7.14.6
Tie off or otherwise seal the top of the bag and
dispose of the sealed bag in a suitable disposal
receptacle.
NOTE: Blasting media is usually nontoxic; however,
some materials being removed by the blast process
may be toxic. Obtain SDS sheets for the media and
identify all material removed by the blast process.
Check with proper authorities for disposal restrictions.
7.14.7
Remove accumulated dust or any material from
the cartridge-sealing area on the bottom of the cartridge
plate that may prevent the new cartridge from sealing.
7.14.8
Install the new cartridge through the access
door, raise it to the bottom of the cartridge sheet, align
the two rear lugs slots with the mounting screws, placing
the lugs over the washers, turn the cartridge to the left to
lock it into place, and tighten the tensioning knob to
secure.
7.14.9
Inspect the dust-collector door gasket, a faulty
gasket will cause dust leaks. Replace the gasket if it is
worn, compressed, or otherwise damaged.
7.14.10
Hang the door on the support angle, align the
hole with the mounting stud, and install the knob and
tighten it securely.
7.14.11
Season the cartridge, per Section 7.15.
7.15
Seasoning Filter Cartridge
Do not pulse a new dust collector or
replacement filter cartridge until the cartridge is
properly seasoned. Pulsing unseasoned
cartridges can decrease the efficiency of dust
collectors and cause premature cartridge
failure.
7.15.1
New cartridges must be seasoned. The cartridge
is seasoned by letting a dust cake develop on the filter
media before starting the pulsing cycle.
7.15.2
Pause the pulse cycle by turning the pulse-
pressure regulator OFF (to 0 psi). NOTE: Pulse timing is
controlled with the digital pulse timer and air pressure. If
pulse pressure is set to any pressure other than 0 psi,
the pulse automatically starts whenever the dust-
collector exhauster is started by pushing the green start
button on the control console. If pulse pressure is set to
0 psi, the timer is still functioning but there is no pulse
because air pressure is turned off.
7.15.3
Operate the collector without pulsing until the
differential-pressure gauge reads 4 inches (4" WC). At
that point, turn the pulse regulator to 60 psi, per Section
5.8, and the set pulse OFF time to 40 seconds, per
