Control box

The control system consists of two switches:

1. On/Off swich.

Turns machine off in OFF position and on in ON position.

2. Fwd/Rev switch.

Changes direction of vacuum pump. Sometimes direction of vacuum will need to be reversed depending on phase order of power supply.

10 - English

IMPORTANT!

Direction should NEVER be changed while machine is switched to ON position (this is why there is a lock on the FWD/REV switch). If direction needs to be changed, turn machine back to OFF position, wait for 1 minute, change direction and then switch back on. Once direction setting has been changed, remove key from FWD/REV switch before switching back on.

Changing of direction while machine is running will result in motor failure.

Operation (dry use)

Setting up

1. Position the vacuum in the working area.

2. Ensure dust collection bag is ﬁ tted to collection

cone.

3. Plug vacuum into power supply and switch on power

supply.

IMPORTANT!

Ensure vacuum is set to OFF position prior to turning on power supply.

4. Disconnect ﬁ lter link hose from top of secondary

ﬁ lter housing.

5. Switch machine to ON position for 2 seconds and

place hand over ﬁ lter link hose coupling. Feel with hand whether machine is sucking or blowing.

1. Switch the machine to the off position.

2. Using a large rubber hammer/mallet, tap the top surface of the primary ﬁ lter housing 10 times. While this is happening you will notice all the dust from inside the unit drop into the plastic bag attached to the collection cone.

Changing the dust bags. Once the dust bag has collected around 20 kg of

dust, to avoid lifting hazards caused by overﬁ lling of dust bags, the dust bag should be changed.

1. Clear the primary ﬁ lters of dust as outlined previous- ly and agitate bag so that dust settles in the bottom

of the bag.

2. Switch the machine back into ON position (you will notice the air is sucked from the plastic bag).

3. Tie bag off below the collection cone using a cable tie or other bag tie.

4. Release elastic strap and remove sealed bag.

6. If machine is blowing, wait 1 minute (for motor to completely stop turning) and switch machine to other direction using FWD/REV switch.

IMPORTANT!

Always remove key from FWD/REV switch. This will lock switch and make it impossible to change direction of motor when machine is running.

7. Once machine direction is set correctly it is ready for use with grinding machine.

Cleaning the primary ﬁ lters.

After every 10-20 minutes of operation, the primary ﬁ lters will need cleaning as dust will buildup on the inside of the ﬁ lter socks. The easiest and most effec- tive way to clear the dust buildup on the ﬁ lter sock is as follows:

IMPORTANT!

Use extreme caution when releasing and reattaching elastic strap.

5. Using elastic strap, attach new empty plastic bag (you will notice the air is sucked from the plastic bag).

6. Machine is now ready to be used for duct collection again.

IMPORTANT!

It is important to keep vacuum running during the bag changing process. This will keep the valve in the collection cone closed ensuring no dust will drop out from within the collection cone when bag changing is being performed.

This method will greatly reduce operator exposure to ﬁ ne dust particles when using the equipment. It is strongly advisable that all operators use a dust mask/respirator when changing dust bags or performing maintenance on the machine.

Operation (wet use)

The Husqvarna DC 5500 can also be used for collection of wet materials such as slurry formed from the wet grinding process.

In order to use the machine for wet collection, simply remove the primary ﬁ lter socks from the unit.

1. Disconnect the ﬁ lter link hose.

2. Release the large toggle latch.

3. Fold the primary ﬁ lter housing into the forward position.

4. Release the 2 small toggle latches.

5. Lift the primary ﬁ lters from within the primary ﬁ lter housing.

IMPORTANT!

It is strongly advisable that all operators use a dust mask/respirator when removing primary ﬁ lter socks from the machine.

Troubleshooting

Whilst every measure has been undertaken by the manufacturer to ensure smooth reliable operation of the machine, sometimes problems can arise.

The following possible problems may arise:

1. The machine will not run.

Ensure power connected to machine is on. If ma chine still will not run, remove cover from control box and test for presence of power supply at top of left side contactor. If no power at contactors, test power supply at power source. If power supply is ok at source but there is no supply at contactors in con trol box, check connections inside accessory power point. These checks should only be performed by a licensed electrician)

2. The machine makes a low humming sound when switched to ON.

This indicates there are only two-phases of power supply at the motor. Switch off machine immediately to avoid motor burn-out. Have an electrician check the machine to determine the cause of the missing phase. If all three-phases are ok at motor then there is a strong possibility the motor is faulty.

(B) Make sure ﬂ ap in bottom of collection cone is closing properly and creating a seal. If this ﬂ ap is not functioning properly, machine will tend to suck up dust bag when switched on.

6. The machine is blowing dust out the exhaust.

(A) Normally this means the secondary ﬁ lters are not installed properly and dust is bypassing them. Ensure the seals on the ends of the second ary ﬁ lters opposite the secondary ﬁ lter housing door are creating a proper seal. This can be viewed by looking down the ﬁ lter link hose coupling.

(B) Secondary ﬁ lters may need replacing.

3. The machine will only run in one direction.

This indicates a problem with either the FWD/REV switch mechanism or one of the contactors. Have an electrician test the machine.

4. The machine will run but there is not power at the accessory power point.

Check connections inside accessory power point.

5. The machine does not have much suction. (A) Inspect inside secondary ﬁ lter housing and make sure secondary ﬁ lters are not blocked with dust. If blocked up with dust, remove and clean ﬁ lters by either tapping out or using compressed air.

IMPORTANT!

A respirator should be worn at all times when performing ﬁ lter cleaning activities.

If large amounts of dust present in secondary ﬁ lter housing, this indicates a problem with the primary ﬁ lters. Usually this means there is a hole in one or more of the primary ﬁ lters or one of the primary ﬁ lters has come loose.

Check primary ﬁ lters for small holes or perforations. Small holes can be repaired/patched using silicone sealant.

English - 13

Maintenance

The following maintenance steps should be followed to maximise optimal performance and reliability of the machine:

Daily Inspection of Micro Filters:

It is highly recommended that operators check dust levels inside secondary ﬁ lter housing on a daily basis. This will indicate the effectiveness of the primary ﬁ lters. If there is dust building up inside the secondary ﬁ lter housing, it is more than likely due to one of the following reasons:

1. Small holes or perforations have developed in primary ﬁ lters.

2. There is a problem with a seal in the primary ﬁ lter housing assembly. If when inspected, it is found that there is dust building up inside the secondary ﬁ lter housing, it is recommended to remove the primary ﬁ lters and check for small holes or perforations.

Usually, small holes will begin to develop around the

stitching of the ﬁ lter media. If small holes are locat- ed, clean area around hole with either compressed air or vacuum. Once area is clean, the hole can be repaired with silicone sealant. If no small holes or perforations are found, check rubber seals in the primary ﬁ lter housing assembly and make sure they are all intact.

Generally speaking, with consistent use, the primary

ﬁ lters should be replaced approximately every 6 months. This will maintain good suction levels and reduce incidence of holes developing in the ﬁ lters.

The secondary ﬁ lter should be changed every 12

months. Made from a polyester ﬁ lter media, the sec- ondary ﬁ lters can be washed out with water. Ensure they are fully dry prior to re-installation.

On re-installation of the secondary ﬁ lter, ensure the

seals are ﬁ rmly pressed against the wall of the sec- ondary ﬁ lter housing. This contact can be assessed by looking down through the ﬁ lter link hose coupling.
