TRAINING & SAFETY

SAFETY
MATERIALS
REQUIRED

TRAINING

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 to
use 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.

PRECAUTIONS

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 failure
in 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.

PRECAUTIONS

(continued)

DO NOT run over the fire hose that supplies water to the DustBoss. This can cause the

high pressure pump to trip out and shut the unit off. Protect the water supply with boards
on both sides of the hose.

NEVER move the DustBoss until the power service is OFF, and the power cord and hoses
are DISCONNECTED.
DO NOT leave hoses and cords laying around. They can possibly cause injury if run over.
DO NOT use clogged or damaged nozzles. Clogged nozzles cause erratic spray patterns
that decrease efficiency.

MONITOR THE MACHINE frequently to determine if problems are developing that could
cause personal injury, machine damage or unnecessary downtime.

FOR WINTER OPERATION, be cautious of ice, snow, wet, slippery conditions and other
hazards in the area.

NEVER place limbs or other body parts into the fan housing.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE UNUSUAL NOISE OR VIBRATION, shut the machine down immediately
and contact your local representative or Dust Control Technology directly at 800-707-2204
or 309-693-8600. In case of emergency, please call 309-645-3691 anytime, 24/7.

3. Move the DustBoss to a level, stable surface. Connect the DustBoss to both the
power supply and the water supply (see Technical Specifications section for the
electrical and water requirements of your unit).

Your personnel will need to determine the actual machine location, taking into consideration
factors such as wind direction, distance from water hydrant, whether or not the location
is open or closed, etc. Your company should develop procedures for machine positioning
and signage to designate the operating area of the unit.

Positioning of DustBoss

> Remove the power cord a turn at a time, laying it coil upon coil on the ground in
an offset fashion until the appropriate length of cord required has been removed.
The cord should uncoil without tangling as the end is pulled toward the power station.
> After checking to verify that the power station is switched off, connect the plug.
NOTE: If the plug will not go into the receptacle properly, clear away any ice, snow
or other debris. Keep the plug end out of water at all times. Again, be certain the
POWER IS SWITCHED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE PLUG.
> Hoses and power cords should be routed away from the spray plume and out of the
way from any vehicles. Advise vehicle operators of cord and hose locations. Signage
and/or fencing off of the operating area may be appropriate.
> Flush the water hose before attaching the hose to the unit. Open the water
hydrant/valve slowly, then turn off the water and reconnect the hose to the water
inlet on the machine.
> Rotate the head to direct the stream. Take advantage of wind to maximize coverage
and direction. Position the unit at an angle to the working area.

Prescreen filter

> Switching on the oscillating motor will begin the rotation of the unit head.

HANDLING YOUR UNIT

TRANSPORT AND
POSITIONING

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 the
leg 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.

Stabilization Jack

> 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.

MACHINE PIVOTING &

HEAD ADJUSTMENT

GALVANIZED CARRIAGE
Carriage Rotational Pivot and Friction Clutch Adjustment Standard DB-60 (with 40 oscillation) only.
The DB-60 enclosure is attached to the frame with a large diameter turntable bearing. The
standard (40 oscillation) 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 to
rotate back and forth.
The friction clutch used on the standard (40 oscillation) 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.

MACHINE PIVOTING &

HEAD ADJUSTMENT
(continued)

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)
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.
Oscillator Motor

359 PROGRAMMABLE OSCILLATOR (OPTIONAL)

Transport Locking Pin

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.

> Defining the Range of Oscillation (DEGREES)

1 Rotate the machine to one end of the desired range of oscillation by using the left/right
selector switch.
2 Turn selector switch to set and hold for 1/2 second.
3 Run the oscillator to the other end of the desired oscillation range, using the left/right selector.
4 Turn selector to set. This must be done within 5 minutes of the first set.
5 Selector can now be moved to run; machine will oscillate between the set end points.

NOTES
> 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 Technologys unique friction clutch allows this to occur
while the oscillator gear motor is engaged.

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.

DONTs

DONT trailer the DustBoss on the highway. The units wheels are intended for off-road
use only.

DONT connect or disconnect the unit from the electrical source while the power supply is on.
DONT leave hoses or cords unprotected. They could be run over by vehicles and be
damaged or personnel could be injured.
