Emptying the Waste Collection Vacuum
The waste collection vacuum is located inside of the cabinet on the lowest shelf. The vacuum has a four-
gallon capacity and should be checked regularly. Upon the first few cycles, operators should frequently
check the vacuum so that they can gauge how often it will need to be emptied. Follow the instructions
below to check/empty the waste collection vacuum. A
Vac Full
indicator located on the top cover will
illuminate when the vacuum is full.
When the light comes on, wait 60 seconds then initiate timed shutdown.
1.
De-energize unit with proper LOTO procedures.
2.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate PPE (gloves, mask, eye protection at minimum).
3.
Open the vacuum cabinet.
4.
Pull the vacuum forward and remove it from the cabinet.
5.
If necessary, disconnect the vacuum’s power cord.
6.
Open the two clips on either side of the vacuum.
7.
Remove the vacuum lid and set aside.

If the
Vac Full
light is illuminated, then remove and replace the bag. Take caution in removing
the bag as dust particles may disseminate.

Reinstall vacuum in reverse order.
NOTE:
The waste collection level should be checked frequently and during every pre-startup procedure.
Overfilling the waste collection vacuum can result in damage to the vacuum unit and to the machine. If
