DUSTER 3000 Downdraft - mobile air recycling vacuum device 3 CONGRATULATIONS Thank you very much for purchasing the Duster 3000 Downdraft mobile air recycling vacuum device. If you follow the instructions the device will provide years of trouble-free operation. If you do however encounter any difficulties with the device, please contact the manufacturer directly on (800) 661-6211 and speak to the customer service department. Product overview The Duster 3000 Downdraft mobile air recycling vacuum device (with a limited field of operation) is the ultimate, original, light, economic, efficient and cost-effective workshop device. It has been developed to enhance the safety of bodywork and painting operations. The Duster 3000 Downdraft generates throughput of over 3,000 CFM (85,000 l/min) with a 11/3 HP explosion-proof motor and protected cabling. Operating voltage 220 V alternating current, current consumption 6.5 A. The space requirements are only 32“ x 30“(81 x 76 cm). It is sufficiently powerful to recycle air over a floor area of up to 460 square meters and therefore provides the mechanics with clean air within their work area. With noise emissions of only 67 dB the device is extremely quiet. The mobile air recycling vacuum device is delivered in pre-assembled form and it is fitted with standard filters for the first year of operation so it is ready for immediate use. Activated carbon filters ranging from 1.4 kg to 3.2 kg in weight are included for the painting of limited areas and these absorb VOCs, toxic vapors and unpleasant odors. The standard intake filters can be cleaned and are designed to have an operating life of up to 6 months. The intake filters trap particulate matter of 5 microns or more in size, including isocyanates which are released during sanding or painting of door pillars/sills, recesses or other parts. The Viledon pocket filter absorbs particles of 3 microns or more in size which are invisible to the naked eye, and it lasts for up to a year. For safety reasons the device is fitted with an explosion-proof motor and a thermal circuit breaker to prevent overheating. There is a digital LED airflow display on the front panel of the device which shows the rate of air flow in CFM (cubic feet per minute) and also indicates when the intake filters need cleaning. This airflow monitoring device is pre-set by the manufacturer, and it incorporates a yellow warning light which flashes if the device is not operating within its operational tolerances and the filters require urgent checking or cleaning. The Duster 3000 Downdraft is patented (US patent no. 5312465). It is manufactured in Canada and is certified according to CSA standards (UL-certified). The device can also be electrically set up according to CE and other electrical technical standards. Guarantee Our guarantee ensures your satisfaction. If within the first five (5) days of receiving the product you are not entirely happy with your purchase, simply return the device to ICA in its original packaging. You will then receive a full refund less the shipping costs. www.mpsmicropaint.com
4 DUSTER 3000 Downdraft - mobile air recycling vacuum device INTENDED USE OF THE DUSTER 3000 The Duster 3000 Downdraft device is intended for the following uses in vehicle repair workshops: 1. Keeps the air which the mechanic is breathing in free of harmful dust during sanding of paints and fillers. The fabric surface is installed above the working area so that the downwards airflow sucks the dust away from the mechanic and towards the filters at the base of the device. 2. This simultaneously prevents the dust being directed towards other people, and the workshop and spray booth filters are kept clean. The use of the optional activated carbon filters enables the organic particles (VOCs), as well as the toxic vapors and unpleasant odors which are present in workshops during the painting of door sills/pillars and recesses and other vehicle body parts, to be greatly reduced. The effectiveness of the device in trapping harmful particles is 93-94% up to a particle size of 3 microns, and 27% up to a particle size of 1 micron. (This is an integral part of the fire protection and safety test report.) 3. If the device is continuously operated in the workshop it keeps the air in the work area largely dust-free all day long. All-day operation of this device is not only economic, due to the recycling and cleaning of the air in the workshop it also ensures that harmful elements are no longer emitted into the external environment. 4. It is also convenient to use in cases where painting works are to be carried out on a vehicle which is being kept in a special device for repair and consequently cannot be brought into the spray booth. This avoids the paint spray spreading throughout the entire workshop. NFPA rule 33, section 14.3.2 applies to the painting of such surfaces (according to the volume of paint). 5. Dust/paint spray filter elements with a pleated structure trap all combustible particles of 5 microns or more in size when they enter the interior of the device where the motor is located. This eliminates any fire hazard. * This device has undergone fire safety and general safety testing. It has an explosion-proof motor with thermal protection and protected electrical cabling. In addition, it is fitted with a thermal circuit breaker which switches it off in the event of it overheating. It is not intended to be used as a substitute for a spray booth. The devices’ air filtration system is CSA- certified, and they have been undergone rigorous explosion and fire hazard testing. Thanks to these characteristics the Duster 3000 Downdraft is used throughout the world. It has been in use for 12 years in North America as well as in other countries, such as England, France and Japan. It has been licensed in the areas of the USA where the most stringent environmental requirements apply, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is also used by the U.S. Air Force and at General Motors and the US postal service‘s maintenance facilities as well as at numerous vocational colleges for auto body mechanics in North America. *Fire protection test report and other tests for the NFPA submitted on 18th October 2000.

