the type of dust, or fumes you are extracting and/or collection. If you are unsure, call a
DiversiTech representative at 1-800-361-3733.
4.2 Controls
• The machine controls are basic, and consist solely of a power switch with
ON and OFF positions.
• If the machine is equipped with a Minihelic differential pressure gauge,
the Minihelic should read between .8 and 4.2 inches W.C. during normal
operation.
• For a reading of more than 4 inches W.C, consult SECTION 5: Maintenance
and Troubleshooting as filter servicing may be required
4.3 Pre-Use Checklist
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and ensure SECTION 3: Pre-Installation has been followed.
• Before plugging unit in to an input power source, look at the manufacturer’s label located on the exterior of the unit
and ensure the source is correctly sized in terms of Voltage and Amperes.
• Prior to use in your application, turn the unit ON, and perform a function test. To do so:
2. Turn switch to ON position.
3. LOOK: Is the unit level, stable, and that nothing is obstructing the extraction path.
4. LISTEN: Does the motor and suction sound smooth and within expected volumes.
5. FEEL: Place your hand on top of the unit and sense for unexpected vibration. Place you hand in front of
the intake hood/surface and sense for expected level(s) of suction.

4.4 Principles of Operation
This product is designed to capture and clean smoke and dust from medium & heavy duty welding, soldering, and grinding
applications. When operating, air is drawn in to the nozzle, passes through the 7” diameter hose, then through the air
cleaner’s filtration system, and is exhausted through the rear discharge.
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Capture Arm(s)
2. A blower
3. Cartridge Filter
4. Motor & Electrical assemblies
• The operator is to positon the machine within operating distance, and activate the caster wheel brakes.
• The operator can then position the capture arm close enough to the worksite to capture all dust and fumes that will
be produced.
• Ensuring that all safety procedures have been followed, the operator can turn on the machine and begin working.
• When not in use, the machine should be turned off.
4.5 Failure Event
If, for some reason, during operation there is an accident, a blockage occurs, the Minihelic displays abnormal pressure differences,
or the machine begins to act abnormally, the operator should immediately shut off the machine. This is considered a machine
failure and the following steps should be taken:
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
3. Seek medical attention if an accident occurred.
4. Follow the guidelines in SECTION 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Remember, under no circumstance should the machine be turned back on while performing maintenance.
