7.9.5.5 Cleaning the main cartridge
Never wash or brush out the main
cartridge.
Make sure that no dust ends up on the
inside of the main cartridge when blowing
out.
• The main cartridge can be cleaned up to five
times if necessary. It must be replaced once it
reaches its maximum service life of two years,
at the latest. The number of times it is cleaned
must be marked.
• For cleaning (46/1), a pipe the end of which is
bent at 90° should be attached to a
compressed-air pistol. It must be sufficiently
long to reach the floor of the cartridge. Blow
out the main cartridge from the inside to the
outside with dry compressed air (max. 72.5 psi)
by moving the pipe up and down in the
cartridge and continue until no more dust
escapes.
• Check the clean main cartridge for damage to
the paper bellows and rubber seals (46/2).
Tears and perforations in the paper bellows
can be determined using a torch.
Never continue to use damaged main
cartridges. If in doubt, use a new one.
