12.0 ASSEMBLING AND REPLACING THE HEPA FILTER
A HEPA filter is designed for filtration of ultra-fine particles. A clogged HEPA filter
will reduce the air flow thereby reducing the vacuum’s performance thus requiring
replacement.
The life of the HEPA filter depends greatly on the use of the vacuum cleaner system.
The best indication of a saturated HEPA filter is a noticeable drop in the
performance of the vacuum cleaner system. It is recommended that the HEPA filter
be replaced once a year if the vacuum system is used intensively (daily). The filter
can be replaced every two years if the vacuum cleaner system is used less
frequently (two or three times per week)
WARNING:
Changing a filter is considered a low to moderate risk,
however proper clothing and the use of an appropriate
breathing apparatus is necessary when servicing the HEPA
filter housing or any other contaminated part of the unit.
IMPORTANT:
Use only original brand replacement HEPA filter.
NOTE:
A second vacuum cleaner system, sprays or other power
sources are not required for this type of operation.
WARNING:
Turn off the vacuum cleaner system and unplug the power
cable before servicing or storing the vacuum cleaner system.
Clean and service this vacuum cleaner system only in a NON-
HAZARDOUS LOCATION.
