System Maintenance
Filter Maintenance
1. The filters should be cleaned when the barrel is emptied.
2. The system should be OFF. Using the palms of your hands,
aggressively slap down, top to bottom, on the outside. Fine particles
fall into the Clean Out Box. Remove the dust particles with a shop
vacuum or a dustpan.
3. Yearly, take the filters apart and bring them outside to thoroughly
clean.
a.
Option 1:
Use two leaf blowers, one running through the
center opening, the second blowing from the outside starting
at the top and moving around the filter until very little dust
continues to blow out the end of the filters.
b.
Option 2:
Use compressed air in short “puffs” from top to
bottom in long vertical strokes using no more than 80 psi.
After cleaning, reinstall and reseal
4. Overfilling the collection bin and planing lumber oftentimes leads to filter blockages.
Motor Maintenance
1. Run the motor for AT LEAST 15 minutes per
session. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes for the
motor to cycle in the cool air that it needs to avoid
overheating. The system should only be turned OFF/On
4 times per hour.
2. Upon shutting OFF, the motor may be restarted
after the impeller is no longer running.
3. At least every 6 months blow compressed air
through the motor vents to keep the dust out of it and
maintain proper airflow.
If you overfill your drum and there is material visible within the
cone, there will be material in the filter stack requiring cleaning.
Constantly turning your motor OFF and ON can
lead to lasting damage due to overheating.
