Powder Coating - Deep clean

*Safety*

- Wear a dust mask. (If you do not have your own, disposable masks are available in the custodial room.)
- Wear safety glasses.

*Clean the Filter*

1. Remove the fluffy filter off the wall of the booth, and the rigid filters from the rear of the machine.
2. Take the filters outside.
3. Clean the filters thoroughly with a vacuum.

*Inspect the Cabinet*

1. Check inside the ductwork/ventilation for blockage or gaps/holes and clear it out.

*Inspect the tubing*

1. Ensure the vinyl air pressure tubing has not swollen or started leaking - if it has, file a tool report.

*Clean Shop Vac*

1. Roll the powder booth shop vac outside to the dumpster.
2. Tap the filter against the inside wall of the dumpster to dislodge any caked on powder. If the filter looks excessively worn, file a purchase request for a replacement.
3. Discard powder into the dumspter.
4. Roll shop vac back to the powder coating area.

As a last step, reinstall the removed filters.
