Cleaning the Filter
Proper filter cleaning should not be neglected as a
dirty filter can significantly affect your dust collector’s
performance and the overall lifespan of your filter.
The following steps should be done while the filter is
still attached to your system:
1. WEAR A DUST MASK AND EYE PROTECTION
WHILE CLEANING THE FILTER.
2. Turn off the dust collector and wait for the system’s fan
blower to come to a complete stop.
3. Use a hand-held, compressed air nozzle with a pressure
between 30 to 60 PSI to blast air along the filter’s exterior
pleating. Hold the air nozzle at a 20 degree angle and at
least 6” away from the filter; Closer blasts may damage
the filter material. Direct air out and away from anyone
in the area.
4. Wait a few minutes for dust to settle then before remove
the fine dust bin at the bottom of the filter.
5. Dispose of dust carefully and then reconnect the dust
bin.
Emptying the Drum
When first using the dust collector, check the drum
regularly to get an idea of how often it needs to be
emptied. If the drum becomes overfilled, the dust will
be sucked into the intake barrel and into the filter.
How quickly the drum will fill us is based on the type
of work being done at the time. For example: fine
dust from a sander or table saw will slowly fill the
drums while curly shavings from a planer or jointer
will quickly fill the drum.
Lubricating the Motor
Per Baldor’s specifications, their 2-pole motors (3,600
RPM) are to be lubricated every 5,500 hours. Refer
to the Table below to determine if your motor’s
Lubrication Interval must be adjusted. For example,
a system operating in a moderately corrosive area
with an ambient temperature of 109° F (43° C) would
qualify as the “Severe” service condition, and should
instead be lubricated every 2,750 hours.
A right angled grease coupler will be needed for
this operation.
1. Motors can be greased while stopped, at less than 176° F
(80° C), or while running.
2. Clean the motor’s grease fitting, or if equipped with
slotted grease screws, clean the area around the grease
hole. If the motor has a purge plug, remove it.
3. Apply grease gun to fitting (or grease hole). Add 0.3
ounces (8.4 grams) of Mobil Polyrex grease by weight,
or 0.6 cu. in. (2 teaspoons) of Mobil Polyrex grease by
volume.
4. Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking
one minute or so to apply. Too much grease or injecting
grease too quickly can cause premature bearing failure.
5. Operate the motor for 20 minutes; Reinstall purge plug if
previously removed.
Caution:
Keep grease clean. Mixing dissimilar grease is
not recommended.
