5.9 Filtering System
This unit is equipped with a three-stage filtering system. It consists of a cyclonic separator (first
stage), a main cartridge filter (second stage), and a HEPA rated after filter (third stage). These
system filters enhance performance and extend the life of the rotary air blower, as well as help to
protect workers from exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica per OSHA standards.
Proper maintenance of these filter systems is required to maintain system performance and extend
the system’s life.
CAUTION
Shutdown machine prior to servicing the filters and any other components of the machine.
Cyclonic Separator
The cyclonic separator is located at the rear of the unit and includes a debris storage bucket, and a
bucket support cage. The cyclonic separator pre-filters the dust stream by spinning the larger,
heavier dust particles out of the air steam, thereby increasing the run time for the main cartridge
filter.
Step
Action
1
Insert the bucket support cage into the debris storage bucket. A heavy-duty plastic
bucket liner can be inserted into the bucket, with the support cage inserted into the
plastic liner, for easier disposal of the collected dust. Secure the debris storage
bucket to the cyclone with the lever lock ring. See
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the machine without the bucket support cage inserted inside of the
debris storage bucket. Damage to the bucket will occur.
2
When beginning a vacuuming operation, check the debris storage bucket frequently
to gauge the distance that can be vacuumed before the debris storage bucket will
need to be emptied. The debris storage bucket will need to be emptied at
approximately 3/4 to 7/8 full.
CAUTION
If the debris storage bucket becomes overfilled, an excessive amount of debris will
remain in the air stream and will be deposited into the main filter housing, reducing
the run time of the machine before the filter would have needed to be serviced.
3
To empty the debris storage bucket, shutdown the blower engine.
WARNING
A dust mask must be worn when emptying the debris storage bucket.
4
Disengage the lever lock ring and separate the bucket from the cyclone.
5
Using the handle of the bucket, remove the debris storage bucket from the machine.
Remove the support cage from the bucket using the provided handles.
