DUSTHOG PNP Series

3. Installation

3.1 Inspection and Off Loading

As soon as your equipment arrives, carefully inspect the items to ensure they are in good condition and 
that all items listed on the packing list have been received. Even though the items are carefully loaded 
and tied down at the time of shipment, it is possible for them to be damaged in transit. 

Report any damage(s) and/or shortage(s) immediately. It becomes increasingly difficult for either the 
carrier or the supplier to assume responsibility for any damages after too much time has transpired. 
Check all loads separately. 

The following steps should be taken immediately upon receipt of your shipment, which will assure and 
expedite claim payments and replacement of missing or damaged items.

1.  Begin your inspection of the shipment BEFORE it is unloaded.
2.  Check for damage to any exposed items, particularly at the tie-down locations.
3.  Photograph any damage. Do this BEFORE the equipment is unloaded.
4.  Check Bill of Lading quantities and description. Note any discrepancies on all copies of the Bill of 

Lading and have them acknowledged (the carrier should sign). Damage description should also be 
written directly on, or attached to, the Bill of Lading, and should also be signed by the driver.

Contact the insurance company and the shipper at once so that damages and/or shortages can be 
corrected and a claim can be filed without delay.

TIP OVER HAZARD

Lift the PNP unit and components by the packing skids or on the lifting eyes located on the top of the 
unit in each corner.

3.2  Installation, Preparation, and Planning

Prior to the actual installation of the PNP, the location should be readied. This would include having an 
adequate laydown area for all components, and access for the crane, forklifts and other machinery.  
The unit will come mostly pre-assembled. The majority of installation will be ducting, mounting, or 
securing the unit. An electrical source, lighting and other equipment should be readily available to aid in 
the installation.

In most cases engineering drawings of your specific equipment and options will be provided. These 
and all available documentation for your system should be thoroughly reviewed prior to beginning any 
installation work. This includes the unit and electrical controls. Ensure to leave an appropriate amount 
of room around your unit to allow for maintenance and servicing. A minimum of 2-1/2 feet (0.76 m) 
of clearance is recommended for service in front of the filter access door and 3 feet (1 m) for the rear 
electrical access per NEC.

Ensure there is adequate access to the electrical components with ducting installed.

Ensure to position the unit so that the clean air discharge is directed into an open area free of 
obstructions and with consideration for personnel safety.
