REPLACING THE FILTERS
When To Replace the Filters
• When damaged.
• When the extraction capacity is significantly reduced.
• In cases of a continuous alarm situation while the
cleaning mechanism is running.
NOTE: You must learn from experience when to
replace the filters. The life span of the filters
strongly depends on the composition of the
welding fumes, humidity, etc.
How To Replace Filters
1. Disconnect input power and the compressed air
connection.
2. Remove the associated components necessary to
gain access to the filter. See Installation for
removal in reverse order. See Figure D.1.
3. Using a 13mm wrench, remove the nuts and asso-
ciated washers securing the filter lid.
See Figure
A.2.
4. Remove the upper filter. The filter has been fitted
with special plastic handles for this purpose. See
Figure A.2.
5. Remove the filter ring.
6. Remove the lower filter.
7. Position the new filters, filter ring and filter lid in
reverse order and mount the lid housing. Note the
correct position of the filter ring, filter lid and
the condition of the seal on the cover.
8. Check the condition of the lid on the lid housing.
9. Reset hour counter if applicable.

• Saturated filters and/or full drums often
contain dust and dirt particles which
can be inhaled and cause harm.
• When replacing filters always wear a
high-quality and approved respirator.
• Wrap everything in a properly closed plastic bag
and dispose of in compliance with the local regula-
tions.
• Always replace both filters at the same time.
