I recently purchased a used delta 50-853 which is a two bag 3HP dust collector. I was able to test it at the guys shop but the ceilings were not high enough to allow it to run completely (just a quick pulse to hear it run). I understand that the bags are supposed to be hung by two hangers, but I figured that was just for convenience of not having ~5.5ft tall bags flopping down when the machine isn't on. To my surprise when I turned the machine on without the hangers and the bags kind of just flop around like the inflatable dudes out in front of a car dealership. Is something defective with this collector? Even when I put the bags on the hangers, they aren't taught like every other collector I've used are. They sort of inflate and take the general shape of the bag but still very loose.
There are some small pinholes in the bags but I would expect that the power of a 3HP motor would still be able to inflate the bags. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated!
FYI this is my first post. Let me know how I did
