Cleaning the main cartridge
Fig. 6-10 Cleaning the main cartridge
Clean the main cartridge if there is minimal dirt. Replace the main cartridge if
there is a lot of dirt.
The main cartridge can be cleaned up to 5 times if necessary. It must be
replaced once it reaches its maximum service life of two years, at the latest.
Record the number of cleaning operations.
For cleaning, a pipe with the end bent at 90° should be attached to the
compressed-air pistol. The pipe must be long enough to reach the base of the
cartridge. Blow out the main cartridge from the inside to the outside with dry
compressed air (max. 5 bar) by moving the tube up and down in the cartridge
and continue until no more dust escapes.
Inspect the cleaned main cartridge for damage to the paper bellows and
rubber seals. Tears and perforations in the paper bellows can be determined
using a flashlight.