6 DUSTER 3000 Downdraft - mobile air recycling vacuum device SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The Duster 3000 Downdraft is made of incombustible materials, including its explosion-proof motor, protected cabling, and protected control systems. The intake duct and the PVC struts are made of non- conductive materials in order to exclude any possibility of external electrical damage. According to the NFPA 33 rules, certain workplaces in the workshop are permitted for carrying out specific tasks if the rules are complied with. According to Article 14.3.2 painting with up to 3.8 liters of paint is permitted outside of a spray booth within an eight- (8) hour shift. Always look up the locally applicable rules. When sanding or painting, operators must wear class D compressed air respirators or corresponding approved respirators. Disconnect the device from the mains before undertaking maintenance on it, especially before cleaning the intake filters. Never clean the filters while the device is operating. Clean the inside of the device once a year and use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust deposits from the motor, the blower, and the area above the blower (working from above under the pocket filter by releasing the four clips). When operating the device always maintain a distance of at least 6 meters from power sockets and lighting equipment. Keep the intake duct away from heat sources, direct sunlight, or ceiling ventilators so as to prevent any damage being caused. IMPORTANT: In order to ensure the trouble-free operation of the device and to avoid invalidating the guarantee, only the filters specified by the manufacturer may be used.

DUSTER 3000 Downdraft - mobile air recycling vacuum device 7 OPERATING TIPS Cleaning of the filters: If you maintain the filters well, the Duster 3000 Downdraft will reward you with years‘ of reliable operation in your workshop. Use only OEM-specified filters. Voltage fluctuations: Fluctuations in mains voltage may lead to the electric motor not starting up properly. Make sure that your power distribution system is not overloaded. The digital airflow monitoring system can also be adversely affected by fluctuations in mains voltage. Do not use any extensions for the mains cable, as doing so may lead to losses of current. Disruption caused by external air flows: Open doors and windows can cause drafts which impede the downward flow of air produced by the device. If this does occur, we recommend screening off the work area with curtains which extend from the ceiling to the floor so that the Duster 3000 Downdraft can operate with maximum efficiency. Sanding tips: If you are sanding polyester filler, place the intake duct directly above the work area; the end of the duct should be partly behind the mechanic so that the dust which is produced is blown downwards into the intake filters. Painting tips: The intake duct must not be placed above the vehicle since its airflow impedes the spray gun‘s airflow. In the case of a car hood/bonnet, the intake duct should, for instance, be on the opposite side. In the case of the sides of the vehicle, it is best to position the intake duct parallel to the vehicle at a distance of about 30 cm from it. Cleaning of the intake duct: Once a year you should blow the topside of the intake duct clear, in particular the black exhaust air diffuser located at the duct elbow: see page 9, section 18. Cleaning of the Lexan sheathe: see page 9, section 2. N.B. Never clean the Lexan sheathe with thinners. Use soapy water and a cloth. www.mpsmicropaint.com

12 DUSTER 3000 Downdraft - mobile air recycling vacuum device CLEANING OF THE FILTERS Weekly cleaning is recommended, but this depends on the amount of use that the device gets. When the yellow warning light flashes, the intake filters have to be cleaned. This is pre-set by the manufacturer to 2400-2500 CFM. The yellow warning light only switches off once the filters have been cleaned. CLEANING OF THE INTAKE FILTERS Cleaning (green dust / paint spray filter elements) 1. Switch device off. 2. Remove elements from the intake filter frames and from the device. 3. Vacuum with vacuum cleaner or blow clean with compressed air. 4. Put them back into the intake filters. Cleaning (pleated intake filters) 1. Switch device off. 2. Remove intake filters and dust filter elements from the device. 3. Clean using vacuum cleaner – only the front (the side facing away from the device). 4. Occasionally remove the intake filters and blow the pleated filters clear, in order to remove particles which have not been able to be vacuumed off. The filters can also be pressure-washed every 3 months (maximum pressure 400 psi = 27 bar). Tip: If the dust filter elements have been washed, wait for 24 hours before refitting them. 5. Put the dust filter elements back into the clean intake filters. 6. Put the dust filters back into the device. Viledon pocket filter 1. This filter CANNOT BE CLEANED – it is used for low-level collection and has a service life of 1 year. 2. Check whether the Viledon pocket filter needs to be changed. a. Go to the front of the device. b. Remove all the filters on the left-hand side of the device (looking towards the front). c. If the value shown is less than 4,500, the Viledon pocket filter must be changed – with a new filter a value of about 6,000 should be shown. Activated carbon filters (DO NOT CLEAN) 1. Switch the device off. 2. Remove the intake filters in order to lift the carbon filters out of the top of the housing. 3. Shake the filters vigorously up and down in order to realign the carbon granules; this brings fresh granules to the surface. At this point in time you should order new carbon filters. Service life 6-12 months.

16 DUSTER 3000 Downdraft - mobile air recycling vacuum device TROUBLE-SHOOTING Unable to start device: 1. Make sure that the mains cable is connected to a 220 V power socket and is not damaged. 2. Fluctuations in mains voltage may lead to the electric motor not starting up properly. Make sure that your power distribution system is not overloaded. A 15A circuit breaker is required. 3. Do not use any extensions for the mains cable, as doing so could lead to losses of current. 4. The electric motor is fitted with a thermal overload protection device, and it restarts automatically once it has cooled down. Problems with the digital airflow display: 1. The digital airflow monitoring unit may likewise be adversely affected by fluctuations in mains voltage. 2. Consult the manufacturer or the dealer before resetting it. Filter problems: 1. The most frequent filter problem is the clogging of the intake filters by particles of paint if the green dust / paint spray filter elements are not installed. 2. If there is heavy paint spray or if clear paints are used, double green filter elements must be used in order to trap the highly concentrated particles. 3. If the folds of the Viledon pocket filter are not vertically arranged this may significantly restrict the airflow. See page 13, point 5.
