V SERIES
Cartridge Dust Collector
1. Collected dust may be a potential fire hazard. Refer
to Section 1 of this manual.
2. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
3. Be environmentally aware of collected dust and its
proper disposal.
4. Press unit function switch to OFF position. Unplug
unit from electrical power source.
5. Disconnect compressed air supply to air manifold
inlet and bleed air supply from manifold.
6.1 FILTER REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
As the V Series unit operates and the filter accumulates
dust, the flow rate of the unit will deteriorate. When the
pressure drop across the filter continuously reads
between 2"-3" or flow drops off to the point where the
dust generation process cannot adequately be
controlled, then it is time to change filters. To change
filters follow these steps:
1. Remove filter access cover by unscrewing the
retaining knob (see Figure 8). Tilt cover back away
from unit when freed from the retaining nut to trap
any fugitive dust on the inside of the access cover.
Dump dust into suitable disposal container.
2. Move filter from side to side to break gasket seal
between the filter and the tubesheet. Rotate the filter
180° to allow dust on top of the cartridge to fall into
the dust drawer.
3. Slide filter out along support rods and transfer to
suitable disposal container. Empty dust drawer as
described in Section 6.2.
4. Inspect tubesheet and make sure the gasket sealing
area is free of dust to ensure a proper seal.
5. Install a new filter element. Clean access cover
gaskets and reinstall cover by tightening the knob
securely to the retaining nut until the gasket is
adequately compressed.

6.2 DUST DRAWER REMOVAL
1. To access and remove the dust drawer located at the
base of the V Series unit, you must first unseal the
drawer by pulling the drawer release handle (see
Figure 8) toward the filter access side of the cabinet.
The drawer will move down and can be pulled out of
the front of the cabinet.
2. Dispose of the collected dust into a suitable
container. Any dust in the cabinet that was not
contained in the dust drawer should be vacuumed
out and disposed of.
3. Replace dust drawer by fully inserting into unit, and
reseal the drawer by pushing the drawer release
handle toward the control panel.
The collector should now be ready to operate. Reconnect
electrical power and air supply. Go through initial start-up
checklist to ensure proper unit performance.
6.3 AFTER-FILTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
If your unit was ordered with a HEPA or carbon after-filter,
there will be an additional filter housing bolted to the
discharge side of the V Series unit. The following steps will
allow you to remove and replace the after-filter as shown in
Figure 9.
NOTE:
After-filter housings for portable units (VP)
have a push handle located on the top of the housing.
1. Release the four draw latches located on the filter
housing to release the seal of the after-filter.
2. Remove the exhaust screen.
3. The after-filter will slide out of the housing as shown
in Figure 9. Keep in mind that the filter weight may
significantly increase from the collected material.
Dispose of filter properly.
