Consult the records for differential pressure and flow to identify signs of rising differential
pressure across the cartridges. If the cartridges can no longer maintain a consistent
differential pressure, the cartridges need to be replaced. Replacement of the cartridges
should occur as soon as possible.
Examine the porthole door seal and internal gasket for wear.
Examine the porthole door cam mechanism for wear.
Inspect all joints for evidence of air or dust leakage.
Check for evidence of moisture or dust build up within the collector. Moisture in the
collector can cause plugging and premature cartridge failure.
Check all electrical apparatus for proper operation.
Check for correct operation of the solenoid valves and the diaphragm valves.
Check discharge air condition for signs of dust. See Troubleshooting if bypass occurs.
Check the dust disposal equipment for correct operation and comply with any
lubrication or maintenance instructions in the relevant manufactures’ instructions. If an AAF
barrel top adapter is installed, check the condition of the flexible, or hard pipe, sleeve and
replace if showing signs of wear or if torn.
Check all safety & warning labels are intact and legible and secure.
