3.1 PFB (Paper Filter Bag)

Envirovac (EV-1) Dry Recovery Only

1 paper filter Bag (Disposable) : Collects the bulk of recovered materials and facilitates emptying

2 Main Filter (Washable): Made of polyester cloth

3 HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate air) Filter: With minimum efficiency of 99.99% on 0.3 micron.

A. Working air intake / suction inlet

B. Working air exhaust

C. Cooling air intake

D. Cooling air exhaust

1. Connect vacuum hose to suction inlet fitting on Envirovac (EV-1). Do not pull vacuum using the vacuum hose(s).

2. Always insure the Envirovac (EV-1) is in a steady and even platform

3. When using the EBCH-1 Chipping Hammer Boots: A �When using only one EB-1 or EBCH-1 boot, plug the second opening of the �Y� fitting with the supplied rubber plug and tighten.

4. Always use the paper bag filters to insure proper filtration and extend HEPA filtration life.

1. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.

2. Disengage latches and remove power head from recovery tank.

3. Remove cloth filter from recovery tank.

4. Clean the cloth filters periodically. A clogged filter restricts the air flow and reduces the vacuum's performance. The cloth filters may be washed in lukewarm water.

5. Remove Paper Bag Filter and discard into a suitable container. Paper filter bags may not be reused once full, they must be discarded.

NOTE: Ensure that cloth filters is completely dry before reinstallation in vacuum cleaner.

1. It is recommended that the inside of the recovery tank be cleaned before storing the Envirovac (EV-1) vacuum. The inside of the recovery tank should be dry at all times.

2. The suction intake coupler must be closed off with the storage cap provided.

A HEPA filter is designed for filtration of ultra fine particles . A clogged HEPA filter will reduce the air flow thereby reducing the vacuum's performance thus requiring replacement.

The life of the HEPA filters depends greatly on the use of the vacuum cleaner. It is recommended that the HEPA filter be replaced once a year if the vacuum is used intensively: (daily). The filter can be replaced every two years if the vacuum cleaner is used less frequently (two or three times per week)

WARNING: If vacuum is used for the recovery of toxic materials proper clothing and the use of an appropriate breathing apparatus is necessary when servicing the HEPA filter housing or any other contaminated part of the unit.

1. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

2. Disengage the latches and remove the power unit from the recovery tank.

3. Unscrew the three hex nuts securing the cylindrical HEPA housing assembly to the underside of the lid.

4. Remove the HEPA housing assembly and discard the old HEPA filter.

5. Carefully inspect the seal gasket on the HEPA housing top mating surface for wear and breaks. Replace gasket if defective.

6. Verify that all three neoprene spacers are present inside the HEPA housing, otherwise the HEPA filter won't function properly.

7. Insert the new filter into the housing.

8. Securely fasten the HEPA housing using the three hex nuts.

9. Dispose of the contaminated filter according to government regulations. (If applicable)
