FILTER CLEANING
Every 40/70 hours of work or when necessary check the filters Part. 4 Fig. 12.
Lift the dust container (Fig. 10) moving the lever Part. 1 Fig. 10.
After raising the container connect the security plug Part. 1 Fig. 14. In the back of the machine under the filter, unplug the electrical connectors
of the shaker Part. 1 Fig. 12.
Remove the filter to clean it thoroughly.
Unfasten the screws from the angular filter blocks Part. 2 Fig. 12 to pull out the filter. Use a forklift to move the filter, the fork length must fit
the filter dimension (adjust the space between the forks and block the position).
The filter can either be removed manually by at least 2 people working together.
Keep the filter raised above the ground with the aid of the forklift.
Cleaning operations:

softly shake the filter, beat it on the ground (not violently) to drop the dust;


Make sure that the black gasket is placed in the correct position before putting the filters back.
Make sure the filters are in good conditions and replace them when necessary.
