Maintenance, Cleaning the Filters

SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

!To avoid personal injury, disconnect power to air

filter when performing any adjustments, clean- ing or maintenance.

Use a respirator when cleaning or changing fil- ters. Dust will become airborne creating a respi- ratory hazard. For safe- ty, run the air filter for at least 6 minutes while wearing the respirator after cleaning.

Cleaning the Filters

To maintain optimal operation, the filters in the Two Speed Floor Air Filter should be checked and cleaned or replaced regularly depending on usage. We recommend checking the primary filter and pre-filter once a month or more often if usage is high. Always wear a respirator when checking the filters.

To check, clean or replace the filters:

1.Disconnect power to the air filter.

2.Disengage the latches and swing open the front door.

3.Remove the pre-filter, place it inside a trash bag, and gently shake the dust from the fil- ter.

Note—The pre-filter can be washed with water to remove the last of the dust and help maximize its filtering effect. DO NOT use compressed air to clean the pre-filter, as it may get damaged and lose its filtering capa- bilities.

4.Be sure the pre-filter is completely dry before re-installing it into the air filter.

The primary air filter is heavy and could cause injuries if it drops on your feet. Use care when sliding it out of the air filter cabinet.

5.Slide the primary air filter out of the air filter cabinet.

6.Slide a new primary air filter into the air filter cabinet, shut the door and engage the latch- es.

During regular use, the pre-filter can be cleaned several times before it needs to be replaced. It is important to look for holes in the pre-filter that would reduce the filtering effect. Please see the current Grizzly catalog for replacement informa- tion.
