Filter Cleaning
1. The RP 4000 has a reverse pulse system that operates every 12-15 seconds.
2. In normal operation the filters will be sufficiently cleaned with the reverse pulse cleaning
system.
3. If this system fails to clean the cartridges your filter cleaning system may not be operating as
well as it should.
4. The most common problems associated with the filters not being cleaned are as follows.
a. Low compressed air pressure. Check for
i. Tank Drain ball valve open (compressor runs continuously)
ii. Leak in the air hoses. (compressor runs continuously)
iii. Compressor Pressure Switch not set correctly
iv. Safety valve stuck open
v. Dust blowdown trigger open or leaking. Disconnect the hose and check
pressure is building up
vi. Compressor fault
5. Dust overloading. This causes the filters to become completely blocked and the pulse can’t
work properly. Open the air bleed valve and run the machine with the inlet open.
6. Above all please contact your supplier if you have a concern.

Operating Instructions
1. Wear clothes suitable for the job and for the work place including, safety shoes, hard hat,
hearing protection, non-fogging vented safety goggles, and dust respirator suitable for dust.
2. Be sure all equipment is tested and tagged prior to use on any job.
3. Connect hose to the dust extractor via a suitable 75mm dust hose with CamLoc fitting. If 50mm
hose is more practical, use the smaller hose after more than 5 meters of 3” hose. This is to
reduce the speed of the air/dust coming into the RP 4000.
4. Connect the RP 4000 to suitable power outlet. This is normally 32A. If you need to connect
using extension cords please consult your supplier to confirm the best size conductor to use.
5. Keep the RP 4000 clear of drainage pits and grates or any such hazard. Failure to comply could
result in bodily injury and or could damage the RP 4000 or property.
6. Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the RP 4000 is in operation. Any adjustments
must only be performed when the RP 4000 is stopped and power disconnected.
7. Drain the Compressor Tank at the end of every job. This is important so as to clear the tank of
water especially if the unit is operating in humid environments.
