e. Dispose of collection bag when full and replace by a new collection bag
f. Clean the recovery tank and remove all remaining material
g. Clean hose to remove any accumulated dust, debris or material recovered.
WARNING:
Be sure to remove any remaining materials after use by rinsing and
cleaning the recovery tank, the suction hose and accessories.
h. Check the Coalescing Filter Element (CFE) HEPA grade regularly and replace when
saturated
i. The CFE HEPA filter should be replaced yearly, or every two years, depending on use.
(Refer to “Filtration system” and “Assembling and replacing the CFE HEPA filter”)
WARNING:
Do not use the CFE HEPA filter after removal out of the appliance.
WARNING:
Keep the static dissipating air supply hose clean and dry. This will
help prevent blockage of the venturi jet which could reduce the
vacuum cleaner system’s performance.
WARNING:
When carrying out service or repair operations, all contaminated
items which cannot be satisfactorily cleaned, are to be disposed of.
Such items shall be disposed of in impervious bags in accordance
with any current regulation for the disposal of such waste;
WARNING:
Clean regularly the vacuum cleaner system surfaces with a water
damped cloth to avoid dust accumulation which could create a
potential source of ignition.
12.0 ASSEMBLING AND REPLACING THE CFE HEPA FILTER
A CFE HEPA filter is designed for filtration of ultra-fine particles. A clogged CFE HEPA filter will
reduce the air flow thereby reducing the vacuum’s performance thus requiring replacement.
The life of the CFE HEPA filter depends greatly on the use of the vacuum cleaner system. It is
recommended the CFE HEPA filter be replaced once a year if the vacuum is used intensively
(daily). The filters can be replaced every two years if the vacuum cleaner system is used less
frequently (two or three times per week)
WARNING:
If the vacuum cleaner system is used for the recovery of toxic materials
proper clothing and the use of an appropriate breathing apparatus is
necessary when assembling and replacing the CFE HEPA filter or any
other contaminated part of the unit.
