All Nikro Industries Inc. products that have rated efficiencies of 99.97% @ 0.3 microns
and/or 99.99% @ 0.3 microns, have H.E.P.A. filters that have been individually tested to
meet these minimum efficiencies.
Although all the filters have been pre-tested, the possibility of leaks or filter failure due to
handling, transportation, punctures, loaded filters, moisture, wear and tear, etc., does
exist.
Therefore, when using this equipment in highly sensitive areas or where any release of
particles above and beyond the minimum efficiencies would be detrimental and harmful
to humans, plants or property; it is strongly recommended that the units be individually
tested prior to their use.
This is to assure that they are maintaining the efficiency levels, which they were
designed to filter out.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS HARM TO HUMAN LIFE, PLANT
LIFE AND/OR PROPERTY.
BACKDRAFTING AND CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES
To prevent the backdrafting of deadly carbon monoxide, when using your portable air
scrubber to create a negative pressure in a containment area, turn off all open
combustion devices such as but not limited to fireplaces, hot water heaters, furnaces,
boilers etc.

Your #PS600 Poly Air Scrubbing System has been thoroughly tested and inspected at the factory and is fully assembled
and ready for use. However, prior to plugging the unit in, inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during
shipping. Inspect and tighten the HEPA filter hold down nuts, which may have loosened during transportation.
ELECTRICAL RATING:
115V 3 Amps 60 HZ
FILTER SET-UP PROCEDURES
The Model #PS600 Air Cleaning unit is equipped with three stages of filtration as follows:
#860958 1" Polyester Filter Pad (1ST Stage)
#860959 2" Pleated Filter (2nd Stage)
#862074 H.E.P.A. Filter (99.97% efficient @ 0.3 microns) (Final Stage)
The H.E.P.A. Filter is held in place by 4 nuts and 2 – hold down brackets.
Slide the brackets over the threaded mounting studs located on the inside
of the housing. Thread the nuts over the brackets and tighten securely with
a 1/2” wrench. Be sure these nuts & brackets are always tightened
securely on the frame of the HEPA filter to guarantee a tight seal with the
H.E.P.A. Filter and the filter frame of the unit. The air flow arrows on this
filter should always be directed towards the motor and blower assembly.
Always turn off and unplug unit when removing or replacing the H.E.P.A.
filter. (See Photo 1)
The 2" Pleated Filter should be set in front of the H.E.P.A. Filter. The air
flow arrows on this filter should always be directed towards the H.E.P.A.
Filter. (See Photo 2)
The 1" Polyester Filter Pad should be placed in the door frame of the unit.
Close the hinged door of the unit and snap the latches into the locked
position...Unit is ready for use. (See Photo 3 & 4)
An optional Carbon Filter can be used to help control odors.
Simply replace the #860959 – 2” Pleated Filter with #860960 – 2” Carbon
Filter (sold separately).
FILTER MAINTENANCE
When performing filter maintenance always wear proper personal protective equipment and clothing. Always follow safe
working practices including proper disposal and handling of used filters in accordance with all federal, state and local
regulations.
The model #PS600 Air Cleaning unit is equipped with a Filter-Monitor gauge. This gauge is located on the control panel of
the unit. When gauge reads 2" or higher (in highest speed position), filter maintenance is required and the following steps
should be taken:
1. Change the 1" Polyester Filter pad (this filter cannot be cleaned or reused. Dispose of Properly)
2. Close cabinet door and turn unit on.. If gauge continues to read 2" (in highest speed position) or higher go to step #3
3. Change the 2" Pleated Filter (this filter cannot be cleaned or reused. Dispose of Properly)
4. Close cabinet door with all filters in proper position. Turn unit on. If gauge continues to read 2” or higher (in highest
speed position), the H.E.P.A. Filter must be replaced. (This filter cannot be cleaned or reused. Dispose of Properly)
NOTE: FILTERS SHOULD BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY IF TORN OR DAMAGED.
USE OF ANY OTHER FILTERS THAN ORIGINAL NIKRO REPLACEMENT PARTS VOIDS THE PRODUCT
WARRANTY AND PERFORMANCE CLAIMS
TO AVOID CROSS CONTAMINATION CHANGE ALL FILTERS AFTER EVERY REMEDIATION JOB AND CLEAN
ENTIRE UNIT THOROUGHLY BEFORE REMOVING IT FROM THE CONTAINMENT AREA.

BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT
1. Inspect cord and plug for damage.
2. Visually inspect the HEPA Filter for damage, punctures or tears. If you are operating in or exhausting into a highly
sensitive area it is strongly recommended that this unit is independently tested to assure proper filtration
efficiencies.
3. Inspect and tighten the HEPA filter hold down nuts, which may have loosened during transportation of the unit.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING UNIT
1. Always handle this unit with care. Rough handling such as dropping, or tipping over the unit, bouncing around in a
vehicle, and impact from rolling over or off of curbs, stairs and other platforms, could cause serious damage to
this unit.
2. Always clean and decontaminate unit before storing it. Store this unit indoors in a dry location.

CLEAN AIR EXHAUST DISCHARGE
This portable air scrubber allows the operator to connect a 12”
exhaust hose to the unit allowing for remote or controlled exhausting
and/or to create a controlled negative pressure in a contained area.
Simply connect a 12” hose (#860243) to the 12” exhaust flange
located on the back/exhaust end of unit and extend the hose to the
desired area you wish to exhaust to.
AIR INTAKE FLANGE
This scrubber also has an air intake flange, which allows the operator
to connect a 12” hose and place the open end of the hose in a
contaminated area and the air scrubber in another remote area.
