SYSTEM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
System Assembly
The following is a typical system set up procedure for use with the hopper arrangement.
1. Select the appropriate location for the hopper and place it on solid level ground. Ideally the hopper should be about 6' (2m) from the excavation. Check the wheels if necessary to stabilize the hopper. (Figure 11)
2. Install the vacuum pump so that it points away from persons in the area. Be sure that an exhaust bag is securely installed. Secure pump with elastic hold down. (Inset) Check all neoprene sealing surfaces (upper lid, lower door) for snug fit. Damaged seals or improper attachment will rob system performance. (Figure 12)
3. Connect the hand operated compressed air control valve assembly to the vacuum generator. Attach hand tight only. (Figure 13)
4. Attach the 4' material pickup hose and SDR35. Remember to use the tapered bushing to connect the hose to the gulper tube. The straight bushing is used to connect hose to the hopper. (Figure 14)
