If in doubt regarding safe disposal of used cartridges, consult your local
regulations.

cartridge seal.
8. Slide new cartridge onto suspension yoke.
Insert seal-end first.
9. Wipe clean cartridge cover seal and replace cover. Tighten wing nut securely,
by hand.
Do not use tools to tighten wing nut.
When refitting filter elements, make sure they are not over-tightened.
Check cover is seated and sealed properly. Seal must be compressed to
ensure it is airtight.
Damaged seals must be replaced.
10. Continue by replacing the remaining filter cartridges in the top row. Proceed to
replace filter cartridges in the next rows. Replacing filter cartridges row by row
starting at the top will help limit dusting during replacement.
11. Wipe clean contaminated air chamber access door seal.
12. Reinstall access doors. Do not exceed 8 N*m tightening torque to secure access
panel as over tightening may cause damage to the filter and/or equipment.
When new filter elements are installed it is necessary to reduce the airflow through
the filter media.
This way the dust will not penetrate the media and can be cleaned off as described
above. After the elements are conditioned the slide gate can be placed back to its
original position.
