NOTE:
Dust trays are an optional accessory and are not necessary for most operations. If dust trays were not purchased, see the "Catch Basin Maintenance" section.
If purchased, there are two dust trays there are for each Weld Station main unit. These dust trays are located in the filter compartment. As the self cleaning cycle is activated, dust will be blown from the filters and accumulate in the dust tray. The Weld Station dust tray should be inspected and cleaned periodically. The dust trays will acquire dust and debris require being emptied regularly. The waste should disposed of in accordance with local regulations. The inspection and cleaning interval depends on the amount of particulate generated in your specific application. Variables can greatly influence the amount of particulate being deposited on the filters and, in turn, the dust trays. Initially, it is recommended that inspection of the dust trays be performed every four to six weeks on each machine. This will give you an idea of how much particulate is falling into the trays and how often they should be emptied. Most educational facilities empty their dust trays every three months to a year.
To check and empty the dust trays, simply open the filter door. This is done by unscrewing the lever handles. Make sure to retain the bearing washers.
Swing the filter door open.
In the bottom of the of the filter compartment are the dust trays. They sit below the filters and below the filter door. The dust trays are yellow.
Lift the right dust tray up by the handle until it hits the filter ring underneath the filter.
Pull the dust tray towards you, out from under the filter ring. Set the dust tray aside.
