Safety Instructions
1. Read and understand the instructions on the RP 4000 and in this manual. Different models may
have different parts and controls.
2. Equipment should only be operated by trained personnel, in good physical condition and mental
health (not fatigued).
3. This equipment is intended for commercial use.
4. For the operators’ safety and the safety of others, always keep all guards and shrouds in place.
5. This the RP 4000 is intended for use with concrete dust.
6. Do not lend or rent the RP 4000 without the operating instructions for the RP 4000.
7. Wear clothing suitable for the job and for the work place including, safety shoes, hard hat,
hearing protection, non-fogging vented safety goggles, and dust mask suitable for dust.
8. Keep body parts or any loose clothing away from moving parts. Failure to comply could result in
bodily injury.
9. Do not modify the RP 4000 in any way. Only use genuine Dustmaster parts and accessories.
10. Repairs should be performed by qualified persons only.
11. Never operate or store the RP 4000 in rain or if heavy moisture is present.
12. WARNING! Breathable silica may be generated by use and maintenance of this the RP 4000.
Silica can cause severe and permanent lung damage, cancer, and or other serious diseases.
Do not breathe the dust. Do not rely on your sight or smell to determine if dust is in the air.
Silica may be in the air without a visible dust cloud. If air monitoring for silica is not provided by
your employer at your work site, you must wear appropriate respiratory protection when
operating or maintaining this equipment. Consult your employer for proper respiratory
protection.

Filter Cleaning
1. The RP 4000 has a reverse pulse system that operates every 12-15 seconds.
2. In normal operation the filters will be sufficiently cleaned with the reverse pulse cleaning
system.
3. If this system fails to clean the cartridges your filter cleaning system may not be operating as
well as it should.
4. The most common problems associated with the filters not being cleaned are as follows.
a. Low compressed air pressure. Check for
i. Tank Drain ball valve open (compressor runs continuously)
ii. Leak in the air hoses. (compressor runs continuously)
iii. Compressor Pressure Switch not set correctly
iv. Safety valve stuck open
v. Dust blowdown trigger open or leaking. Disconnect the hose and check
pressure is building up
vi. Compressor fault
5. Dust overloading. This causes the filters to become completely blocked and the pulse can’t
work properly. Open the air bleed valve and run the machine with the inlet open.
6. Above all please contact your supplier if you have a concern.

Operating Instructions
1. Wear clothes suitable for the job and for the work place including, safety shoes, hard hat,
hearing protection, non-fogging vented safety goggles, and dust respirator suitable for dust.
2. Be sure all equipment is tested and tagged prior to use on any job.
3. Connect hose to the dust extractor via a suitable 75mm dust hose with CamLoc fitting. If 50mm
hose is more practical, use the smaller hose after more than 5 meters of 3” hose. This is to
reduce the speed of the air/dust coming into the RP 4000.
4. Connect the RP 4000 to suitable power outlet. This is normally 32A. If you need to connect
using extension cords please consult your supplier to confirm the best size conductor to use.
5. Keep the RP 4000 clear of drainage pits and grates or any such hazard. Failure to comply could
result in bodily injury and or could damage the RP 4000 or property.
6. Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the RP 4000 is in operation. Any adjustments
must only be performed when the RP 4000 is stopped and power disconnected.
7. Drain the Compressor Tank at the end of every job. This is important so as to clear the tank of
water especially if the unit is operating in humid environments.
8. WARNING! Breathable silica may be generated by use and maintenance of this the RP 4000.
Silica can cause severe and permanent lung damage, cancer, and or other serious diseases.
Do not breathe the dust. Do not rely on your sight or smell to determine if dust is in the air.
Silica may be in the air without a visible dust cloud. If air monitoring for silica is not provided by
your employer at your work site, you must wear appropriate respiratory protection when
operating or maintaining this equipment. Consult your employer for proper respiratory
protection.

4. Never operate the RP 4000 in the rain or if heavy moisture is present.
5. Never bypass over current devices in this the RP 4000.
6. Never connect or disconnect power cables with voltage present or while under load.
7. Disconnect all power connections and observe lock out / tag out procedures before attempting
to carry out any maintenance or repair on any equipment.
8. Avoid any contact with any rotating parts or driven parts.
9. Never use equipment that has not been tested and tagged (including cords).
10. Before connecting the RP 4000 to power, check the condition of all power leads and cables on,
or used in conjunction with the RP 4000. DO NOT USE the RP 4000 if any faults cuts, wear
marks, bare wires out of plugs or sockets are identified.
Get qualified persons to repair and re-tag it as required by regulations in your country.

Problem Solving
This Is a Guide Only. Consult Your Supplier for Your Application
PROBLEM
CAUSE
REMEDY
EXPLANATION
The RP 4000 will not
start / run.
No power is present at
cable PowerPoint.
Check the power is present
with another tool.
Using another tool confirms
power is present
An overload has
tripped
Have a qualified person
check the machine for faults
and reset using the blue
button
There is always a reason for
the trip. You are best to find
out why before proceeding.
The RP 4000 is not
sucking at all.
The bucket or bag is
not on or fitted
correctly.
Make sure the bucket is
correctly positioned on the
main bowl and firmly against
the seal.
If the bucket is not against
the seal firmly air can come
in and reduce the air flow
and or suction.
The seal is missing at
the bucket.
Check the seal by eye and
feel around the seal area for
leaks and replace or re fit.
If the seals are not correctly
fitted or missing the air flow
and or suction will be greatly
reduced.
The filters are blocked.
Check the air compressor is
working and the pressure
gauge is showing at least 80
PSI
The tank needs to be
pressurized for the pulse to
work.
The reverse pulse
system not working
correctly.
Have Qualified persons check
the RP 4000 system and
rectify the problem by
replacing the faulty part.
Restores the reverse pulse
to its original performance
and then it can effectively
clean the cartridges.
The RP 4000 seems
to have lost suction
over a period of time
on the job.
The dust bin is over
full.
Empty the dust bin.
The RP 2000 and 3000 have
a cyclone built into the bowl
system to reduce the load on
the filter cartridges; If the bin
is full it can’t work properly
thus the filters block up.
