Filter removal and installation
Disconnect power and lock out any electrical power sources before servicing.
CAUTION:
Dirty cartridges may be heavy, use caution when removing the
cartridges from the dust collector.
Do not operate the dust collector with missing or damaged filters.
The working area requires good ventilation. Some applications involve
hazardous gasses and dusts. Check with an authorized person before work
commences to avoid exposure to hazardous substances. Appropriate PPE should
be considered and worn.
In order to minimize escape of dust particles which have been deposited in
the filters, it is recommended the used filters are placed into polyethylene sacks as
they are withdrawn from the unit for ultimate safe disposal.
Procedure:
1.
Ensure that protective personal equipment (PPE) is worn, which may
include, but not limited to, protective clothing, breathing masks or
breathing apparatus, head, hand, eye and ear protection, approved
footwear.
2.
Ensure
that a sufficient quantity of polyethylene sacks is available.
3.
Turn off the
compressed
air and run the pulsing sequence allowing
time for the compressed air in the manifold to be fully exhausted.
