Filter Pulse Bar Cleaning

The Pulse Filter System helps to unclog the filter for 

improved airflow and performance.  If air flow is not 

restored after pulsing, check for clogs and clean filter. 

(Review Cleaning the Filter and Troubleshooting Sections).

1.  Pulse your filter regularly—including multiple times per day 

when collecting fine dust—or when you  notice decreased 

airflow. Frequent pulse cleaning of the filter will keep your 

performance optimal.

2. While the unit is running, close the Blast Gate on the inlet 

of the Cyclone. Once closed, push down the Pulse Bar 

extending out of the cowling, past the initial resistance, and 

hold for a few seconds then release the Pulse Bar. Repeat five 

times. 

3. Open Blast Gate to resume normal operation. 

Cleaning the Filter

When performance has decreased and pulsing has not 

recovered enough airflow then the Filter should be 

replaced.

1. Wear a dust mask and eye protection.
2. Turn off and unplug the dust collector and wait for the fan 

blower to come to a complete stop and for the dust to settle.

3.  Unlatch the Ring Clamp (D) at the base of the motor section 

and allow it to hang freely. Remove the motor section and 

set aside.  

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 will 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 system 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! 

Note: To help see damage from the outside, shine a flashlight 

from the inside. If the filter is removed after it's been in service 

for some time, the gasket may no longer return to it's original 

thickness. In this case, ensure enough gasket thickness remains 

for proper sealing to prevent dust from escaping.

6.  If the filter isn't in good condition, remove the Filter (C) by 

removing the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (G11) and the Filter 

Hold-Down Ring (B) by sliding it over the filter. Dispose of 

the old filter in the same way you would dispose of the dust 

you’ve been collecting. 

7.  Center new Filter (C) over the center of the Cyclone (E)

and place the Filter Hold-Down Ring (B) over the Filter (C) 

and re-secure using the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (G11.) 

Tighten hardware so that the Filter's pre-installed foam 

gasket is firmly compressed (by roughly 50%). DO NOT 

OVERTIGHTEN. 

8.  Replace the motor section and re-latch the drum clamp 

around the motor section.
