Health and Safety
Recommendations
The Information Contained In This Section
Can Help Prevent Serious Personal Injur y.
PLEASEREADTHISSECTIONCAREFULLY
BEFOREOPERATINGORSERVICINGTHIS
EQUIPMENT.
his section outlines s ome of the health and safety issues that must
be acknowledged when operating or servicing your SASEindustrial
vacuum cleaning system.
It is important that plant operators are made aware of the responsibility
incumbent on them to take all necessary precautions to ensure their health and
safety, and that plant authorities implement the procedures necessary toward this
end.
We strongly advise that you, the customer, add to, and tailor, these safety
recommendations to suit your own particular working and operating
environment.
ExplosiveDust
The operators of this equipment must always be aware of the physical and
chemical properties of the dust particles being collected. A surprising number of
dusts are flammable or prone to explosion when mixed with air as we find with a
filter receiver application.
Materials or processes presenting such hazards MUST be identified by the
customer.
T
Please contact us
if your process
changes so we
may help evaluate
your risk.

The customer must also be alert to any changes in the dust material or process.
If a new process is introduced after the installation of the vacuum system which
changes the composition, quantity, or most especially the chemical type of
material being introduced into the vacuum system, this may greatly increase the
chance of explosion and fire.
If your process is to be changed, or if you have any concerns, we suggest you
contact us to see how we can assist you to ensure that the operation of your
SASE industrial vacuum cleaning system is as safe as possible.
IsolateElectricalBeforeMaintenance
DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY MAINTENANCE WORK UNTIL
ALL ELECTRICAL GEAR HAS BEEN ISOLATED.
Isolate all electrical before removing any guards, covers or accessories before
beginning any maintenance or repair work.
Always lock out the main system blower disconnect before opening any
inspection door on any separator or filter receiver.
Before re-connecting the electrical supply, ensure that all guards, covers and
accessories are correctly replaced.
ImplementMeasurestoHandleRespirable
Dust
Operators must be fitted with appropriate respirators and must wear protective
clothing if handling dust that may be irritating or even toxic.
We recommend that the MSDS’s for each of the dusts to be handled by the
vacuum system be included in this manual, and that specific measures to handle
problem materials be clearly identified in those sections of this manual where the
operator is exposed to thesedusts; i.e. filter bag replacement, etc.
Company speci c
lockout and safety
procedures should
be inserted in this
section.

UseSuitableElectricalWarningNotices
Do NOT leave electrical gear live and unattended without a suitable warning
notice.
Distinctive warning notices must be provided for posting in a conspicuous
position to any piece of electrical equipment or machinery on which maintenance
is being carried out, and which, for any reason whatsoever, is liable to be left
unattended while in a live condition.
UseCAUTIONWhenUsingtheHoses
SASE vacuum systems use blowers that develop very high vacuum conditions
which can be dangerous if caution is not observed.
DO NOT PUT THE END OF THE HOSE AGAINST YOUR
SKIN OR CLOTHES OR THOSE OF OTHERS!
Remove the hose from the inlet valve to dislodge materials that plug the end of
tools.

Vacuum Seal Troubleshooting
This equipment is designed for full time operation under the most severe
conditions; however, proper maintenance procedures must be observed.
Please read and follow the instructions on the following pages to ensure proper
operation of each of the components of your system.
TheFiltrationSystem
The SASE BULL 300Series of vacuum systems is designed to handle super-fine
powders, so the filtration sub-system is its “heart” and must be maintained
properly. The unit is equipped with fourteen (14) inverted bag type tubular
filters which collect the fine dust particles on the filter’s inside surfaces during
operation.
Before commissioning, remove top motor housing and check to ensure all bags
are firmly secured to the lower bag plate. The top of the bags are attached to the
top of the filter housing by use of bolts and nuts; and the bags must not be loose
or out of place.

