Filter Pulse Bar Cleaning
e Pulse Filter System helps to unclog the lter for improved
airow and performance. If air ow is not restored aer pulsing,
check for clogs and clean lter. (Review Cleaning the Filter and
Troubleshooting Sections).
1. Pulse your lter regularly—including multiple times per day
when collecting ne dust—or when you notice decreased
airow. Frequent pulse cleaning of the lter will keep your
performance optimal.
2. While the unit is running, close the Blast Gate on the inlet
of the Cyclone. Once closed, push down the Pulse Bar
extending out of the cowling, past the initial resistance, and
hold for a few seconds then release the Pulse Bar. Repeat ve
times.
3. Open Blast Gate to resume normal operation.
Cleaning the Filter
We recommend pulsing the Filter regularly – at minimum
before you start to work and when you are nished for the day. If
performance has decreased and pulsing does not restore airow,
the Filter should be replaced.
1. Wear a dust mask and eye protection.
2. Turn o and unplug the dust collector and wait for the fan
blower to come to a complete stop and for the dust to settle.
3. Unlatch the Ring Clamp (D) at the base of the motor section
and allow it to hang freely. Remove the motor section and
set aside.
4. Use a hand-held, compressed air nozzle with a pressure up
to 90 PSI max to blast air along the lter’s exterior pleating.
Hold the air nozzle at a 20 degree angle and at least 2" away
from the lter; closer blasts will damage the lter material.
Direct air out and away from anyone in the area. Do not
use this method when any hazardous material has been
vacuumed up.
5. Check to make sure lter is in good condition with no
torn media or cracks or tears in the seal. A broken lter
can leak material into the motor and cause severe damage!
You cannot operate the system without a proper lter in
place. (See Accessories page for the replacement lter part.)
Operating without a sucient lter will cause severe damage
to the motor and will void the warranty!
Note: To help see damage from the outside, shine a ashlight
from the inside. If the lter is removed aer it's been in service
for some time, the gasket may no longer return to it's original
thickness. In this case, ensure enough gasket thickness remains
for proper sealing to prevent dust from escaping.
6. If the lter isn't in good condition, remove the Filter (C) by
removing the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (G11) and the Filter
Hold-Down Ring (B) by sliding it over the lter. Dispose of
the old lter in the same way you would dispose of the dust
you’ve been collecting.
7. Center new Filter (C) over the center of the Cyclone (E)
and place the Filter Hold-Down Ring (B) over the Filter (C)
and re-secure using the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (G11.)
Tighten hardware so that the Filter's pre-installed foam
gasket is rmly compressed (by roughly 50%). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
8. Replace the motor section and re-latch the drum clamp
around the motor section.
