times. Below is a pictorial showing the correct procedure.
Service
During cleaning disconnect unit from power. The DC AirCube
500 is equipped with a filter indication lamp alerting you
when the filter requires changing. Generally when the unit is
experiencing low suction the pre-filter should be changed. If
low suction persists then a HEPA filter change may be
required. When changing either filter ensure that proper
breathing protection is in place for both the direct vicinity
and surrounding areas. Changing the HEPA filter of the DC
AirCube 500 required that you un-clamp the pre-filter and

10
remove it. Once removed slide a bag over the open end of
the unit (if required) remove the old HEPA filter and replace
with a new one in the same orientation. Re-clamp on the
pre-filter and the process is complete. These simple steps are
outlined below.
Step 1- Pull filter out after removing the pre-filter
Step 2- Install new filter in same orientation
Changing the pre-filter of the DC AirCube 500 involves sliding
a bag over the rear of the machine (if required) and
removing the pre-filter. Removing the pre-filter is done by