NOTE: A loose or unsecured bag will allow product to pass
through the lter separator and will plug the in-line lter.
The lter bags should be shaken at least daily, preferably after each use. To
shake filter bags, simply shut off the vacuum and shake the filter assembly arm
swiftly back and forth. This rapid movement will dislodge particles on the inside
of the filter bag surfaces and drop them into the dust can.
NOTE: The unit must be OFF in order to shake the lters.
If the filters are to be replaced, please replace them ALL at once, or they will be a
constant source of frustration.
Filter Bag Maintenance
The following is a recommended program of preventative maintenance:
1. Check that the filters are seated properly and that they do not appear
to be leaking WEEKLY. There should be NO appreciable or
visible dust inside the ter housing.
2. Replace ALL the filters if wear points or holes are noticed.
3. If the secondary filter cartridge becomes plugged, check for holes or
leakage in the primary filter bags, or upgrade the primary filter
material to a more efficient type.
4. Replace the secondary filter cartridge when it becomes dirty.
5. DO NOT WASH filters. This will destroy the PTFE coating and
cause them to ‘blind’; which will cause the motor to overheat and fail.
Removing Filter Bags
Access the lters by removing the vacuum producer section. To change the
filter bags, unbolt each bag from on the filter shaker assembly inside the tank at
the top.
Squeeze the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag compressing the snap ring into
a “U” shape, and remove from the bag plate hole.
Operators must be
out tted with
appropriate
respirators and
must wear
protective clothing
if handling dust
that may be
irritating or toxic.

Installing New Filter Bags
Grasp the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag and compress into a “U” shape.
Insert into the proper hole in the bag plate, and release the bag bottom, assuring
the “groove” in the bag c is centered in the bag plate hole .
Re-bolt to fasten the filters onto the filter shaker assembly.
After installing all the lter s, check the installation from below; all the
lters should be neatly and evenly seated.
WARNING: Failure to assure proper seating of the bag in
the bag plate will allow material leakage.
The Inline Filter
The inline lter supplied with this unit will help prevent damage to the
exhauster in case of failure of a primary filter bags.
Should the air ow of the
BULL 300
become reduced, check that the
inline lter has not become blinded by dust, by removing the vacuum
motor housing.
In this situation, inspect the bags for damage, or to see if they have become
loose. Properly clean the bags if no damage is seen.
Remove the inline filter, and clean by back flushing with compressed air (NOT
recommended), or replace the filter.
Restart the unit. If after a short period of time, the inline filter becomes plugged
or blinded, replace the filter bags andthe inline filter element.
The most common
installation
mistake is to
release the cu
lower than it
should be. The
groove in the bag
cu matches the
hole size exactly.
Inline cartridge
element re -order
instructions.

PLEASE NOTE! The vacuum producer requires unrestricted air flow!
Running the BULL 300 “deadheaded” for more than a few minutes will overheat
the vacuum producerand void the warranty.
THIS UNIT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONNECTION TO A
CENTRAL VACUUM PIPING NETWORK.
Please refer to that section for vacuum producer troubleshooting and
maintenance instructions.
The following sub-sections describe typical maintenance requirements and the
problems that can occur.
The Dust Can
The dust can supplied with this unit is operated by use of two over-center latches.
For proper operation, the dust can must be properly sealed with the filter
housing. When in the latched up position, ensure that the pin of the over-center
latch matches the hooks on the dust can.
Do not over-tighten the latches! Only a moderate pressure is required to form an
airtight seal.
NOTE: Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
environmental codes.

Vacuum Seals
If you experience a “lack of suction”, almost certainly there is a leak in a seal
somewhere in the system. The following is a short list of common fail points:
1. Check all gasket seals.If air is leaking in through these seals, dust will
normally collect on the inside surface of the housing showing the exact
location of the leak. Sometimes, running your hands around the door
frame will allow you to locate the leak. Either way, replace the seals as
required.
2. Especially check the dust can gaskets. If they are torn or worn, please
replace them.
3. DO NOT over-tighten the lifting mechanism. Almost certainly that will
cause more problems than it fixes. The dust can flange need only
depress the gasket. The seal will form when the system is turned on.
Over-tightening the lifting mechanism will only lead to premature wear
of the gasket and will cause constant problems.
4. Check the hoses for cracks and leaks. A hose covered in duct tape is a
sure indica tor that the hoses should be replaced.
