Maintenance
UNPLUG YOUR UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING. KEEP THE TOP VENTS IN THE COWLING CLEAN.
THESE ARE FOR BOTH EXHAUST AND INCOMING COOLING AIR FOR THE MOTOR.
Filter Pulse Bar Cleaning
The Pulse Filter System helps to unclog the filter for improved
airflow and performance. If air flow is not restored after pulsing,
check for clogs and clean filter. (Review Cleaning the Filter and
Troubleshooting Sections).
1.
Pulse your filter when the sensor is flashing or when you notice
decreased airflow. Frequent pulse cleaning of the filter will keep
your performance optimal.
2.
While the unit is running, close the cam and groove fitting on
the inlet of the Cyclone using the cap hanging off the inlet. Once
closed, push down the Pulse Bar extending out of the cowling, past
the initial resistance, and hold for a few seconds then release the
Pulse Bar. Repeat Five Times

Groove
3.
Open cam and groove fitting to resume normal operation.
Cleaning the Filter
When performance has decreased and pulsing has not recovered
enough airflow then the Filter should be replaced
1.
Wear a dust mask and eye protection. Treat your contaminated
filter as you would treat airborne concrete dust.
2.
Turn off and unplug the dust extractor and wait for the fan blower
to come to a complete stop and for the dust to settle.
3.
Unlatch the Ring Clamp (F) at the base of the motor section and
allow it to hang freely. Remove the motor section carefully, making
sure to not damage the air fitting on top of the filter and set aside.
4.
Check to make sure filter is in good condition with no torn media
or cracks or tears in the seal, A broken filter can leak material
into the motor and cause severe damage! You cannot operate the
system without a proper filter in place. (See Accessories page for
16

the replacement filter part.) Operating without a sufficient filter will
cause severe damage to the motor and will void the warranty!
Note: To help see damage from the outside, shine a flashlight from the
inside.
5.
If the filter is in good condition, you can use a handheld
compressed air nozzle. PER OSHA REGULATIONS: compressed
air cannot be used to clean a filter unless there is a ventilation
system that effectively captures the dust cloud that is created.
6.
Seal the inlet using the provided cap attached to the inlet. Ensure a
Longo Cassette is installed correctly, and the bag is sealed at the top
and bottom. This will ensure that any dust being knocked off of the
filter remains contained inside of the cyclone or Longo 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 will
damage the filter media. If during this process you see dust in the
air coming from the filter, stop immediately! There is a hole in
your filter, and it must be replaced.

7.
If the filter isn't in good condition, remove the Filter (E) by
removing the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (C) and the Filter Hold-
Down Plate (D) by sliding it over the filter. Dispose of the old
filter in the same way you would dispose of the dust you've been
collecting.
8.
Center new Filter (E) over the center of the Cyclone (G)and place
the Filter Hold-Down Plate (D) over the Filter (E) and re-secure
using the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (C) Ensure the gasket is
compressed at least 50%. If the gasket is not compressed, dust will
leak past the filter.
9.
Replace the motor section, attach the vinyl hose, and re-latch the
drum clamp around the motor section.
