Afterfilter Fluidizing Plate Replacement
1. See Figure 7-4. Block up the plenum (1) so the flanges will not bend
when you start removing the C-clamps (3).
2. Loosen the C-clamp screws enough to clear the U-gasket (2). Remove
the C-clamps.
3. Remove the plenum and the fluidizing plate (4) and U-gasket from under
the feed hopper. Remove the U-gasket from the fluidizing plate and
inspect it. If it is not damaged, worn, or cracked, it can be re-used.
4. Clean the plenum interior, and the plenum and feed hopper flanges.
5. Install the U-gasket on the new fluidizing plate, then position the new
fluidizing plate and gasket on the plenum.
6. Slide the plenum and fluidizing plate under the hopper. Align the edges
of the feed hopper flange, gasket, and plenum flange evenly on all
sides. Block the plenum to hold it in position.
7. Install the C-clamps over the plenum and hopper flanges. Tighten the
C-clamp screws with a torque wrench to 2.8 NSm (25 in.-lb) in a
criss-cross pattern. This prevents flange distortion and fluidizing plate
damage.
