Cleaning the Filter
Proper lter cleaning should not be neglected as a
dirty lter can signi cantly a ect your dust collector's
performance and the overall lifespan of your lter.
e following steps should be done while the lter is
still attached to your system:
1. WEAR A DUST MASK AND EYE PROTECTION
WHILE CLEANING THE FILTER.
2. Turn o 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 lter's exterior
pleating. Hold the air nozzle at a 20 degree angle and at
least 6" away from the lter; Closer blasts may damage
the lter material. Direct air out and away from anyone
in the area.
4. Wait a few minutes for dust to settle, then remove the
ne dust bin at the bottom of the lter.
5. Dispose of dust carefully and then reconnect the dust
bin.

Lubricating the Motor
Per Baldor's speci cations, 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 tting, 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 tting (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.
