Filter And Filter Canister
The vacuum filter canister houses the vacuum
filter which protects the blower from debris.
The filter should be checked at the beginning of
each shift and periodically during operation. It is
normal for some water vapor to travel from the
debris tank to the vacuum filter canister where it
will accumulate. Therefore, the canister must be
drained at the start of each shift and each time
the debris tank is drained to ensure water does
not accumulate to an unsafe level filter canister.
Excessive water in the canister can pass through
the vacuum filter and cause severe damage to
the blower. There is a manual drain valve con-
nected to a hose at the bottom of the filter can
-
ister to remove accumulated water as required.
The auxiliary engine must be at idle and the PTO
disengaged before attempting to drain the canis-
ter. Once the water has been drained, close the
drain valve to avoid losing vacuum suction during
operation. The system will not be able to develop
enough vacuum if the canister door is not sealed
and latched or when the drain valve is open.
NOTICE:
THE FILTER CANISTER WILL NOT DRAIN IF THE VACUUM
SYSTEM IS OPERATING. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM
IS COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN BY REDUCING ENGINE SPEED
TO IDLE AND DISENGAGING THE PTO BEFORE DRAINING
THE CANISTER.
The vacuum filter is a pleated, reusable filter that
is easily accessed through the door on the side
of the canister. Once the filter has been removed
you should de-grease with detergent and power
wash at 2000 psi (138 BAR). A mild solvent solu-
tion may be used to clean thermoplastic or tar
residue from the filter surface. Always check to
ensure there are no damaged areas or holes that
could allow debris to get into the vacuum blower
or silencer. Replace the filter if it is damaged or
shows any sign of deterioration.
