DANGER

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This vacuum is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug.
  • The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded by all local codes and ordinances.
  • If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect grounded wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

GROUNDING METHODS

  • This electric equipment is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
  • The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can be installed by a qualified electrician.
  • The green color rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
  • Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. (Fig C).

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

INTENDED USE OF THE VACUUM

  • This vacuum has been specifically designed to clean up hazardous dust. Special filters reduce the incidence of airborne dust that would be created by other methods of cleaning.
  • During the removal of hazardous dust, DO NOT sweep, scoop, shovel or in any manner handle other than by vacuuming.
  • DO NOT at any time attempt to remove, substitute, bypass or by any other means change the filters in the vacuum.
  • Use only the manufacturer’s approved vacuum filters and filter bags.
  • Before attempting to use or before cleaning with this vacuum, be sure that you fully understand the instructions for setting up or cleaning/changing filters.
  • Any health hazards associated with use of this vacuum in conjunction with the removal of hazardous material has not been investigated by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

UNPACKING & CASTER INSTALLATION

  • Remove the vacuum, hose and wand from the shipping carton. Disengage the clamps on the tank and carefully remove the motor head, filter assembly, tools and casters packed inside the vacuum tank. To install the casters, turn the tank upside down and press the casters into the plastic sockets until bottom of the stem fits flush against the plastic sockets.
  • Reinstall the filters and reassemble the vacuum following the instructions below.
  • DO NOT use this unit until the owner’s manual has been read. Improper use could cause damage to the vacuum or the special filters employed.

CAUTION

To ensure a snug fit, make sure that the area around the lid and top edge of the vinyl sealing gasket is free of dirt and other foreign matter.
NEVER operate the vacuum cleaner without a HEPA filter and 2-ply disposable paper bag in place and NEVER, NEVER without the intermediate filter in position. Motor damage, lose of operating efficiency and re-circulation of hazardous material into the work area will take place.

INSTALLATION OF FILTERS

This hazardous waste vacuum has special filters installed. The 2-ply disposable paper bag filter contains the bulk of all debris and protects the remaining filters from excess dirt.
The 2-ply intermediate filter is a very fine non-woven filter that extends the life of the expensive High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter.

  1. Disengage clamps that hold the motor head to the tank. Carefully set aside.
  2. Remove HEPA filter and 2-ply intermediate filter. Set aside.
  3. Install a new disposable 2-ply paper filter bag by taking hold of the free ends of cardboard attached to the paper bag. Pull the cardboard forward over the inlet fitting so that the cardboard is as close to the tank wall as possible.
  4. Place the 2-ply intermediate filter in position on top of the tank. Fold the edge over the outside of tank, overlapping approximately one inch.
  5. Insert the HEPA filter, being careful not to move the 2-ply intermediate filter. The filter’s sealing gasket must sit evenly on the tank rim so an air-tight seal will be obtained.
  6. Replace motor head assembly on top of HEPA filter seated in the top of the tank.

CAUTION

Hazardous materials must be disposed of properly. NEVER throw contaminated debris in your usual trash receptacle. Place debris in an OSHA-approved poly bag or container marked with a HAZARDOUS MATERIAL warning and dispose by your local Hazardous Waste Regulations.

CAUTION

Always unplug the vacuum from the power source before changing filters.

WHEN TO CHANGE FILTERS

2-Ply Disposable Paper Filter Bags

  • When the 2-ply disposable paper filter bag is 3/4 full, it MUST be replaced. Excessive overfilling of this bag makes it difficult to remove from the vacuum tank and can result in breakage and spills.

2-Ply Intermediate Filter

  • The 2-ply intermediate filter should be replaced with every fifth change of paper bag and whenever there is damage or a visible collection of debris on the outside of the filter.

HEPA Filter

  • Replace the HEPA filter when loss of vacuum continues to occur after you have checked for obstructions in the hose or wand. Also, install a new 2-ply disposable paper bag and 2-ply intermediate filter.
