3.3 Replacing the HE Filter, the Prefilter
& the Spark Arrestor
The HE filter and prefilter must be changed if the
battery operating time becomes too short—or if the
airflow is diminished. The HE filter and prefilter
CANNOT be cleaned; do not attempt to remove
contamination from the HE filter or prefilter using
compressed air as this action will not work and it will
automatically void the Adflo
®
warranty.
To replace HE filter, the prefilter, or the spark arrestor,
the user must first remove the Adflo
®
Turbo Filter
Cover. Hornell designed the latch release for the
Adflo
®
Turbo Filter Cover so it would not accidentally
release if bumped into objects. The latch can be
released simply, and without the use of tools, using the
following method:
Figure 10: Filter Cover Removal, Step 1
Place the Turbo Unit upright on a stable surface, such
as a table. With the heel of your right palm, push
firmly on the second column of air holes of the silver
Filter Cover; the Cover will deflect slightly.
Figure 11: Filter Cover Removal, Step 2
While continuing to slightly deflect the silver Filter
Cover, press your fingers down on groove of the black
latch until it releases.
Figure 12: Filter Cover Removal, Step 3
Once the latch releases, the Filter Cover can be lifted
from the Turbo Unit.
Figure 13: Wrong Way 1
Do NOT push in the middle or the bottom edge of the
latch: the latch will not release.
Figure 14: Wrong Way 2
NEVER use tools to ply the latch; you can permanently
damage the latch or the Filter Cover, making the unit
inoperable.
Remove the used HE (particle) filter from the Adflo
®
Turbo Filter Cover. NOTE: the HE filter CANNOT be
cleaned. Dispose of the used filter as per local and
federal regulations.
