Unpacking the HEPA Vacuum

Open the carton and lift out the vacuum. Unsnap hold-down clamps, remove the motor head, and HEPA filter w/2-ply inter-mediate filter. Carefully set aside.
Remove 2-ply intermediate filter, 2-ply disposable paper filter bags, 6 mils (OSHA Approved) poly bags, hose, and attachments from inside vacuum tank.

HEPA Filter Assembly Installation

Arrange a 6 mil poly bag in the bottom of the tank as shown in the illustration.

Place the 2-ply intermediate filter in position on top of the tank and fold the edge over the outside of the tank, overlapping it approximately one inch.
Note: On a new HEPA Vacuum the 2-ply intermediate filter is already installed on the HEPA filter.
Insert the HEPA filter, being careful not to move the 2-ply intermediate filter. The HEPA filter’s sealing gasket must sit evenly on the tank’s rim so that an air-tight seal will be obtained.
Replace the motor head assembly on top of the HEPA filter so it is seated on top of the vacuum tank and re-snap hold-down clamps.
