Replacing Filter Cartridge – Figures 41 and 42
NO DUST IS SAFE TO BREATHE.
The inhalation of airborne dust can lead to
serious respiratory illness and death, serious
skin or eye irritation, or other health issues.
Always wear approved respiratory protection
when servicing the dust collector, while
handling filter cartridges, and when emptying
the dustbin. Toxicity and health risks vary with
type of media and dust generated by blasting.
The respirator must be approved for the type of
dust generated. Identify all material being
removed by blasting and obtain a safety data
sheet (SDS) for the blast media.

Close the air-supply valve and open the drain to
bleed air from the pulse reservoir.

Refer to Figure 41 and remove the dust-collector
access door:
1. Remove the retaining knob at the bottom of the
door.
2. Swing the bottom of the door away from the dust-
collector access opening.
3. Lift the door off the top support angle.

The filter cartridge is secured with a twist-to-

do not release the cartridge from the mounts at this time.
7.12.4
From the bottom of the filter cartridge, slide a
suitable plastic trash bag over the cartridge to contain dust.

Rotate the cartridge to the right to remove the
lug slots from the rear shoulder screws and tensioning
knob, and then remove the cartridge from the dust-
collector access door.

7.12.6
Tie off or otherwise seal the top of the bag and
dispose of the sealed bag in a suitable disposal
receptacle.
NOTE: Blasting media is usually nontoxic; however,
some materials being removed by the blast process
may be toxic. Obtain SDS sheets for the media and
identify all material removed by the blast process.
Check with proper authorities for disposal restrictions.
7.12.7
Remove accumulated dust or any material from
the cartridge-sealing area on the bottom of the cartridge
plate that may prevent the new cartridge from sealing.
7.12.8
Install the new cartridge through the access
door, raise it to the bottom of the cartridge sheet, align
the two rear lugs slots with the mounting screws, placing
the lugs over the washers, turn the cartridge to the left to
lock it into place, and tighten the tensioning knob to
secure.
7.12.9
Inspect the dust-collector door gasket, a faulty
gasket will cause dust leaks. Replace the gasket if it is
worn, compressed, or otherwise damaged.
7.12.10
Hang the door on the support angle, align the
hole with the mounting stud, and install the knob and
tighten it securely.
