Follow theses steps to remove the cartridges. 

WARNING!

The use of safety equipment and adequate protection is 

needed for the changing of cartridges. The dirty cartridges 

may be heavier than expected. Use caution when removing 

the cartridges to avoid injury. Do not drop the cartridges.

1 .

  Remove the cartridge round access door by unscrewing the knob. Ensure that you do not 

damage the rubber gasket seal around the access door. Start this procedure from the top 

row of cartridges.

2 .

  Slowly twist the cartridge half a turn to remove the deposit of dust that could be on top of 

the cartridge.

3 .

  Gently slide out the cartridge along the yoke. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if it is a modle with two 

(2) cartridges deep.

4 .

  Disposal of dirty cartridges must be done according to environmental regulations.

5 .

  Check for any excessive dust accumulation in the hopper and clean if necessary.

Follow these steps to install the new cartridges.  

Note: 

older type MAXITOP dust collectors are equipped with open/open and open/closed type 

cartridges. More recent type MAXITOP dust collectors are equipped with open/open and open/

open type cartridges. Ensure you order the proper type of cartridges for replacement.

1 .

  Ensure that you have the same cartridges as originally installed in the collector.

2 .

  Slide the cartridges onto the yokes starting the open/open type. Check for the integrity of the 

cartridge seal.

3 .

  Install the access door back onto the cabinet making sure the rubber gasket seal is well 

attached. Screw the knob in and assure all components are sealed

4 .

  Switch power and compressed air system back on before starting the unit.

  14.2  Dust disposal

Shut down the system and empty the dust storage bin as needed to minimize the accumulation of 

dust in the hopper.
