4-3 Making Startup Checks
Before operating the VacTrac or any other part of the conveying
system, check these details:
; All components in the system must be installed securely and
prepared for operation. Refer to the instructions supplied with
auxiliary equipment for specific checks.
; Couplers, fittings, attachments, and flexible lines must be
attached securely and be vacuum-tight.
; Electrical and compressed air connections to the pump
package, vacuum hoppers, and filter chambers must be
complete, safe, and conform to code.
; The pump package blower gearbox must be filled with oil as
specified in the manufacturer’s instructions included in the
customer information package.
!
CAUTION
Do not overfill the blower gearbox with oil; too much oil damages the blower.
; If not done already, remove the plastic plug from the silencer
air outlet.
!
WARNING
Keep hands away from the open air inlet to
avoid injury!
; Do not allow any loose parts, tools, or foreign materials in or
near the unit and other system components.
; Check for proper motor rotation, as indicated by an arrow on
the pump package motor. Bump-start the pump package with
the compressed air disconnected just long enough to verify
proper rotation direction.
