MAINTENANCE
1.
Disposable Paper Filter Bag
(item X150, pkg/10)
The primary filter is a disposable paper filter
bag. The unit comes equipped with
one paper filter installed, and four (4) replacement filters. To install a new filter:
A.
Unlatch and remove the lid of the dust collector.
B.
Remove the old paper filter. The filter is held in place with an elastic band
sewn onto the top of the bag.
C.
Insert the bottom of the new dust bag into the cloth bag, and expand the
elastic band around and over the top of the cloth bag. Loosely open the paper
bag to conform to the inside of the cloth bag.
D.
Replace both filter bags into the filter compartment of the dust collector.
Replace and latch the lid.
IMPORTANT
: The disposable bag should be changed when there is a
noticeable reduction in suction power.
Never
empty and reuse the paper bag.
2.
Cloth Dust Bag
(item X112).
The cloth dust bag is a semi-permanent filter, and requires removal and shaking
periodically to prevent its pores from becoming clogged resulting in reduced
suction.
CAUTION: Never operate the dust collector with any filter missing or damaged, as
this could cause rapid wear and damage to the motor.
3.
Motor Brushes
(Item X175 for
Ametek
Gen2000
motor, Set of 2).
The average life of the motor brushes is 500 hrs. The motor brushes are easily
replaceable and accessible by removing the bottom of the unit. It is not
necessary to remove the motor from the dust collector.
Changing the brushes is routine maintenance and can be accomplished by
following these steps:
A. Unplug the power cord from the dust collector, and remove the lid and
filters.
