Cleaning the Vacuum Receiver
The vacuum receiver should be cleaned anytime you change materials. Replace the
screen mesh filter if it is torn, damaged, distorted or so clogged with material that
it cannot be cleaned.
1 Turn off switch to stop conveying. Disconnect the air and material hoses
from the vacuum receiver.
2 Open the vacuum receiver lid. Turn the latch counterclockwise and flip
the lid open.
3 Remove and clean the mesh filter. Lift the mesh filter out of the vacuum
receiver. Clean or replace as necessary.
4 Loosen the 3 thumbscrews, slide the clips aside, and lift the vacuum
receiver body from the viewing chamber. Clean inside the vacuum receiver
body with a clean rag.
5 Remove and clean the viewing chamber. Lift the viewing chamber to release
it from the mounting bracket. Clean inside with a clean rag.
6 Reassemble the vacuum receiver. Make sure the viewing chamber and loader
body seat snugly inside the O-ring couplings.
