Stationary Model. No special foundation is required. A level concrete floor or pad is recommended, although any other substantial floor is satisfactory. The Industravac base should be placed on rubber isomode pads furnished with the unit. In selecting an installation site for a stationary Industravac model, be sure the unit is readily accessible for servicing by allowing several feet of clearance around the machine.

IV. Operation and Adjustments NOTE: An Industravac vacuum cleaning system consists of the Industravac unit and its associated components. The vacuum producer is designed for operation under load, hence it must always be connected directly to hose and tools or to a tubing system with hose and tools. Machine startup 1. Turn the Industravac unit on, having fully completed the previous setup procedures. 2. (For units equipped with discharge air gate.
Circled items are recommended spare parts Exhaust Outlet 6 1 Motor 5 2 Casing 4 1 7 3 2 3 Division Head Packing 8 4 Division Head (not available as separate item) 9 5 Rope Packing for Deflector 6 End Head Bolts 7 End Head 8 Deflectors (A, B, etc.) 9 Impellers (A, B, etc.
Balancing (For Series V see Form ZZ) Turn the machine on with inlet blocked to check balance. If there is excess vibration due to an unbalanced condition after reassemble, use the following balancing procedure: 1. Mark the position of the end impeller hub on the shaft. 2. Loosen the bolts or screws holding the impeller on the shaft. Changing Filter Bags Keep a set of spare filter bags in reserve at all times.
Replacing the Target Plate The target plate, Patent No. 4,874,410, at the bottom of the separator is able to absorb a great deal of impact and abrasion damage as it diverts solid litter into the dirt can. Because it will eventually wear out, provisions have been made for easy replacement: 1. Lower the dirt can and wheel it out of the way. 2. Swing the target plate to a horizontal position and release it from its supporting hooks. 3. Reverse the procedure in Step 2 to install a new plate. 5.
VI. Troubleshooting Guide - Vacuum Producer PROBLEM Possible Cause Corrective Action INSUFFICIENT AIR THROUGH SYSTEM Indication: low vacuum as determined by gauge measurement • Incorrect rotation. Change motor leads to correct rotation. • Incorrect reassembly of machine after customer repairs. Following instructions on pages 7-8, disassemble machine and reassemble correctly. • Tubing too small, causing excessive friction loss. Increase tubing size or install machine providing higher vacuum.
VI. Troubleshooting Guide - Vacuum Producer (cont.) PROBLEM Possible Cause Corrective Action MACHINE VIBRATING • Material buildup on impellers. Clean impellers, check filter bags for holes. • Shaft bent (.001" max. runout per 10' of length). Straighten shaft. • Bearing failure. Replace bearing(s). • Faulty replacement motor installed. Replace with correct motor. • Motor imbalance. Disassemble machine, balance motor. • Machine reassembled incorrectly.
