carryover, the inlet baffle of the reclaimer can be
removed. Review the following process before beginning
to make sure all parts are available:

Installation Notes:

Make sure at least 6 ft of 13089 - 2" adhesive-backed
gasket is available to replace compressed or damaged
gasket on the reclaimer upper flange.

7.14.1

Remove the flex hose from the reclaimer top.

7.14.2

Remove the fasteners securing the reclaimer

top and remove the top.

Figure 35

7.14.3

Remove the two bolts securing the baffle to the

side of the reclaimer inlet and remove the baffle through
the top.

7.14.4

Remove all caulking residue.

7.14.5

If removing (not replacing) the baffle, remove the

strip gasket from the inner tube and install the baffle
bolts and reclaimer top. If replacing the baffle, skip to
Paragraph 7.14.6.

7.14.6

When replacing the baffle, make sure the strip

gasket on the inner tube is in good condition and install
the new baffle in reverse order. Apply silicone caulk to
the seam (opposite side of the mounting bolts) between
the baffle and reclaimer body. Wipe the caulk smooth.

7.14.7

Inspect the strip gasket on the reclaimer upper

flange; replace it if damaged or compressed.

7.14.8

Install the reclaimer top and allow the caulking

to cure before putting the reclaimer into service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, observe the following
when troubleshooting:



Turn OFF the compressed-air supply,
bleed the supply line, and lockout and
tagout the air supply.



If checking the controls requires air,
always enlist the aid of another person to:

•

Hold the nozzle holder securely.

•

Operate the foot pedal.



Never bypass the foot pedal or wedge it in
the operating position.



Never bypass the door interlock system.



Follow all OSHA regulations including
lockout and tagout procedures.

8.1

Poor visibility

8.1.1

Dirty filter cartridge. Empty the dust container.

Pulse cartridge several times, per Section 6.2.6. Inspect
cartridge and replace when necessary.

8.1.2

Exhauster motor not operating. Check voltage

to motor and motor wiring.

8.1.3

Check rotation of exhauster motor; the motor

should rotate as indicated by the arrow on the housing.
If it does not rotate in the proper direction,

lockout and

tagout power

and switch the motor leads, as shown on

the motor plate. Refer to Section 2.4.3.

8.1.4

Using friable media that rapidly breaks down or

using media that is too fine or worn out can cause poor
visibility.

8.1.5

Outlet damper closed too far, restricting air

movement through the cabinet. Adjust static pressure,
per Section 5.3.
