Filter Pulse Bar Cleaning
Internal Rapid Pulse Filter Cleaner™ System helps to
keep the flow continuous and remove the clogging of
the filter. If air flow is not restored, check for clogs
and clean filter. (Review Cleaning the Filter and
Troubleshooting Sections)
1. Clean your filter after every 30 minutes of use -more
often for heavy use. Frequent pulse cleaning of the filter
will keep your performance optimal.
2. While the unit is running, rotate the Inlet Lever upward
to close off the inlet. While continuing to hold the
Inlet Lever upward, quickly push down the Pulse Bar
extending out of the cowling, pass the initial resistance,
and hold for a few seconds then release the Pulse Bar.
3. Dispose of waste safely and properly.
Cleaning the Filter
Proper filter cleaning should not be neglected as a
dirty filter can significantly affect your dust collector’s
performance and the overall lifespan of your filter.
1. WEAR A DUST MASK AND EYE PROTECTION
WHILE CLEANING THE FILTER.
2. Turn off the dust collector and wait for the system’s fan
blower to come to a complete stop.
a. Dust blowing out could indicate that dust was
dropped into motor inlet while taking off filter.
b. Vacuum filter’s outside before removing it to clean.
3. Remove filter from the system. The filter can be easily
cleaned by placing it into a plastic bag lightly tapping the
filter onto the floor. Dirt and debris will fall away from
the filter. For a more thorough cleaning, continue to the
below steps.
4. Use a hand-held, compressed air nozzle with a pressure
between 30 to 60 PSI to blast air along the filter’s exterior
pleating. Hold the air nozzle at a 20 degree angle and at
least 6"away from the filter; closer blasts may damage the
filter material. Direct air out and away from anyone in
the area. Do not use this method when any hazardous
material has been vacuumed up.
5. Check to make sure filter is in good condition with
no torn media or cracks or tears in the seal. A broken
filter can leak material into the motor and cause severe
damage! You cannot operate the Dust Cobra without
a proper filter in place. (See Accessories page for the
replacement filter part.) Operating without a sufficient
filter will cause severe damage to the motor and will void
the warranty!
6. When you replace the filter, it is very important to
carefully install the GORE® CleanStream Pro HEPA
Filter (C) onto the ring and then slip filter retainer strap
(F18) to secure.
