can be done by performing a “smoke test”. With any smoke-producing device (such as an incense stick), waft the smoke around the various seams of the system. Leaks in the ducting will cause the smoke to disperse. Leaks around the base of the cyclone will cause the smoke to be pulled in. Seal any leaks for optimal performance.

Attaching the Impeller

Improper installation of your impeller can lead to the impeller coming off during operation. Significant damage to your system and/or bodily harm can result. It is imperative that you read and follow these directions closely. Detailed assembly videos can be found under the Education Center/Assembly Instruction section of our website at www.clearvuecyclones.com.

1. Locate the taper-lock bushing (and screws) installed on the imp eller.

a. Remove it by inserting the (3) taper-lock bolts into the smaller, threaded holes in the

bushing and tightening them down until taper-lock releases from the impeller hub.

b. Pry the taper-lock slightly open by inserting a flat-head screwdriver into t he s lit in the side.

2. Loosely reattach the t aper-lock bushing to the impeller:

a. Insert the (3) taper-lock bolts into the larger, non-threaded holes in

the taper-lock bushing.

b. Slide the taper-lock into the hub in the center of the impeller with the

wider side up, lining up the taper-lock bolts with the threaded holes on the impeller.

c. Finger-tighten the bolts to secure them in place.

Make sure the taper-lock bolts are inserted through the larger, non-threaded holes in the taper-lock bushing, into the threaded holes of the impeller. The alternate set of holes is used for impeller removal only.

3. Position the impeller:

a. Slide the impeller onto the motor shaft, with the taper-lock bushing facing up. b. Insert the motor key and lightly tighten the setscrew using a

3

∕

” hex key until it cannot fall

out.

c. For single phase motors, lift the impeller so that the taper-lock is flush with the top of the

motor shaft.

d. For three phase motors, lift the impeller so that the taper-lock sits ¼” below the top of the

motor shaft.

4. Tighten the taper-lock bolts:

a. Consecutively tighten each taper-lock bolt by a ¼

revolution, until t hey are all ti ght.

The tightening of each bolt wi ll cause the subsequent bolts to feel as if they’ve loos ened.

b. Repeat this process until each bolt is torq ued to the

manufacturer’s specificat ion of 5 ft/lb s.

Upon completion, there s hould be a minimum of ¼” clearance betwee n the back of the imp eller and the motor bolts intalled in the motor plate. T here also may

and slide it back so that the lip is resting on the horizontal arms of the Wall Mounting Bracket.

a. For stand-mounted systems, lift the Upper Cylinder assembly up and lower it

through the top opening of the stand so that the lip is resting on upper frame of the stand.

4. Attach the Cone to the bottom of the Upper Cylinder using the 18” cl amp.

5. Install the motor/impeller assembly:

a. With the help of your installation partner, turn the motor/impeller assembly over so that

the fins of the impeller are facing downward.

If your system came with an Electrical Box, it is recommended that you wi re the 6’ whip into the wiring box of the motor first, prior to installing the motor/impeller assembly. Please refer to the Electrical Box instruction sheet for more detail.

b. With the help your installation partner, lift the motor/impeller assembly up and lower

the impeller down inside the Blower Housing. Rotate the assembly so that the holes on motor plate line up with the holes on the Blower Housing top.

Systems using a 30-gallon drum require a minimum of 113” of ceiling height in order to have adequate clearance above the Blower Housing for installing the motor/impeller assembly. Systems using a 55-gallon drum require a minimum of 119” of ceiling height.

c. Secure the motor plate to the Blower Housing using (1) 3/8"-16 x 3/4" hex bolt, 3/8" lock

washer and 3/8" flat washer per hole.

d. Tighten securely.

Do NOT turn the motor on until the system is completely assembled, including the collection drum. Doing so may cause the circuit breaker to trip, physical damage to the system and/or bodily harm.

Assembling the Flangeless Filter Stack (filtered systems only)

1. Stack the two filters together, one on top of the other.

2. Run a bead of silicone caulk around the outside of the seam where the two filters meet .

3. Secure the band clamp:

a. Place a ¼”-20 flat washer on the ¼”-20 x 1”

bolt.

b. Wrap the band clamp around the seam

between the two filters.

c. Insert the ¼”-20 x 1” bolt with the ¼”-20 flat

washer through the hole on the band clamp and tighten.

d. Place a ¼”-20 wing nut on the hex bolt and

tighten.

4. Place the stacked filters on top of the Filter Clean

Out Box.

a. Run a bead of clear silicone caulk around the base of the filters, where they meet the

Filter Clean Out Box, to ensure an airtight seal. The silicone caulk will hold the filters securely in place and can be removed easily by cutting the bead with a razor knife.

b. Run a bead of clear silicone caulk around the seams where the PETG wrapper meets

the MDF top and bottom on the Filter Clean Out Box.

5. Mount the Filter Flange to the top of the Filter Stack.

3. Attach the lid to the cyclone:

a. Place a 6” flex hose clamp over the top of the flex hose. Make sure it is loose. b. Install the lid by placing the 6” flex hose over the base of the cyclone.

The flex hose will be an extremely tight fit around the base of the cyclone. This is by design in order to make sure the connection is air tight. The flex hose can be made more pliable

for installation by heating it with a hair dryer.

c. Tighten 6” flex hose clamp to secure flex hose to the base of the cyclone. d. Run a bead of clear silicone caulk around the seam at the top of the flex hose.

A longer length of flex hose may be used between the base of the cyclone and collection drum lid, if needed.

Final Adjustments

1. For both wall-mounted and stand-mounted systems, once assemly is complete, it is recommended to bolt the cyclone in place.

a. Predrill (2) holes – one on each side – of the ring on the Upper Cylinder in a location

where the ring makes contact with either the horizontal member of the Wall Brac ket or

the frame of the s tand. b. Extend the holes down through the Wall Bracke t or frame . c. Secure the Upper Cylinder to the Wall Bracket/frame using (1) ¼"-20 x 2" bolt, (2) ¼"-

20 flat washers, (1) ¼"-20 lock washer and (1) ¼"-20 nut through each hole.

Electrical – Single-Phase Motors

Clear Vue Cyclones highly recommends the use of a professional, licensed electrician to complete the wiring and any electrical work associated with this installation. Significant damage to your system and/or bodily harm can result.

The Leeson 5HP motor is designed to rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Motors are prewired direct from Leeson and may be wired for either rotation. You will need to check the wiring to ensure it is correct.

Please also refer to the assembly sheet provided with the Electrical Box.

1. Follow the directions on the Leeson motor for wiring the motor for a clockwise rotation:

a. Connect L1 to P1. b. Connect L2 to both T4 & T8. c. Connect P3 & T1 & T5 – wire together and cap off with a wire lug. d. Connect the ground wire (bare wire) to the green screw inside the motor connection

box.

Leeson recommends the use of wire lugs in lieu of wire nuts to secure all connections.

Leeson defines motor rotation with the motor shaft facing away. For our installation puposes, rotation is defined from the opposite end of the motor. In order to obtain a counter-clockwise rotation when veiwed from below, please follow the clockwise instructions on Leeson’s motor plate, which match step 1 above.

Once the motor is wired, it is important to verify the rotation of the impeller. Disconnect the

flex hose attached to the Blower Housing exhasut to check rotation. From this vantage point,

the impeller should be rotating from the back of the Blower Housing towards the front.

Note that our impellers are backward inclined, allowing our system to move high volumes of

air at a variety of static pressures. Each blade on the impeller has a slight “C” shape. When

rotating correctly, the convex side of the blade will be hitting the air first.
