The motor manufacturer will guarantee the motor only if the voltage is within 10% of the rating. Use appropriate safety device such as a magnetic starter with overload heaters.
4.0 START UP PROCEDURE CHECK LIST 1. Check all electrical screw terminals for tightness. 2. Confirm that line voltage matches motor name plate. 3. Start & stop fan motor. Is motor rotation in direction of arrow? 4. Start fan. Is drum cover and flex or hopper slide gate air tight? (A slight leak in this area will push dust up through the cyclone and out the fan discharge to atmosphere or filter bags.) 5.
5.0 MAINTENANCE 5.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Daily or Weekly- Inspect the dust level in the 55 gallon drum(s) or other dust storage container. Do not over fill. Empty as necessary. Monthly- Inspect the fan exhaust for excessive emissions. Inspect the flexible hose and drum cover, etc, to make sure they are airtight. Every 6 Months- Lubricate shaft bearings, if a belt drive unit. Every 12 Months- Lubricate motor. 5.2 UNIT SPECIFIC CYD & CYA series.
Shaft Bearings- Belt drive models (20HP and larger) have shaft bearings. Lubricate every 6 months or 1,500 hours, whichever comes first with .25.50 oz of grease.
