REGENERATIVE FILTER SYSTEM (RFS)

The Regenerative Filter System (RFS) is anoption that alternately turns on the filter shakermotors when the filters need cleaning because ofa build−up of dust or debris.

Normally the RFS does not require the operator tostop the machine to shake the filters duringsweeping operation (except in extreme andsevere dust environments). However, it isrecommended that the filters are shaken at theoperator’s initiative each time the hopper isdumped. This can be accomplished during transitto a dump sight. AVOID shaking the filters whilehopper is in a rolled out position. To initiate ashaking cycle, press the filter button on theinstrument panel. See FILTER SHAKERSWITCH.

In very severe dust environments, the pluggedfilter indicator on the instrument panel may remainlit. When this occurs, it is recommended that theoperator stop the machine and initiate one or twoshake cycles to clear a possible plugged filtercondition. After shaking, roll the hopper out toevacuate the dust tray. Resume sweepingoperation.

If the hopper is over full, the light may come on.Check the hopper load and dump if necessary.

If the filter light remains on after all the aboveconditions are corrected, the filters may beplugged or the RFS may be inoperative. Filtersmay be shaken by the operator initiative bypressing the filter button on the instrument panel ifthere is a failure in the RFS control system.

Successful operation of the RFS option requiresclean, undamaged filters. Plugged filters maycause the RFS to cycle continuously even at startup. The option also requires good sealing of theupper lid to the hopper, as well as a good sealbetween the two upper filter chambers.

It is recommended that the machine be driven forsome test sweeping with the RFS option at initialstart up. This next step assumes the hopper coverand upper filter chamber of the hopper wascleaned thoroughly prior to installation of the RFSoption. Sweep for 30 minutes and open thehopper cover to check the integrity of the seals.Look at the top of the shaker panels and theunderside of the hopper cover. Check for anysigns of dust tracking that may be caused by abad seal or filter. Repair as necessary. Performthis check periodically while using the sweeperwith the RFS option.
