Bulb Eater® Manual 

 

5. Plug in the hose from the blue vacuum into the black grommet on top of the new carbon canister to complete  
    the filtration system.  Make sure the nozzle is pushed in tightly for a good seal. 
6. Call Air Cycle Corporation (800-909-9709) for a proposal for the processing of the used cargon canister.   
    The most cost effective way to handle the canister is to include it with the pick-up of your drum(s) of crushed  
    lamps. 

ATTENTION: 

Only lamps and filters, placed on top of the crushed lamps, can be inside the drum.  Do not place any 
extraneous materials or liquids in the drum. Presence of these materials with the crushed lamp waste could 
result in very significant upcharges or potential return of the waste to your facility.   
NOTE: Bulb Eater users in the state of Tennessee are required to ship spent filters in DOT containers 

separate

 from the drums of crushed lamps. 

 

Adjusting the Lid Sensor 

 

Use these tools to adjust the open lid and full drum sensors. 

• If the “Open Lid” light remains on while the lid is closed, use the 5/32” hex wrench to adjust the black    
  lid sensor 

to extend 0”-1/8” & the white lid sensor to extend 3/16”-3/8” from the sensor housing. 

• If necessary, use the included screwdriver to adjust the sensitivity on the full drum sensor. The factory    
  setting is minimum sensitivity.  (Remove control box cover to access sensitivity screw.  Reseal bottom  
  of the control box when replacing)
