Cleaning the Dust Collector

The dust collector filters dust and fines from the air used to convey material. The filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain conveying air flow and optimum performance of the conveying blower.

1 Turn off the conveying system by setting the load time to zero (See

Page 4-6, Screen 9).

2 Remove the dust collector lid.

Loosen the knob at the base of the lid.

3 Empty fines and dust that have

collected in the lid.

4	Remove the conveying filter. Loosen the retaining
	nut.
5	Inspect and clean the filter. If the filter is torn or	4
	has holes in it, replace it. If you use compressed air
	to clean the filter, be sure to blow from the inside
	out.
6	Clean the inside of the dust collector housing.
	You can use a vacuum, or wipe the inside with a	2
	clean rag.

7Reassemble the dust collector. Place the filter back in the housing, making sure the threaded rod

extends through the center. Tighten the retaining nut on the rod. Put the lid back onto the housing and tighten the knob.

✒ TIP: You can easily remove the dust collector so that it can be replaced with a spare clean one, or taken to a remote location for cleaning.

To remove:

Disconnect the hoses and lift the dust collector from its mounting bracket.
