The most commonly missed maintenance area for Dust Collectors is the Replacement of Filter bags on a routine basis. It's also one of the easiest maintenance areas, so there's no reason a VANIMAN Dust collector shouldn't last years — decades, even.

The Dust collector Filter bags in the VANIMAN Vanguard series and the SandVac collect the material sucked up at the workstation. They also allow sufficient cooling of the motor. If you don't change them when it's time, you may find yourself dealing with:

Dust overflow
Reduced suction at the workstation
Reduced life of the motor

We know that plenty of Dust collector owners will admit they know that changing their Filter bags is important, but a lot of them simply don’t do it — partly because they think it's more complicated than it is.

The truth is, it’s really easy! If you know anyone who needs some instructions, please feel free to pass this along!

How to replace a VANIMAN Filter bag...

Removing the bag:

To get started: remove the two thumb nuts on the side of the Dust collector (Figure 1) and remove the cover which will expose the Filter (Figure 2). Remove the old Filter bag.

Important: after removing the old Filter bag, inspect the Filter cavity. If Dust is present, the Filter bag may have been torn when installed, or the seal around the inlet tube was not tight. Vacuum out any Dust before inserting the new Filter bag.

Installing the new Filter bag:

While facing the exposed Filter housing, slip the cardboard reinforcement with the rubber seal over the end of the inlet tube.

Tilt the edge of the cardboard closest to you downward (Figure 3) and slip the back edge up past the end of the tube. Then rotate the front edge upward over the tube end (Figure 4).

Finishing up:

Look into the top of the inlet tube to make sure that the black rubber seal is completely seated (Figure 5). You should not be able to see any part of the seal from this view; if you do, continue to tilt and rotate the cardboard until the seal surrounds the tube fully and is no longer visible.

Carefully tuck the edges of the Filter bag into the Filter cavity (Figure 6) and replace the cover, gently tightening the thumb nuts.

Remember, it’s important to use genuine VANIMAN Filter bags in a VANIMAN Dust collector. Our bags use superior Filter materials and fitment, keeping units running strong for many years. Non-VANIMAN Filter bags may not be designed for these units, and may potentially fail. (Note: failure caused by non-VANIMAN Filter bags does void the warranty, so watch out!)

Hope this helps! Again, regular maintenance includes regular Filter bag Replacement, and it's so important to the life of the Dust collector. Please don't hesitate to call or email VANIMAN if you've got any questions.
