• Wire cutters
• Wire nuts
• Electrical tape
• Electrical conduit

Hopper Unit Assembly

1. Find the hoppers and support legs.
2. Move the hoppers to a level surface
3. Square the hoppers.
4. Using the corner support brackets, bolt the hoppers together.
5. Turn the assembly over into a standing position. (Heavy machinery is required)
6. Carefully rotate the completed hopper and support leg assembly into a standing position (using heavy machinery). Ensure inspection panels and connections are oriented properly.
7. Level the hopper flange(s).
8. Secure the support legs to the floor using concrete anchors.

For optimal performance, clean filters are necessary. You can either clean your cartridge filters with our Green Filter Cleaning Machine, or you can replace them at regular intervals. To replace your cartridge filters, do the following:

1. Disconnect electrical power to the fan and control box.
2. Disconnect compressed air service from the compressed air header.
3. Bleed all air from the air header.
4. Perform an OSHA approved lockout/tag-out procedure on these and any other energy sources.
5. Open the access doors at the front of the unit.
6. Rotate the right clamp bar up and pull, until its locking tab clears the rectangular cut-out on the left clamp bar.
7. Rotate the left clamp bar up and push it away from you until its locking tab clears the rectangular cut-out on the right clamp bar.
8. Rotate both clamp bars down until they are vertical and clear of the cartridge extraction path.
9. Slide dirty filter cartridges off the clamp bar channels.
10. Clean the surface of the tube sheet in the areas where the filter gasket forms a seal.
11. Carefully remove a new cartridge from the shipping carton.
12. Grasp the new cartridge by the top metal pan and set it onto the clamp bar channels.
13. Slide cartridge forward, keeping level. Push on the cartridge pan, not media. Do not drag gasket along the tube sheet.
14. Push the cartridge in just far enough to leave room for the next cartridge to rest on the clamp bar channels.
15. Repeat until row is full.
16. To seal the new cartridges, repeat the instructions in steps 10 through 6 in reverse order.
17. Repeat steps 6 through 16 until all the rows of cartridges are changed.
