dust collector from the crate.

representative.
6. Remove the upper crating material from the base skid. Remove lag
screws, strapping, etc., that attach the equipment to the skid.
3.2 Site Selection and Unit Location
1. The preferred and sometimes required location for a dust collector is
outdoors if there is a potential for fire or explosion.
2. The
Cyclone should be located with consideration for maintenance,
inspection, shortest possible run for duct and electrical work and
access for emptying dust receptacle (drum, bin or hopper).
3. When hazardous conditions or materials are present, consult with local
authorities for the proper location of the collector.
4. If unit is installed indoors and has an explosion vent, then provision
must be made to duct the explosion vent to outside of building, away
from normally occupied areas.
5. Prepare the concrete pad in the selected location. Anchor bolts should
be a minimum of 5/8” diameter, with 5” embedment. The pad design
and anchor bolt system should be calculated by a structural engineer.
