5-2 Cleaning the Conveying Filter

WARNING! Disconnect power air sources. Always disconnect the main power source and compressed air source before removing the filter. This prevents the loader from starting during servicing, which could cause injury from flying debris.

Caution!

Wear eye protection. We recommend that you use vacuum air

 

for cleaning filters and other parts of this equipment. If you use

 

compressed air to clean the equipment, you must wear eye

 

protection and observe all OSHA and other safety regulations

 

pertaining to the use of compressed air.

The filter module atop the SVL loader must be cleaned periodically to assure that compressed air evacuation from the loader is efficient. If this filter becomes clogged the conveying air will seek an alternate escape route, possibly forcing its way out through crevices in the receiving hopper or elsewhere. Loading performance could be hampered by the resistance that the filter gives to air (and material) flow.

1.Remove the filter. The filter module is friction fitted to the top of the loader body and may be easily removed by hand, without tools.

2.Inspect the filter carefully. Depending upon the material that was conveyed, the filter may only require a brief wipe-out of the inside to remove residual material fines and dust. Always check for holes that could allow the passage of fines or dust to the loader motor. Replace the filter if it is damaged, excessively worn or too clogged with material dust. Do not attempt to repair a damaged filter. Replace the entire filter if the rubber seal is damaged or excessively worn.

3.Clean the filter. For dusty material or color changes, the filter should be wiped out and then vacuumed. We recommend that you vacuum the filter surfaces. If you use compressed air, you must wear eye protection and follow all safety regulations pertaining to cleaning equipment with compressed air. Do not attempt to repair a damaged filter.

Caution!

A SVL filter that is worn to the extent that it does not provide a

 

good seal around the base may not grip the top of the loader

 

sufficiently and could fall off during use. This is a hazard to

 

those below/near the loader. The filter should be replaced so

 

that a good, secure fit is achieved each time the filter is installed

 

on the loader.
