Replacing Filter Cartridge – Figures 28 and 29
WARNING
NO DUST IS SAFE TO BREATHE.
The inhalation of airborne dust can lead to
serious respiratory illness and death, serious
skin or eye irritation, or other health issues.
Always wear approved respiratory protection
when servicing the dust collector, while
handling filter bags and cartridges, and when
emptying the dust container. Toxicity and
health risk vary with type of media and dust
generated by blasting. The respirator must be
approved for the type of dust generated.
Identify all material being removed by blasting
and obtain a safety data sheet (SDS) for the
blast media.
7.8.1
Close the air-supply valve and open the drain to
bleed air from the pulse reservoir.
7.8.2
Refer to Figure 28 and unlatch the dust
container lid, pry off the lid from the container (the lid's
flexible inlet hose allows easy removal), and remove the
container.
7.8.3
Tie off or otherwise seal the top of the liner and
remove it from the container. Dispose of the sealed liner
into a suitable disposal receptacle.
Figure 28

remove it from under the collector.
7.8.5
Remove the cartridge retaining nut, washer, and
gasket from the support bracket.
7.8.6
Slide the cartridge straight down until it clears
the support bracket. A small amount of rocking may be
necessary to loosen the gasket seal from the sealing
surface.
7.8.7
Clean all reusable parts, especially around the
cartridge sealing area. Scrape off any residual gasket
material from the sealing surface.
7.8.8
Install the new cartridge. Tighten the retaining
nut until the cartridge cannot be moved by hand.
Tighten the nut one additional full turn.

Check the hopper gasket for any condition that
will prevent the gasket from sealing. Replace the gasket
as required.
7.8.10
Attach the hopper bottom and latch in place.
7.8.11
Place a new liner inside the container and drape it
over the top edge. Reattach the container to the lid and
latch the lock ring, making sure the lid and clamp are
secure. Replacement liners are shown in Section 9.10.
7.8.12
Season the cartridge, per Section 7.9.
7.9
Seasoning Filter Cartridge
NOTICE
Do not pulse a new dust collector or
replacement filter cartridge until the cartridge is
properly seasoned. Pulsing unseasoned
cartridges can cause premature cartridge
failure and decrease the efficiency of the dust
collector.
7.9.1
New cartridges must be seasoned before
starting pulsing. The cartridge is seasoned by letting a
layer of dust (dust cake) develop on the outer surface of
