TRAINING & SAFETY 

All safety rules defined in the above documents, and all owner/employer safety rules,

must be strictly followed when installing and servicing this equipment.

Materials other than standard hand tools that are required to complete tasks are listed

where applicable. The DustBoss should be operated only by personnel who have knowledge

of the equipment and safety and operating procedures. This will prevent mishaps or injury

and will make dust control more efficient.

Operators should have a thorough understanding of the SAFETY procedures as well as

how to operate and handle problems that might occur.

They must know where the manual is located, how to use it for reference, and how touse the checklist prior to starting the DustBoss.

Your company is advised to develop custom training programs for your situations, and all

personnel associated with operating this equipment should receive instruction.

FOLLOW electrical guidelines at all times to avoid injury or death.

BE CERTAIN the “feed” power service and all power switches on the machine are OFF

before connecting or disconnecting the electrical plug. ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN BE FATAL.

BE CERTAIN that the connection to the generator is made by a certified electrician and the

generator in grounded with a grounding rod. ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN BE FATAL.

DO NOT open or work inside an electrical panel with the power source ON or CONNECTED.ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN BE FATAL.

LOOSE CLOTHING SHOULD NOT BE WORN when operating the DustBoss to prevent

entangling in rotating equipment.

ALWAYS STAND OUT OF THE AIRSTREAM when starting, making adjustments, or while the

machine is running. This procedure is to prevent injury from possible flying foreign material.

STAND BEHIND water feeding valve/hydrant to open or close the water valve so that in

case of hose or connector failure, injury may be prevented.

ALWAYS open or close water valves VERY SLOWLY to gradually equalize the line and system

pressure to prevent hose, connector or pressurized system failure. Rapid opening and

closing of water valves releases a tremendous amount of energy and could cause a failurein any part of the total pressurized system or serious personal injury.

NEVER straddle a hose as serious injury could result.

DO NOT attempt to remove ice from fan or screen and DO NOT perform mechanical or

electrical service while the machine is in operation. NEVER run the machine without the

screen and guard in place.

DO NOT shut the water valve off while the booster pump is running.

Towing

The DustBoss units can be towed on a jobsite, however, they can not be towed on the

highway. The tires are for off-road use only. First lock the turn table head into position

using the locking pin.

To tow, simply attach the tow bar to the hitch on the transport equipment. A safety chain

is also recommended. Before moving a machine it is recommended that:

> The wheels are not frozen into the ground and free to rotate.

> The tow bar is locked into the up position on models having this feature.

> The leveling jacks are not frozen into the ground, are cleared from deep snow or mud

and are raised to prevent damage to them during transport.

Before towing a machine downhill, lock the tow bar pivot with the hitch pin provided to

prevent the machine from jack knifing during transport.

Anchoring

Be certain the jacks are firmly anchored to prevent machine movement. The machine must

be level for the oscillator to function properly. Remove the machine from the transport

equipment once you are sure it is secured into position.

Frame & Leveling Jacks

The DB-60 may be equipped with three leveling jacks that are quick and easy to adjust.

The jack has three points of adjustment:

> It is not critical that the unit be perfectly level. The jack is designed with a drop leg that

has five hole positions that are adjusted by pulling the pin and lowering or raising theleg to the desired height.

> The jack also has five tabs welded to the outside of the housing that enables height

adjustment in four positions simply by pulling the attached pin and lowering or raising

the jack to the desired position.

> Lastly, the jack has a telescoping feature that is adjusted up or down by turning the

handle located on the top of the jack.

Rear Axles

The rear axles are adjustable in and out. Extend to full out position for greater stability on

terrain when operating.

GALVANIZED CARRIAGE

Car

The DB-60 enclosure is attached to the frame with a large diameter turntable bearing. The

standard (40˚ oscillat ion) DB-60 is equipped with a friction clutch that enables the user to

adjust the location of the fan and where the mist falls while the oscillator gear motor is running.

However, for the friction clutch to function correctly it needs to be adjusted properly and the

machine must be level.

The friction clutch functions by compressing two discs constructed of a fibrous brake

material (“friction discs”) that apply a compressive force on a metallic drive member.

The drive member is coupled to the oscillator gear motor by a tie rod and two rod ends.

The rotation of the oscillator gear motor exerts a force on the tie rod assembly and drive

member that is held stationary by the friction clutch, causing the enclosure and fan torotate back and forth.

