SECTION 800
TROUBLESHOOTING
The VentBoss Series 300 Collector is making excessive noise. Check the following:
1. Make sure the blower wheel is not hitting against the bottom filter plate.
2. Check that all motor bolts are securely tightened.
3. Make sure motor bearings are good. (Amperage rating will be higher than normal.)
4. Blower wheel could be out of balance. If the blower wheel has gone out of balance,
there will be excessive vibration. In this case, please contact the VentBoss Technical
Department at 1.855.558.VENT.
Manual Pulse Filter Cleaning System is not operating:
1. Verify that the airline is connected to the air tank.
2. Check air tank pressure. The pulse valve works best when pressurized at 85 PSI
maximum.
3. Check diaphragm on solenoid valve. If the correct pressure is supplied to the air tank
then a problem may exist with the solenoid diaphragm. See Specifications Sheet to
order a new diaphragm kit or complete valve from VentBoss Service Department.
Little or no suction across intake. Check the following:
1. Cartridge filter is loaded. Review “Pulsing the VentBoss Series 300 Collector” in
Section 600 under OPERATION. With the air hooked up press the Solenoid Plunger
25-30 times with a 3-5 second spacing between each pulse. Make sure the unit is
turned off for this process.
2. If using a fume arm make sure the butterfly valve behind the intake hood is not
closed. Sometimes this valve will close on it’s own, cutting off most of the air supply.
Cartridge filter loads up but no dust in the dust tray. Check the following:
1. Check that the Manual Pulsing System is working properly.
2. Check for oil or moisture on the filter media. If oil or moisture exists in the air supply it
will transfer to the cartridge.
3. In some cases high oil content is introduced in the welding process causing the oil to
vaporize. This will cause the cartridge filters to load up prematurely. Call the VentBoss
Service Department at 1.855.558.VENT for more information.
Fume Arm falls when extended:
1. Tighten the friction desk located near the swivel base of the arm. Be sure not to over
tighten. (See Fume Arm Adjustment in Section 600).
2. Fume Arm may be overextended beyond it’s weight limit. Place the arm closer to the
portable.
