Cautions: All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable National, State, and local electrical code. MicroAir does not determine what is acceptable in any local jurisdiction and cannot be held responsible for wiring that does not meet local codes. Avoid mixing combustible materials, such as buffing lint, paper, wood, aluminum, and magnesium dust, and with dust generated from grinding ferrous metals due to the potential fire hazard caused by sparks in the dust collector.

instructions. 6. Reassemble the electrical box cover onto the enclosure. 4. If motor rotation is in the proper direction then AMP draw of the motor should be checked. Correct motor AMP draw information is located on the inside of the Electrical Box Cover. If motor current is higher than rated for the motor supplied, do not continue operation. Re-check your wiring (refer to the inside of the electrical box cover) and if problems continue contact your Micro-Air Dust Collector representative for instructions.
