WARNING
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES, FILTER
REPLACEMENT SCHEDULES, MONITORING RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAFETY
GUIDELINES CONTAINED HEREIN AND IN OTHER RELEVANT PRODUCT SAFETY
LITERATURE (I.E., MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS) PROVIDED WITH THE
SUBSTANCES AND EQUIPMENT PRODUCING THE FUMES TO BE EXTRACTED COULD
RESULT IN RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
To insure continued effective performance, the following guidelines must be followed.
General Purpose Filter Cartridge
The XF-300 Series is equipped with the General Purpose Filter Cartridge which has been designed to
capture particulates and noxious gases and odors that are present in the air being filtered. Over time, the
HEPA filter will gradually become clogged, impeding air flow through the system, and the capacity of the gas
filter will be reached, reducing its ability to continue to neutralize and adsorb noxious gases and odors.
General Purpose Filter Cartridges
must be replaced at regular intervals
to ensure that the fume extraction
system is operating effectively. These intervals will vary depending on the type of work being performed, the
level of use, and the amount and composition of airborne contaminants produced.
CAUTION
To ensure the highest level of performance, use only XTRACTOR replacement filters in your XF-
300 Series Fume Extractors Systems.
The exhaust air stream from the central filtration unit as well as the ambient air in the workplace should be
monitored with appropriate and adequate measuring/detection devices to assure compliance with all
applicable Health and Safety regulations.
Flammable vapors and gases (i.e. Isopropyl Alcohol) are removed by and accumulate in the gas portion of
the General Purpose Filter Cartridge presenting a potential fire hazard. Therefore, the user must exercise
appropriate precautions when extracting such fumes or when handling and disposing of filters containing
such flammable substances. Follow all fire safety and personnel protection guidelines contained in the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the substance(s) producing the extracted vapors and gases (fumes).
DANGER
XTRACTOR FUME EXTRACTORS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE
FOR DEVICES SUCH AS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE RESPIRATORS THAT ARE DESIGNED
TO REMOVE POORLY ADSORBED SUBSTANCES INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE,
METHANE, HYDROGEN, ACETYLENE AND OTHER GASES. RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH, FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER USE. IF IN DOUBT,
CONSULT WITH YOUR INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST.
When disposing of used filters, extreme care must be taken to comply with all applicable environmental
regulations. Carefully consult the MSDS supplied with the material(s) producing the fume. If in doubt, check
with your local Environmental Authority.
Extreme care must be exercised when disposing of a used General Purpose Filter Cartridge containing
potentially hazardous substances. When disposing of filters, appropriate and adequate personal protective
equipment (i.e. gloves, respirators, plastic containment bags, etc.) must be used when hazardous
substances such as asbestos, lead, radioactive or biohazard materials may be present. Consult the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the materials generating the extracted fume.
