Steel Tank Vacuum Assembly

Unpacking: Open the carton, unsnap hold-down clamps, and remove the motor head, HEPA filter, and 2-ply intermediate filter. Remove all accessories from inside the tank.

HEPA Filter Installation:

1. Arrange a 6 mil poly bag in the bottom of the tank.
2. Install the 2-ply disposable paper filter bag onto the inlet fitting, ensuring the cardboard is as close to the tank wall as possible.
3. Place the 2-ply intermediate filter on top of the tank, folding the edge over the outside by approximately one inch.
4. Insert the HEPA filter, ensuring the sealing gasket sits evenly on the tank rim for an airtight seal.
5. Replace the motor head assembly and re-snap the hold-down clamps.

Wet Operation: To use for wet pickup, you must install the wet pickup conversion kit. Remove the dry filters, set the wet pickup adaptor on the tank rim, place the HEPA adaptor on top, and follow the HEPA filter installation steps.

Poly Tank Vacuum Assembly

Unpacking: Poly hazardous vacuums are shipped in two cartons. Unpack the vacuum, remove the motor head, pancake dry filter, and HEPA adaptor. Assemble the handle by inserting speed pins through the holes on both sides.

HEPA Filter Installation:

1. Arrange a 6 mil poly bag in the bottom of the tank.
2. Install the 2-ply disposable paper filter bag onto the inlet fitting.
3. Place the 2-ply intermediate filter on top of the tank.
4. Set the pancake filter on the tank, then place the conversion adaptor on top and engage the hold-down clamps.

Maintenance and Filter Replacement

When to Change Filters:

• HEPA Filter: Replace when loss of vacuum continues after checking for obstructions.
• 2-Ply Intermediate Filter: Replace with every fifth change of the paper bag, or whenever damaged/visibly dirty.
• 2-Ply Disposable Paper Filter Bag: Replace when 3/4 full to prevent breakage and spills.

Procedures for Removing Contaminated Filters:

1. Carefully remove the motor head and wipe down all exposed surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not discard the cloth.
2. Remove the HEPA filter cautiously to avoid puncturing the media.
3. Remove the 2-ply intermediate filter and dispose of it along with the wiping cloth in an OSHA-approved poly bag.
4. Install new filters as described in the assembly sections.
