Branch pipe connections from the vacuum header tothe air Valves on the pressing machines should 6e no less than 2" in szo, 'SEE FIG. IV FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION. For best results, connect branch to header with a'Y fiting, See ilustration, page 8, Fig. V.

READ ‘THEM CAREFULLY. Koop instructions handy for future reterence. MOTORS SHOULD BE CONNECTED BY AN EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN. An ‘approved starting switch with heater protection MUIST be used, Do not oper- ate the vacuum unit before piping connections have been completed. It's ‘characteris of the exhauster (turbine) to be uncer heaviest load when inlet {nd outlet are wide open. This is likely to overload and burn out the motor. However, iit Is necessary to test the machine, close ofthe inet by means of {cover or board placed over inlet opaning. MOTOR HEAT: Excessive motor temperature is caused by improper wiring and by overioading. Follow wiring {guide on motor nameplate wien connecting the motor. Keep dust and lint ‘Sut of motor - clean frequently. NOTE: When changing motor for voltage in single phase motors, BE ‘SURE TO CHECK ROTATION after making the change. NOTE: Single phase motors have thermal protection - either manual or ‘automatic reset 2s indicated. ‘GROUND INSTRUCTIONS: This product should be connected to a ‘rounded, metalie, permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding terminal Lubrication Grease motor bearings, top and bot tom, onee every 6-8 months.
