Site Planning
Site planning is an important step to maximize the effectiveness of the double air filter. Air circulation must be thought out and all obstructions in the air path considered.
The G9956 Double Air Filter is supplied with a pair of directional vents which allows the user to direct the flow of circulation. However, while the
vents will optimize a good layout, as in Figure 3, they will have a limited effect when the double
air filter is placed incorrectly in the room as in Figure 4. When placed too close to obstruc- tions, the velocity of the air is lost and circulation

is diminished. The following is a list of things to keep in mind when determining the placement of the air filter:
•Study your shop layout to determine the best location for the double air filter. Air flow that is obstructed will cause a short cycle effect pro- ducing unsatisfactory results. There must be a clearance of at least 12" from any obstruc- tions in front and back of the unit.
•Place the air filter in front of high dust produc- ers like sanders or near areas where sanding will take place.
•Do not place the double air filter in the path of garage doors or where it may impede trans- port or movement of any other object.
•Place the unit in a location that provides easy access to turn on, clean and maintain.
