12.1.3 Metal Mesh Filters: The metal mesh filters (if so equipped) should periodically be inspected and cleaned. Any buildup of material in the filters can lead to fires. To examine: • Remove the access panel • Pull out metal mesh filters • Wash with soap and water, and air dry • Replace metal mesh filters • Replace the access panel. 12.1.4 Spark Baffles: The spark baffles (if so equipped) should be periodically cleaned with mild soap and water. To examine: • Remove the access panel • Pull out spark baffles • Wash with soap and water, and air dry • Replace spark baffles • Replace the access panel. 12.1.5 Cartridge Filters: The cartridge filters will need to be replaced periodically. The frequency varies from a few weeks to a few years, depending on factors such as density of fumes/dust, particle size, humidity of air, oil or grease contents of matter, etc… To change out: • Open dust collector filter access door. • Locate the T-Handle above the first filter(s) to be replaced. • Rotate the T-Handle counterclockwise to loosen and obtain clearance for removing the filter cap. Gently remove the filter cap, exercising effort in keeping dust from falling inside the clean air duct opening. Retain the filter cap. • Gently remove the filter, exercising effort in keeping dust from falling inside the clean air duct opening. • Place the filter cap over the clean air duct opening at the bottom. This will help prevent material from entering the clean air duct during the remainder of the filter replacements. Take note that the gaskets on the filters are located on the bottom of each filter. • Repeat steps for remaining filters. • To install new filters remove the filter cap from the clean air duct opening and place new filter, taking care to install the filter with the gasket down. Place filter cap with gasket si de down on top of the filter cartridge and centered on opening. Turn “T” handle, clockwise, down against filter cap so that the dimple on the filter cap penetrates the threaded bore of the “T” handle. Continue to rotate “T” handle until gaskets are approximately 30% compressed. (If over tightening you will see the outer edge of the filter pleats begin to curve.) Ensure that the filter and filter cap are aligned properly to facilitate a leak-free fit. • After all of the new filters have been installed, close and secure the Dust Collector Filter access Door. • NOTE: Discard filters in accordance with all local, state, and national codes/regulations.
12.1.6 Drain Valve: Periodically open the drain valve attached below the tank to drain the liquid build-up in the air tank.
NOTE: Electrical power and compressed air supply MUST be disconnected before beginning the filter installation.
NOTE FOR NON-WASHABLE (PAPER FILTER) FILTER CARTRIDGES: Do not wet or clean the cartridge filters with any liquid as it may form unwanted blockage on the filter media.
