INNER “THREE POUCH” FILTER (PART #10550-30)
This air cleaner is equipped with a filter cleaning sensor with
indicator light. When the sensor detects that the filters need
cleaning the “Clean Filter” indicator (Fig. #10 –
) will light up.
You will notice that the “Clean Filter” indicator will light up more
or less often depending on frequency and duration of use as
well as shop dust conditions. To maintain maximum efficiency
of your air cleaner, make sure to inspect and clean (or replace)
both of the air filters each time the “Clean Filter” indicator lights
up.
1.
Turn off and unplug the machine from the power source and if necessary lower the machine from its mounting
hooks and place it on a table or bench for easier access.
2.
To access the inner filter, first remove the outer pleated filter by slightly lifting then pulling the filter out at an angle,
then do the same with the Inner “Three Pouch” Filter.
3.
Inspect and clean as needed by holding the filter upside down over a garbage can or inside of a plastic bag
and shaking. A soft long bristled brush can also be used to gently remove the dust from the filter. Take care not
to damage the filter when handling.
Note: Do not wash or use water to clean the filter and do not use an air gun, vacuum or other “aggressive” methods
which can damage or open up the filter pores.
4.
Re-install the filter with the pouches facing in towards the front of the machine.
5.
After the filters have been cleaned (or replaced) and then re-installed, press the “reset” button on the main
control panel (Fig. #10 –
) to reset the filter cleaning sensor.
6.
If necessary, reinstall to overhead or ceiling supports. Reconnect to the power source.
Note: If you notice that the Inner “Three Pouch” Filter is accumulating more dust faster than usual it may be a sign that the
Outer filter is damaged and in need of replacement.
1.
Turn off and unplug the machine from the power source and if necessary lower the machine from its mounting
hooks and place it on a table or bench for easier access.
2.
Gently remove the Outer “Pleated” Filter by slightly lifting then pulling the filter out at an angle.
3.
Inspect and clean as needed by holding the filter over a garbage can or inside of a plastic bag and shaking. A
soft long bristled brush can also be used to gently remove the dust from the filter. Take care not to damage filter
when handling.
Note: Do not wash or use water to clean the filter and do not use an air gun, vacuum or other “aggressive” methods which
can damage or open up the filter pores.
4.
Re-install the filter remembering that the airflow direction arrow on the filter should be pointing towards the front
of the machine.
OPTIONAL ELECTROSTATIC FILTER (PART #10-565)
An optional electrostatic outer filter can be ordered through
your local General International dealer/distributor. This
Electrostatic Filter (part #10-565) replaces the regular Outer
“Pleated” Filter and provides the same level of filtration with the
added bonus of being washable with water or cleaned using a
vacuum and requires replacement less often. For more infor-
mation on the Electrostatic Filter please contact your local
General International distributor.
Note: Although the Electrostatic Filter can be washed and vacu-
umed, it should not be cleaned using an air gun.
