MAINTENANCE
1.
Filter Bag Replacement
- When a noticeable drop in suction occurs in the unit or it shuts down,
it may be time to replace the filter bag. Remove the thumb screws on the front of the unit to
remove the front cover plate, exposing the filter bag. Remove the filter bag by sliding it off the inlet
tube; the front of the cardboard reinforcement may need to be tilted downward slightly to remove
the bag easily. Check the inside of the filter bag compartment, if dust is present please clean the
compartment. Cause for residual dust may be the filter bag had been improperly installed. Vacuum
out any dust before putting in a new bag, this will increase the life of the unit. Filter bag reorder
number is
VMC-A400-5
, which can be ordered through your supplier.
2.
Installing a new filter bag
- Slip the cardboard reinforcement, with rubber seal, over the inlet
tube. Tilt the front of the cardboard downward and slip the back edge up past the tube end; then
rotate upward over the tube end. Then carefully tuck the edges of the filter bag into the filter bag
compartment. Replace the cover plate and gently tighten the screw knobs. Only gentle pressure
need be used to make the gasket seal as the vacuum pressure will draw the cover tightly.
CAUTION
: Operating the vacuum with a plugged filter bag can cause permanent damage to the motor.
3.
Empty Accumulator Cup
- The accumulator has a cup on the bottom held in place with two toggle
latches. The majority of dust collected will fall into this cup. Empty when ½ full; it is recommended to
empty the cup
DAILY
. Turn the unit off before removing the cup. Gently tap the sides of the Accu-
mulator to shake down dust into the cup. Hold the collection cup with a hand on each side directly
below the toggle latches. With your index fingers, flip the toggles upward and then swing the wire
bales outward. Lower the cup and empty the contents. Replace the cup onto the bottom of the Accu-
mulator, swing the wire bales over the bottom rim of the Accumulator and snap the toggle latches
down to secure the cup in place.

Circuit Protector
