WARNING: Over time, exposure to any dust could result in lung medical issues or death. Use a
reverse pulse dust collector with HEPA filters if lead or other toxic materials are removed from
items during the blasting process.
WARNING: Do not disconnect hoses while the system is under pressure, this could cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING: Use proper respirator and eye protection when servicing the dust collector
WARNING: When servicing the dust collector, disconnect and lock out the
electrical supply and disconnect the air line from the compressor.

Important Safety Items
Read all instructions before using this equipment. For efficient and safe production reference the OSHA requirements.
1.1 Dust Collector Manual
This manual contains important instructions for the safe operation of this dust collector and some of its related equipment.
Before attempting to operate this dust collector and its components all personnel intending on using this equipment must read all of the
complete manuals and familiarize themselves with the operation and parts.
1.2 Safety Considerations
• Dust collectors require high pressure air to pulse the filters
• Dust collected by a reverse pulse collector must not be allowed to become concentrated in areas where workers are exposed. This
requires proper maintenance of the dust collection & Hepa components.
• When selecting a location for the dust collector take into consideration wind, seismic zone and all load conditions.
• Electrical installation, service and maintenance must be performed by a qualified electrician.
1.3 Operator’s Responsibilities Before Starting
• Inspect fittings, valves and hoses for damage and wear. Repair any air leaks before operating.
• Clean the dust collector filters as needed and empty the dust collector hopper daily.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using this dust collector the filters need to be seasoned before pulsing. Do not turn on the auto pulse until 4-5
hours of blasting and/or one cycle of reclaiming media has occurred.
1.4 Cautions
• The compressed air supply to the pressure system needs to be oil and moisture free.
• Working air pressure of the dust collector pulse system must not exceed 80 P.S.I.
1.5 Maintenance
• Disconnect the power and air supply from the dust collector before servicing.
• Keep all components in good repair. Use Mod-U-Blast parts only and do not substitute or modify.

Dust Collector Start-Up and Operation
For Service Call:
1-800-661-3842
9
Initial Start-Up Check
Magnehelic Gauge Operation: Model 2015
Operation Checklist
1. Check for proper fan rotation as noted on the fan or the housing.
2. All access doors should be sealed secure.
3. Check that the dust hopper is properly sealed.
4. Remove any loose items in or near the inlet or outlet of the dust collector.
5. Set the air pressure on the regulator to 80 psi. (Do not turn on the auto pulse box - see below)
6. Turn dust collector fan motor ON.
1. Monitor the physical condition of the dust collector and repair or replace any damaged components.
2. Check the compressed air components for leaks.
3. Monitor pressure drop across filters. Changes in pressure drop may indicate a change in operating conditions. (See Magnehelic
Gauge below)
4. Check the exhaust
5. Check the dust disposal.
The Magnehelic gauge measures differential pressure between the clean air and dirty air plenums of the dust collector and provides
timely information of filter change requirements.
When the Magnehelic reading is between 5-6 on the gauge the filters need pulsing.
To check the condition of the filters using the Magnehelic reading, pulse the filters with the blower fan off for 4 hours and then start the
dust collector blower fan. If the reading continually stays between 5-6 on the Magnehelic gauge it is time to change the filters. (see filter
removal and installation)
NOTE: AFTER THE FILTERS ARE SEASONED THE AUTO PULSE CAN BE TURNED ON AND STAY ON. THE FILTERS CLEAN BETTER
WHEN PULSED WHILE THE BLOWER FAN IS OFF.
See the Magnehelic Gauge printout with this manual for maintenance instructions and trouble shooting.
NOTE: DO NOT TURN THE FILTER AUTO PULSE ON UNTIL AFTER 4-5 HOURS OF RUNNING THE DUST COLLECTOR TO RECLAIM
MEDIA AND/OR REMOVE DUST FROM THE BLASTROOM WHILE BLASTING . THIS IS TO SEASON THE FILTERS & TO PREVENT ANY
PERFORATIONS IN THE FILTER MATERIAL.

Dust Collector Maintenance
10
Dust Disposal
Maintenance Schedule For Blastroom Pneumatic System
Daily Maintenance
Six Month Maintenance
1. Empty the dust container (s) as required to minimize the amount of dust in the hopper.
2. Whatever type of dust container is used under the hopper to collect the dust, care should be given to make sure it does not over fill -
empty the container when it is about 2/3 full or less.
3. Reinstall the dust container.
NOTE: If the 6” butterfly valve is left open during operation of the dust collector it must be sealed to the waste container.
NOTE: The auto pulse control panel uses a Zelio timer internally. Should the pulse time between filter banks need to be adjusted for any
reason please contact the Mod-U-Blast service departments for directions.
When servicing the dust collector disconnect and lock out the electrical supply and disconnect
the air supply from the compressor.
• Report and / or fix any operational problems
• Correct any safety issues
• Pulse dust filters (after seasoning)
• Empty dust collector hopper
• Check dust collector filters - if the magnehelic gauge on the DC reads 5- 6 inches even after
pulsing then the filters need replacing (see filter removal and installation)
• Check for leaks in dust hoses

Filter Removal and Installation
Be sure to use proper safety and protective equipment when removing the dust contaminants
and dirty filters.
Turn off electrical power source and lock out before performing service or maintenance.
Turn off compressed air supply and bleed the dust collector storage tank before performing
service or maintenance.
Start by removing the top row of filters first and replace. This will limit the amount of dust during
replacement.
Do not operate the dust collector with missing or damaged filters.
Remove the knob by turning counter clockwise
While removing the knob hold the lter lid in place until fully unscrewed and remove
the lid.

Filter Removal and Installation cont’d
Removing the lid exposes the lters
Grab the lter as shown and pull out to remove. Most of the dust
collectors will have 2 lters except the M2000 and the M3000 which are
singles.
NOTE: Dirty lters may be heavier than they appear. Safe measures
should be taken when removing
When replacing the lters note that the end with the foam rubber seal
ALWAYS goes in rst whether it’s a single or double lter conguration.
Filter Installation
Reverse the above procedures when installing new lters
