WARNING
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES, FILTER
REPLACEMENT SCHEDULES, MONITORING RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAFETY
GUIDELINES CONTAINED HEREIN AND
IN OTHER RELEVANT PRODUCT SAFETY
LITERATURE (I.E., MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS) PROVIDED WITH THE
SUBSTANCES AND EQUIPMENT PRODUCING THE FUMES TO BE EXTRACTED COULD
RESULT IN RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
To insure continued effective performance, the following guidelines must be followed.
General Purpose Filter Cartridge
The XF-300 Series is equipped with the General Purpose Filter Cartridge which has been designed to
capture particulates and noxious gases and odors that are present in the air being filtered. Over time, the
HEPA filter will gradually become clogged, impeding air flow through the system, and the capacity of the gas
filter will be reached, reducing its ability to continue to neutralize and adsorb noxious gases and odors.
General Purpose Filter Cartridges must be replaced at regular intervals to ensure that the fume extraction
system is operating effectively. These intervals will vary depending on the type of work being performed, the
level of use, and the amount and composition of airborne contaminants produced.
CAUTION
To ensure the highest level of performance, use only XTRACTOR replacement filters in your XF-
300 Series Fume Extractors Systems.
The exhaust air stream from the central filtration unit as well as the ambient air in the workplace should be
monitored with appropriate and adequate measuring/detection devices to assure compliance with all
applicable Health and Safety regulations.
Flammable vapors and gases (i.e. Isopropyl Alcohol) are removed by and accumulate in the gas portion of
the General Purpose Filter Cartridge presenting a potential fire hazard. Therefore, the user must exercise
appropriate precautions when extracting such fumes or when handling and disposing of filters containing
such flammable substances. Follow all fire safety and personnel protection guidelines contained in the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the substance(s) producing the extracted vapors and gases (fumes).
DANGER
XTRACTOR FUME EXTRACTORS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE

TO REMOVE POORLY ADSORBED SUBSTANCES INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE,
METHANE, HYDROGEN, ACETYLENE AND OTHER GASES. RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH, FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT FROM IMPR
OPER USE. IF IN DOUBT,
CONSULT WITH YOUR INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST.
When disposing of used filters, extreme care must be taken to comply with all applicable environmental
regulations. Carefully consult the MSDS supplied with the material(s) producing the fume. If in doubt, check
with your local Environmental Authority.
Extreme care must be exercised when disposing of a used General Purpose Filter Cartridge containing
potentially hazardous substances. When disposing of filters, appropriate and adequate personal protective
equipment (i.e. gloves, respirators, plastic containment bags, etc.) must be used when hazardous
substances such as asbestos, lead, radioactive or biohazard materials may be present. Consult the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the materials generating the extracted fume.

V. SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
PLACEMENT
Three major considerations need to be addressed for proper placement of the central filtration unit.
•Exhaust Port: The exhaust port is located on the bottom of the filtration unit, next to the on/off switch.
When positioning the unit, make sure that the exhaust port is not blocked or that airflow from the
exhaust port is not restricted in any way. Additionally, the on/off switch (located on the back of the
filtration unit) must be readily accessible.
•Unit Location: The filtration unit should be located so that it will not block aisleways or impede normal
operating traffic or material handling pathways. It is important to position the unit in such a way that
allows for proper clearance to remove the filter access cover and replace the filter as needed.

XF-300 Series High Volume Fume extraction systems
Bokar International www.bokar.com, www.No-Stat.com, www.ZeroCharge.net Page 8 of 11
•Proximity to the work area: The filtration unit should be placed as close to the work area as possible.
If using a flex hose, it is advantageous to keep the length of flex hose as short as possible. Do not
kink or create any sharp bends in the flex hose, as this will reduce airflow.
POWER
The XF-300 Series will plug into a standard 110 volt or 230 volt electrical outlet, depending on the model
you purchased. Be sure the unit you have is rated for the intended power supply.
WARNING
Failure to supply the correct voltage to the unit will result in damage to the motor.
FILTERS
Before operating the unit, make sure the filter is correctly positioned. The pre-filter is always on top and the
blue side of the prefilter should be facing upward. The direction of airflow is clearly marked on the filter
cartridge. Airflow is always in a downward direction for the XF-300.
INLET CAPS
If an inlet port is not connected to a collection device, it must be covered with the inlet cap provided.

FILTERS
All Extraction Systems incorporate a progressive series of filters designed specifically to maximize life for
both particulate and gas capture.
Pre Filter
The pre filter is designed solely to protect the life of the micro filter.
For the majority of units, X-KAR use a pleated synthetic media
with a separation of typically 95% of particulate down to 0.8
microns. In cases where larger amounts of sub micron particulate
are generated, a higher efficiency filter can be fitted or stand alone
Bag filter can be installed to give greater life to the pre filter and
ensure adequate protection to the main filter.
Micro Filter
The Micro Filters incorporate a series of bonded webbing between the pleats. This feature not only ensures
even spacing between each pleat, but also alleviates the possibility of airflow vibration or collapse through
pressure build up during gradual filter saturation. Each Micro filter is designed to withstand up to 6 times the
maximum operating pressure for its designated unit. With filter efficiency of 99.997% down to 0.3 microns
and 95% as small as 0.01 microns.

Gas Filter
The standard gas filter is made up of a 50/50 mix of Activated Aluminum Potassium Permanganate and
Activated Carbon. The media neutralizes a broad base of chemical and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)
pollutants. A comprehensive range of specialized filters together with electronic gas sensing is available for
more demanding or diverse applications.
All filters are produced in accordance with ISO9002 with micron filtration complying with BS3928. A
certificate of conformity for each filter is available upon request.
