4. Clean the air filter assembly by rinsing in warm water. If the air
filter is being reinstalled proceed to step 6. However, if the air
filter can no longer be cleaned by rinsing in warm water or if it is
damaged, replace the air filter as described in step 5. The catalog
number to order a replacement air filter is 55466.
5. Replace the air filter as follows:
a. The air filter is slightly smaller than the air filter holder and
is held in place by a small piece of foam at one end of the
holder. Slide the air filter into the foam and the filter will
"pop up" out of the holder. Discard the air filter.
b. While holding one end of the new air filter (Cat. No. 55466)
against the foam, lower the other end into the holder. The
spring action of the foam will retract against the air filter
and hold it in place.
6. Reinstall the air filter assembly making sure the right side of the
assembly engages the small bracket on the backpack. Once the
assembly is engaged, gently push upward to secure in place.
7. Roll the centrifuge back into its original position, then lower the
locking stabilizers according to instructions in the Installation
section on page 2-3.
8. Reconnect the centrifuge power cord.
