FILTERS
This vacuum unit has special filters installed as shown below. The two-ply paper filter (50) contains the bulk of the debris
and protects the remaining filters from excess dirt. The white intermediate filter (32) is a very fine non-woven filter that
extends the life of the expensive High Efficiency Particulate Absolute (H.E.P.A.) filter (51).
INITIAL INSTALLATION OF FILTERS
1. Remove all items from the carton and set the vacuum unit on the edge of a table. Unsnap the hold-down clamps.
Disengage the two clamps and remove the head assembly and carefully place aside.
2. Remove the H.E.P.A. filter unit and the intermediate white filter and place aside.
3. Mount the disposable two-ply filter bag by taking hold of the free ends of the cardboard attached to the paper bag
and pulling the cardboard forward over the inlet fitting getting the cardboard as close to the wall of the canister as
possible.
4. Place the white intermediate filter in position on top of the canister. Fold the edge to the outside of the canister
overlapping approximately one inch. Insert the H.E.P.A. filter being careful not to move the intermediate filter. The
sealing gasket must sit evenly on the rim of the canister to obtain an air tight seal.
5. Replace the power head assembly on top of the H.E.P.A. filter seated in the top of the canister.
CAUTION:
TO ENSURE A SNUG FIT, MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE LID AND TOP EDGE OF THE
VINYL SEALING GASKET IS FREE OF DIRT AND OTHER FOREIGN MATTER.
