6. Maintenance procedures
CLEANING THE FILTER
To ensure proper operation of this Mobile Dust Cyclone, the HEPA canister
filter must have adequate air flow. This means the filter must be regularly
maintained by carefully blowing the filter clean using compressed air and
an air gun to release built-up particulates trapped between the filter pleats.
For heavy duty users, it is recommended to use compressed air on a
regular basis to maintain maximum filtration efficiency and longer life span
of the filter.
1. Keep your cyclone switched on and operating; open both sides of the
Canister filter shield doors. Connect the D4” flex hose from the cyclone to
the D4” hook up on the canister end cap.

2. While the cyclone is collecting the dust from inside the canister end cap;
use compressed air and an air gun and blow the outer surface of the
canister.
3. After cleaning the filter with the compressed air gun, follow the steps in

Step Forty Eight:
Remove the flex hose and clamps from the cyclone cone in
step forty one. Locate the plug provided inside the hardware box and attach over
the vacuum suction tube as shown in the picture on the right below.
Step Forty Nine: Install the splitter to the inlet using (3) M4*12mm sheet metal
thread bolts. All the assembly steps have been completed.

EMPTYING THE CANISTER END CAP
Periodically check the canister end cap, if it is more than one third full, it is
recommended that you empty it.
NOTE
: If the canister end cap gets too full, the dust particulates may be
recirculated back into the canister filter obstructing air flow and exposing
the user to potentially harmful particulates.
1. Release the (4) latches around the canister end cap to remove.
2. Empty and re-attach using the latches.
EMPTYING THE DRUM
Periodically inspect the contents of the drum and empty as needed. To
inspect the contents of the drum:
1. Raise the drum foot peddle bar to lower the drum to the floor.
2. Roll it away from the machine, inspect and empty as needed.
ROUTINE INSPECTION
It is a good idea to routinely inspect any quality woodworking tool in order
to keep it in optimum condition. This includes inspecting all hardware for
tightness, ensuring the filter is clean, and cleaning debris and grime from
any surfaces and moving parts..
