7 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
NOTE: A loose or unsecured bag will allow product to pass through the filter separator and will
plug the in-line filter.
The filter bags should be shaken at least daily, preferably after each use. To shake filter bags, simply
open the bag house door and shake the filter assembly arm swiftly back and forth. This rapid movement
will dislodge particles on the inside of the filter bag surfaces and drop them into the dust can.
NOTE: The unit must be OFF in order to shake the filters.
NOTE : If the filters are to be replaced, please replace them ALL at once, or they will be a constant
source of frustration.
Filter Bag Maintenance
The following is a recommended program of preventative maintenance:
1. Check that the filters are seated properly and that they do not appear to be leaking WEEKLY.
There should be NO appreciable or visible dust inside the service access door.
2. Replace ALL the filters if wear points or holes are noticed
3. If the secondary filter cartridge becomes plugged rapidly, check for holes in the primary filter
bags, or upgrade the primary filter material to a more efficient type
4. Replace the secondary filter cartridge when the manometer reads higher than 12” WG
Removing Filter Bags
To change the filter bags, remove each bag from the filter shaker assembly inside the tank at the top.
Squeeze the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag compressing the snap ring into a “U” shape, and remove
from the bag plate hole.
Installing New Filter Bags
Attach the grommet in the bag with bolts on the filter shaker assembly inside the tank at the top.
Grasp the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag and compress into a “U” shape. Insert into the proper hole
in the bag plate, and release the bag bottom, assuring the “groove” in the bag cuff is centered in the bag
plate hole.
After installing all the filters, check the installation from below; all the filters should be neatly and evenly
seated.
WARNING: Failure to assure proper seating of the bag in the bag plate will allow material leakage.
