Model W1687 (For Machines Mfg. Since 9/11) OPERATIONS General The Model W1687 can be operated as either a stationary or a mobile unit. There are advantages and disadvantages to both set-ups. The advantage of the mobile system is eliminating the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the stationary system is more versatile and convenient.
Model W1687 (For Machines Mfg. Since 9/11) Outlet.Flap Outlet Flap If one dust collection bag fills faster than the other, adjust the metal flap on the inside of the outlet, as shown in Figure.21. Pushing the flap to one side or the other diverts the airflow and equalizes the rate the bags fill with dust.

Model W1687 (For Machines Mfg. Since 9/11) Metal.Duct Advantages of metal duct is its conductivity, efficiency, and that it does not contribute to static electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are still produced when dust particles strike other dust particles as they move through the duct.
