OPERATION
NOTICE
Do not pulse new dust collectors or
replacement cartridges until the cartridges are
properly seasoned, as instructed in the dust-
collector owner’s manual. Pulsing unseasoned
cartridges could cause premature cartridge
failure and decrease the efficiency of dust
collector.

Media Loading
4.1.1 Media capacity:
The approximate capacity and
minimum media amount is shown in the table below.
Reclaimer Size Minimum Wt. Capacity
300 cfm
10 lbs
50 lbs (0.5 cuft)
600 cfm
20 lbs
75 lbs (0.75 cuft)
4.1.2 Media loading:
With the exhauster OFF, add
clean, dry media, by pouring it through the reclaimer
door. Do not fill above the hopper on the reclaimer.
Do
not pour media directly into the cabinet hopper, as
overfilling may occur.
Overfilling will result in media
carry over to the dust collector and possible blockage in
the conveying hose. Refill only after all media has been
recovered from the cabinet.

Media Unloading ‒ Figure 13
4.2.1
To empty the cabinet and reclaimer of media,
blow off the cabinet interior and run the exhauster until
all media is recovered from the cabinet. Turn OFF the
exhauster, and place an empty bucket of other container
under the metering valve. Unscrew the plastic plug from
the metering valve, permitting media to flow into the
bucket. If media does not flow, it has caked; open the fill
door and stir media until it starts to flow. Before the
container becomes too heavy to easily manage, replace
the plug and empty the container. Replace the plug when
the reclaimer is empty or, if changing media type, purge the
media hose, as noted below.
4.2.2
To purge the media hose, before replacing the
plug turn ON the exhauster, grasp the gun, and press
the foot pedal using the gun to blow off the cabinet
interior until the air from the gun and the cabinet are
clear. Turn OFF the exhauster and replace the plug.

Loading and Unloading Parts
WARNING
Use solid fixturing to hold heavy parts in place.
Do not remove lift equipment until the part is
adequately supported to prevent movement.
Moving heavy, unsupported parts may cause
them to shift or topple and cause severe injury.
This is especially important with the use of
turntables and tables with tracks.
NOTE: Parts must be free of oil, water, grease, or
other contaminants that will clump media or clog
filter cartridge(s).
