Check the construction before handling
Ask for the exact woven fiberglass construction, finish and cleaning method. Woven glass fabric used in reverse-air equipment and finished products designed for other cleaning modes can have different handling and installation requirements. Use the instructions for the supplied bag.
Protect the bag from avoidable stress
Keep the bag supported during transfer and avoid dragging it over steel edges. Inspect the receiving area and installation path for contact points. If a bag arrives with a sharp crease, cut or suspect surface mark, record its location and have the supplier evaluate it before fitting.
Keep bag condition separate from fit
Record visible condition before installation and fit after installation. For an inside-to-outside reverse-air arrangement, verify suspension and lower attachment using the approved procedure. This separation helps distinguish handling damage from problems introduced during fitting.
FAQ: Can a visual check certify the fabric strength?
Visual inspection helps screen for obvious handling damage. If strength is in question, ask the supplier or a qualified laboratory for the appropriate evaluation and sample requirements.
