Cleaning the Dust Collector
The dust collector filters dust and fines from the air used to convey material. The
filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain conveying air flow and optimum
performance of the conveying blower.
1 Turn off the conveying system by
setting the load time to zero (See
Page 4-6, Screen 9).
2 Remove the dust collector lid.
Loosen the knob at the base of the lid.
3 Empty fines and dust that have
collected in the lid.
4 Remove the conveying filter. Loosen the retaining
nut.
5 Inspect and clean the filter. If the filter is torn or
has holes in it, replace it. If you use compressed air
to clean the filter, be sure to blow from the inside
out.
6 Clean the inside of the dust collector housing.
You can use a vacuum, or wipe the inside with a
clean rag.
7 Reassemble the dust collector. Place the filter
back in the housing, making sure the threaded rod
extends through the center. Tighten the retaining
nut on the rod. Put the lid back onto the housing
and tighten the knob.

TIP: You can easily remove the dust
collector so that it can be replaced
with a spare clean one, or taken to
a remote location for cleaning.
To remove:
Disconnect the hoses and lift the
dust collector from its mounting
bracket.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection.
If you use compressed air to
clean these components,
wear safety glasses to pro-
tect yourself from air-borne
materials.
