VI. Filter Maintenance & Cleaning
How to Use the Filter Pulse Cleaning Bar
1. Push bottom of blast gate
up to seal the vacuum.
Filter Cartridge Cleaning Intervals
Filters are easily cleaned by removing and lightly tapping on fl oor. Dirt and debris will fall away
from the fi lter. Filter can be placed inside of a plastic bag and gently tapped. Wear dust mask
when cleaning fi lter. For more thorough cleaning, use the following steps.
1. Remove Filter from system and clean using compressed air (90 psi max.), blow the loose surface dust off of the fi lter,
blowing from the outside / in to prevent forcing the dust into the media pores. Keep nozzle 6 - 8" from surface.
2. After cleaning, inspect Filter for damage. Do not re-use a fi lter with bad gaskets, dented metal parts, torn media, etc...
Optional Cleaning Procedure
1. Rinse the fi lter with a water hose (40 psi max.) on the outside. Wash from outside. Avoid getting water on the inside of
fi lter. Do not use high pressure nozzle or a power washer on inside of fi lter. The PTFE membrane surface on the inside of
the fi lter is fragile and can be damaged.
2. Blow excess water off using compressed air (50 psi). Keep nozzle 6 - 8" away
from inside surface to avoid damaging membrane.
3. Dry fi lters prior to returning them to service. It is NOT recommended to dry at
temperatures above 150 Deg. F. The fi lter must be absolutely dry before re-use.
Allow at least 24 hours of drying time.
4. Protect the fi lter from dust during the drying process.
5. Re-install the fi lter and run the collector 10 - 15 minutes without collecting any dust.
Assure that all moisture is gone and there are no leaks prior to continuing service.
Caution! Fine dust collected in filter is hazardous to your health! Do not breathe!

2. Sharply push bar down and
hold for 5 seconds then
release. Repeat this "popping"
a few times.

open suction to hose.
Frequent pulse cleaning of
the filter will keep vacuum
performance optimal.

check for clogs and clean
filter.

in good condition with no
cracks or tears or interrup-
tions in the seal.

extended periods of time. This can cause
motor to overheat and shut off!
Dust Cobra Owner's Manual
When you replace filter,
make sure you tighten filter
only enough to make a
secure seal. If you over
tighten your filter you can
break it.
A broken filter can leak
material into the motor
and cause severe
damage!
You cannot operate the
Dust Cobra without a
proper filter in place. This
can also cause severe
damage to the motor and
will void warranty!
