and design requirements. This bulletin contains the information
necessary for installation, operation, and maintenance of the
OptiFlo dust collector. Read the entire manual and check each

1.0 General Information
WARNING: In the event this unit is not placed in service within 60
days after receipt, the filter cartridges must be removed and stored
in a clean, dry place to prevent possible moisture accumulation in
the media.
1.1 Filter Elements
The basic filter element used in the OptiFlo dust collector is the
OptiFlo cartridge filter. The OptiFlo filter consists of pleated media in a
cylindrical configuration. This design allows for installation and change-
out with a minimum of time and effort. Each OptiFlo filter is supplied
with its own gasket to ensure a positive, airtight seal each time the
filter is changed.
The filters are installed horizontally. Filters are cleaned automatically in
sequence, so that only a small portion of the filters are off-line at any
given time.
