C AUSE
Air leaks between the dust
collector and Air Lock.
Motor not properly wired
Ductwork Issues
Large Chips Clogging the Filter
Fine dust clogging the lter
VFD may need to be reset
SOLUTION
1. The Air Lock must be in place, have a foam seal, and be well seated when
operating the dust collector.
2. Check for holes or leaks in the dust barrel.
1. Check wire connections.
2. Check fan impeller rotation.
3. Check breaker box to make sure power supply is correct for motor.
1. Check length of duct runs, duct diameters, and hood design compared to ductwork
design guidance.
2. Make sure all ductwork is sealed. Large air losses will occur even through small
cracks in the ductwork. Use silicone, duct tape or duct mastic compound as a
sealant.
3. Check for air leaks between collector and Air Lock.
4. Close all unused blast gates.
5. Check for a restricted pipe, too small a hood port, or too small a branch line.
6. Be sure that your lter is clean.
1. Check for a leak in the Air Lock.
2. Interruption of air ow, such as vacuuming chips with a ex hose connection, will
increase lter maintenance.
1. Air ow to the collector may be restricted. The collector needs the equivalent
of at least a 4" diameter cross-section open to allow adequate air volume and
speed for pre-separation in the cyclone stage of the collector. If you are using a
woodworking machine with only one 2" diameter dust port, partially open another
blast gate to compensate.
2. Check for excessive elbows at cyclone inlet.
3. Heavy sanding with a drum sander or ne grit paper will cause the pleated lter
media to blind sooner than with larger size dust. Clean lter more often with
compressed air.
1. Remove the cowling and press the reset button.
2. If there is no room to remove the cowling, unplug your system for 1 minute.