The friction clutch used on the standard (40˚ oscillat ion) DB-60 is shown below:

The torque is adjusted by bending down the ears on the locking washer and tightening

the adjustment nut to 1/2 turn past fingers tight. Depending on the wear to the friction

discs and your specific conditions it may be necessary to tighten the adjustment nut

beyond 1/2 turn beyond fingers tight. However, by overtightening adjustment nut, the

friction clutch will not function properly and maybe damaged. Please contact Dust Control

Technology for further assistance with friction clutch adjustment, if necessary.

All DB-60 carriage models are equipped with a transport lock to prevent the rotation or

movement of the enclosure and fan during transport. The transport lock should always be

used to move the machine to prevent a sudden weight shift from a rapid rotation of the

enclosure and fan and to prevent damage to the friction clutch.

VERTICAL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT 

The DB-60 is equipped with an easy-to-use head vertical adjustment jack. Crank the handle

to raise and lower the head angle. Varying the head angle can change the hang time of

the plume and provide better dust control, based on the conditions.

40˚ OSCILLATOR (STANDARD)

359˚ PROGRAMMABLE OSCILLATOR (OPTIONAL)

> Defining the Range of Oscillation (DEGREES)

The standard DB-60 is equipped with an oscillator to rotate the fan head back

and forth approximately 40˚ to allow for increased dust control. Units are also

available with optional 359˚ oscillation. The oscillator is engaged by simply

disengaging the transport locking pin and pushing the on/off button located

on the control panel.

Units equipped with optional increased oscillation (up to 359˚) also have an oscillation control

knob on the control panel that can be programmed to the desired range of oscillation.

1 Rotate the machine to one end of the desired range of oscillation by using the left/right

selector switch.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTES

 

Machine will not oscillate: One“set” was pushed without the second “set” within

5 minutes. Repeat steps 1–5 above.>

> Oscillation range / position has changed: Machine was rotated manually using lever.

Repeat steps 1–5 above.

> Be certain to check that the machines can swing without interference to the unit.

> The carriage must be level and the friction clutch adjusted properly for the oscillator

to function as intended.

> During set-up, the hose and cord should be looped with extra slack to allow for the

rotation of the enclosure and fan barrel when the oscillator is engaged.

> The ducted fan can be rotated during operation to a different direction by simply turning

the enclosure. Dust Control Technology’s unique friction clutch allows this to occur

while the oscillator gear motor is engaged.

REMINDERS

DO’s

DON’Ts

REMEMBER’s

DO have a training seminar before you or your crew ever start to use the DustBoss.

Familiarity with the unit and its procedures could prevent a mishap or injury, and should

make dust control more efficient.

DO let vehicle operators know where and how the machines are placed so they can avoid

running over the cords, hoses and DustBoss plume area.

DO exercise caution and care when moving the DustBoss. THE LOCKING PIN ON THE

OSCILLATOR SHOULD BE ENGAGED WHEN MOVING THE UNIT AND DISENGAGED

WHEN IN USE.

DO check the machine frequently to determine if problems are developing that could

cause an emergency.

DO be sure to drain the machine at time of shutdown.

DO move the unit when the power source is off and the cord and hoses are disconnected.

DO keep good records of your activities. It can help you in the future. Examples include:

temperature, relative humidity, water flow rate, machine location, number of machines, etc.

DO plan the misting activities. Having a map of the area with a preset plan of action is a

good idea. Allow for changes according to various atmospheric changes and plan ahead,

setting up a timetable/schedule of where and when. Also consider how many people will

be available to monitor machine operation.

DO follow the instructions in this booklet, especially the daily checks and safety reminders.

DON’T trailer the DustBoss on the highway. The unit’s wheels are intended for off-road

use only.

DON’T connect or disconnect the unit from the electrical source while the power supply is on.

DON’T leave hoses or cords unprotected. They could be run over by vehicles and be

damaged or personnel could be injured.

DON’T straddle hoses.

DON’T stand in front of hydrants/valves or misting equipment while opening hydrants or valves.

DON’T turn off the valve with the booster pump running.

REMEMBER not to get in direct line of the DustBoss’s air stream. Debris could be thrown

by the fan and cause injury.

REMEMBER to raise the jacks on your machine when moving it.
