Fig. 1-2

3.Remove the three-pocket inner filter (B) in the same manner as the electrostatic filter.

See figure 1-2.

4.Install both filters in the reverse order in which they were removed. NOTE: Make certain the AIRFLOW arrow on each fitler is pointing inward toward the rear of the Air Cleaner.

5.Both the electrostatic filter and the three-pocket inner filter should be replaced once a year. The electrostatic filter should be cleaned once a month or more often depending on use. When there is a heavy build up of dust on the electrostatic filter,

it should be cleaned. The three-pocket inner filter cannot be cleaned. If either filter is torn, bent or damaged in any way, it should be replaced immed- iately.

The electrostatic filter can be cleaned in one of three methods. Method one is using a shop-vac to remove the dust. Method two is using compressed air to blow the dust out of the filter. Method three is to wash with soap and water.

!WARNING

Compressed air can be dangerous. For operator safety, DO NOT exceed an air pressure of 30 PSI or point air nozzle toward anyone or aim nozzle at your own body. Always wear safety glasses and dust mask when performing this procedure.

LUBRICATION

The Air Cleaner has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor housing that do not require any additional lubrica- tion from the operator.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

to clean Air Cleaner.

!WARNING

Repairs to the Air Cleaner should be performed by trained personnel only. Contact your nearest Steel City Authorized Service Center for authorized service. Unauthorized repairs or replacement with non-factory parts could cause serious injury to the operator and damage to the Air Cleaner.
