Monthly Inspection and Maintenance
6.6.1 Reclaimer wear plate:
Remove the flex hose
from the reclaimer inlet and use a light to inspect the
reclaimer wear plate. If the rubber is worn through to the
backing metal, replace the wear plate per Section 7.11.
6.7
Additional Dust-Collector Cartridge Pulsing:
When compressed air is supplied to the pulse reservoir and
the power-supply toggle switch is ON (exhauster running),
the cartridge is pulsed at regular timed intervals. When
differential pressure, as shown on the differential-pressure
gauge, remains between 3" and 4" WC, additional
pulsing can be done by doing one of the following:
Run the exhauster for a short time after the blast
cycle is completed.
With the exhauster OFF, quickly press and release
the test button on the timer two or three times.
NOTE:
Rapid repetitive pulsing with the exhauster OFF
may cause dust leakage.
Start the exhauster and
wait 5 or 10 seconds for dust to clear and then
repeat the process as needed.

SERVICE MAINTENANCE
Prior to doing any maintenance or opening the
dust collector, the employer must meet required
OSHA standards, including but not limited to 29
CFR 1910 for:
Appropriate Respirator
Protective Clothing
Toxic and Hazardous Substances
Fall Protection
Lockout and Tagout
All dust is hazardous to breath;
toxicity and
health risks vary with type of dust generated by
blasting. Prolonged exposure to any dust can
result in serious lung disease and death. Short-
term exposure to toxic materials, such as lead
dust or dust from other heavy metals and
corrosives, can cause serious injury or death.
Identify all material that is being removed by
blasting and obtain a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
for the blast media. Waste dust in the collector
can cause serious injury or death through
inhalation, absorption, or ingestion. The
employer shall meet all OSHA requirements,
including but not limited to those for confined
space, combustible dust, fall protection, hazard
communication, and lockout and tagout
procedure for electrical and pneumatic supply.

Glove Replacement – Figure 31
7.1.1
Special static-dissipating gloves are provided for
operator comfort. Gloves need to be replaced as they
wear. The first sign of deterioration may be excessive
static shocks.
7.1.2
Remove old gloves:
Glove gauntlets are
stretched over glove mounts and held in place with hook
and loop straps. To remove the old gloves, loosen the
straps by pulling the hook end of the straps away from
the loop material, as shown in Figure 31, and then pull
the straps and gloves off the mounts.
7.1.3
Attach new gloves:
The gauntlet end of the
gloves are stretchable. To install a glove: stretch the
gauntlet over the glove mount’s ridge, placing it against
the front of the cabinet.
7.1.4
Place the smooth side of the strap over the
attached glove. Insert the strap end through the buckle
and pull the strap taut. While keeping the strap taut, fasten
the straps by pressing the hook end into the loop material.

7.2.1
Some operators prefer to have gloves assigned
to them and remove them after their shifts. The quick-
change glove ports provide fast changeover of gloves
and armrest-glove mounts.
7.2.2
Attach gloves to the glove mounts, as noted in
Section 7.1.
