(13) MAINTENANCE
The Downdraft Table unit is very low maintenance. If you notice the suction is getting weaker, it may be time to replace the filters or clean out the Spark Baffle and metal mesh.
Spark Baffle
Metal Mesh
(13.1) C LEANING THE I NTAKE S PARK B AFFLES
The Reverse Flow TM spark baffles and metal mesh spark baffles are designed to inhibit and reduce
the energy of sparks. Because these bafflers and filters are the first in line concerning air flow, they
become soiled by welding smoke and need to be cleaned periodically.
How often they need to be cleaned is dependent upon the amount and type of welding performed.
Feedback, which we greatly value, indicates that filters need to be cleaned every six to twelve
months.
• It is recommended that educational/industrial facilities inspect the baffles every quarter, or
every 3 months, and clean them as needed.
• It is recommended that the baffles can be washed with a garden hose or, if carefully used, a pressure washer. Be sure they are dry before placing them back into the Downdraft Table.
• The easiest and most convenient way to clean the baffles is by first simply shaking the loose
debris from the baffles, and then spraying them with a compressed air hose.
• If the baffles are not cleaned thoroughly, they can affect the performance of the Downdraft Table, restricting of air flow and reducing the performance quality.
