Maintenance Information

Instruct all personnel on safe use and maintenance 
procedures.

Use proper equipment and adopt 

all safety precautions needed 

for servicing equipment.  Electrical service 

or maintenance work must be performed by 

a qualified electrician and comply with all 

applicable national and local codes.
Turn power off and lock out electrical 

power sources before performing service or 

maintenance work.
Do not install in classified hazardous 

atmospheres without an enclosure rated for 

the application.

Operational Checklist

1.  Monitor the physical condition of the collector and 

repair or replace any damaged components. 

 

Routine inspections will minimize downtime and 
maintain optimum system performance. This 
is particularly important on continuous-duty 
applications. 

2.  Monitor pressure drop across filters.
 

Abnormal changes in pressure drop indicate a 
change in operating conditions and possibly a fault 
to be corrected.  For example, prolonged lack of 
compressed air will cause an excess build-up of dust 
on the filters resulting in increased pressure drop. 
Cleaning off-line with no flow usually restores the 
filters to normal pressure drop.

3.  Monitor exhaust.

Filter Removal and Installation

Use proper safety and protective 

equipment when removing 

contaminants and filters.
Dirty filters may be heavier than they appear.
Use care when removing filters to avoid 

personal injury.

1.  Turn power to unit OFF.
2.  Examine the door seal and seal frame, and replace 

as necessary. Check the door gutters and rubber 
drain flap for accumulations and obstructions, clean 
as necessary.

3.  Inspect the cabinet interior and remove any foreign 

material that may have accumulated.

Impinger

1.  Clean or soak the impinger in mild detergent or 

solvent, or in severe cases, steam.

2.  Re-install with the handle facing you.

Pre-Filters

1.  Wash or soak the 1-in aluminum pre-filter in mild 

detergent or solvent. This pre-filter can be washed 
several times before replacing.

Do not use high-pressure 

washing. Filter damage will 

occur.

2.  When replacing, observe the direction-of-flow arrow 

on the filter frame, and install accordingly. 

3.  Dispose of filters in accordance with local 

procedures.

4-in Wire  Mesh

1.  Soak the filter in an appropriate wash tank Rince and 

dry.

2.  Re-install with the handle facing you.
