IX. Filter Maintenance

External Filter Cartridge Cleaning Intervals

When unit is turned off, use compressed air to blow dust off from exterior of filter. Hold nozzle at least 8” away from filter pleats*. Do not remove bottom dust pan before or during the blow-off process! Let dust settle into dust pan. Unclip and dump out dust. Filter removal is not required.

*WARNING: A close, direct blast with the compressed air nozzle too close to filter, may damage filter media. Always wear safety glasses while blowing off filter.

Caution: Fine dust collected in filter is hazardous to your health! Do not breathe!

Fan / Blower & Cyclone Outside Placement

Fan / Blower has a TEFC - Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled motor. Note: Use steel drum when placed outside.

Before Operation:

Shown with optional Angle Iron Stand.

Mount system and connect cyclone and dust bin. Make sure dust bin is in place before turning on the dust collector.

Do not operate Fan / Blower unless Cyclone and Dust Bin are in place! Motor will overheat!

Electrical Wiring:

Make sure power source matches wire voltage configurations on motor.

Prior to connecting to the power line, check motor plate for proper voltage and rotation connection. Wire for counter-clockwise rotation. Fan wheel must rotate counter-clockwise if looking down on fan housing.

Note: If fan is wired incorrectly and fan is rotating backwards, poor suction and airflow will result. See Wire Diagrams on motor plate.

Use 12 gauge cord for the fan / blowers.

Lubrication:

See page 18 for instructions.

Caution: Rotating Fan Blades! Keep objects clear of outlet.
