through the m ounti ng hol es of the extension (L)
and base (K).
2. Place M8 flat washers ( D) and M 8 lock washers
(G) on the ends of the screws (A) and fasten
with M8 hex nuts (F), using 13mm wrenches.
Casters
1. The 3/8” hex nut (H) and M10 lock washer (J)
are pre-assembled to each caster (M). For
shipping purposes, the lock washer has been
placed beneath the hex nut. Remove hex nut
and lock washer from the caster shaf t, re-i nstall
the hex nut, then instal l the lock washer above
the hex nut, as shown.
2. Install the four casters (M) to the undersi de of
the base (K) as follows:
3. Thread the caster shaft into the threaded hole
on the underside of the base (K), turn until
snug. Tighten t he hex nut (H) against t he base
with a 14mm wrench.
Motor and Impeller Assembly
1. Place the base with casters down on the ground.
2. Attach the motor and impeller as s em bly (N) to the base (K) using six M8x20 hex cap screws (A),
and six M10 flat w ashers (E). Hand tighten only
until all screws and washers are in place, then
tighten all six screws with a 13mm wrench.
3. Attach the inlet guard (O) to impeller housing (N)
using eight M6x 12 pan head flange screws (B).
4. Press the inlet port (P) onto the inlet guard (O)
until it snaps into place. Secure in place with
3/16” x 1/2” pan head flange scr ew (C).
To reduce the risk of injury from
moving part s, always keep inlet po rt (P) covered
with the cap s provided, if they are not con nected
to a hose.
Connector Tube and Switch Box
1. Place the lower gasket (Q) on the impeller
housing (N). Line up the rubber pegs on the
gasket (fac e down) with the holes in the housing.
2. Place the connector tube (R) on the impeller housing (N), making sure that the holes of the
mating fl anges are aligned.
Note: Refer to Figure 3 to make sure that the
connector tube is facing the proper direction.
3. Insert an M 8x20 hex cap screw (A), through the
M8 washer (D) and flanges of the connect or tube
(R) and impeller housing (N).
4. Place another washer (D) and a hex nut (F) on
the protruding end of the screw (A) and handtighten only .
5. Mount the control box (S ) to the two holes at the
front of the connec tor tube flange (R).
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining screw
locations, hand t ightening only.
7. Tighten all hex nuts with a 13mm wrench.
Collector Housings
Mount the right collector housing (V) as follows:

pegs on the gasket (T) with the holes in the
housing (V).
2. Place the collector housing (V) on the connector tube (R). Make sure to properly orient the
collector housing – the internal baff le must slope
downwards toward the center .
3. Insert a screw (A) through the washer (D),
connector tube flange (R), and collector-housing
flange (V).
4. Place another washer (D) and a hex nut (F) on
the protruding end of the screw (A) and handtighten.
5. Repeat steps 1 t hrough 4 f or the sev en remaining
screw locations.
6. Tighten all screws and hex nuts with a 13mm
wrench.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the left collector housing (U).
Support Bars
1. Align t he bottom slots of a support bar (W ) wi t h
the holes in t he base (K). Insert two screws (A)
with two flat washers ( D) and hand tighten only.
Note: If you are using the Canister Filter
System, proceed wit h steps 2 through 5 below.
If you are using the Filter Bag System, leave
the support bar (W ) as is, for further assembly
later, and proceed to “Handles”.
2. Ali gn the top holes of the support bar (W) with
the holes at the rear of the collector ho us ing (V)
and insert two screws (A) and two flat w ashers
(D).
3. Place a washer (D) and a hex nut (F) on the
protruding end of each screw (A) inside the
collector housi ng, and hand-tighten only.
4. Adjust the l ower part of the s upport bar (W ) as
needed using it s slots, unti l it is straight. Then
tighten all four screws on the support bar (W).
5. Repeat for the other support bar .
8
Handles
1. Remove the plate (Y) from the handle (X) by
loosening the t wo socket head cap screws (Z)
with a 6mm hex wrench.
2. Install handle (X) to the holes in the collector
housing (U) by inserting the socket head cap
screws through the handle, the collector
housing, and int o the plate on the opposite side.
Tighten the screws.
Note: Make sure the plate (Y) is oriented
properly, as shown in t he Detail in Figure 3: The
protrusions on the pl ate should face away from
the handle.
3. Install the other three handles in like manner.
(Two handles for eac h housi ng.)
Cone Installation
Install the cone assem bly as shown in Figure 3a.
1. Mount the cone support bracket (AA) to the
housing with four M6x12 hex cap screws (FF)
and tighten f r om beneat h with f our M6 hex nuts
(GG).
2. Install the cone (BB) from beneath using the
M8x16 hex cap screw (CC), M8 flat washer
(DD) and M8 hex nut (EE).

Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly ground ed to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
The PM1900TX is equi pped with eit her a single
phase, 230 volt only motor; or a three phase,
230/460V mot or (pre-wired 230V ). Keep i n mind
that a circuit being used by other machines
(tools, li ghts, heaters, et c.) at the sam e tim e will
add to the electrical load. Thus, it is
recommended that the single phase machine
be connected to a dedi cated 40 amp cir cuit, wit h
a 40 amp circuit breaker or fuse. It is
recommended that the three phase machine
be connected to a dedi cated 20 am p circ uit with
a 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.
The three p hase dust coll ector can be re- wired
for 460V operation as follows:
To convert from 230 to 460 volt operat ion:
1. Disconnect fr om power source; unplug!
2. Connect the motor leads as shown in the
diagram i nside the motor junction box; this
diagram is also shown on page 20 of this
manual.
3. Replace the plug on t he power cord with an
appropriate UL/CSA listed 460V plug.
4. W hen finished wiring, re-install junction box
cover.
Grounding Instructions
This machi ne must be grounded. In the ev ent of
a malfuncti on or breakdown, grounding prov ides
a path of l east resistance for elect ric current to
reduce the ri sk of el ectri c shock .
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conduct or. If repai r or replac ement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor t o a
live terminal.
The hose or ductwork you use to connect the
tool to the dust collec tor must also be grounded.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specif ications on the m otor pl ate of
the dust collector.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Extens ion Cords
If an extension cord is needed, make sure the
cord rati ng is suitabl e for t he amper age listed on
the machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting i n loss
of power and overheating.
Use the chart in Fi gure 11 as a general gui de in
choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use
the next heav ier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

Operating the Machine
3 Phase model s: Connect the dust collect or to
the power source, and use the industrial-style
push-button switch to operate the machine.
1 Phase models: If power is flowing, a green
indicator will light on the face of the control
panel. To oper ate the machi ne, use the butt ons
on the control panel , or use the pr ov i ded rem ote
control. To star t t he dust col lec tor , press t he ON
button. If the remote control is used, ai m it at t he
control panel. The machine will remain running
until the OFF button is pressed. The digital
readout will always display 00 while runni ng.
The remote control operates on two AAA
batteries. The se will need replaci ng peri odically.
12
NOTE: The infrared sen sor on the dust coll ector
has a 120° line-of-sight angle. See Figure 12.
Outside of this angle, the remote control m ay not
be effective.
Cleaning the Filter Bags
Wearing a particle mask or
respirator for protection against fine dust
particles during cleaning is highly
