INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PAGE 2

TEST FOR GROUND CONTINUITY BEFORE EACH USE
Test for ground continuity before each use:
a)The compressed airline supplied with the A15EXP machine is impregnated with
carbon for the purpose of transferring static charge to an earth ground source.
Check to insure that there is electrical conductivity between the body of the vacuum
and the hose fitting attached to the compressed airline.
b) Connect the conductive, collection hose to the inlet of the stainless steel
tank and check to insure that there is electrical conductivity between
end of the hose and the tank inlet.
NOTE: This vacuum must be connected to an earth ground source. If the vacuum
cleaner should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
For added safety, an auxiliary grounding clamp has been included with the machine.
WARNING: If unacceptable results are recorded, DO NOT OPERATE THE CLEANER.
Using the tester, check for continuity between each connection of the vacuum
cleaner (example: tool to wand, wand to hose, hose to machine, etc) If the problem
can not be corrected refer the unit to an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER ONLY.
WARNING: Insure that the conductive, polyester filter assembly (#25, #26, #27, page 9)
is properly mounted inside the recovery tank. If not, refer to the instructions for
“Replacing the Main Filter” (page 6).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PAGE 3
“Replacing the Main Filter” (page 6).
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO CONTAINER GASKETS
If you suspect the gasket between the Venturi power-head and the filter
chamber is not sealing properly:
1. Loosen latch screws "A" and slide latch downward.
2. Tighten latch screws.
3. Turn on the unit and inspect the seal between the Venturi power-head
and filter chamber.
4. Replace the gasket if the seal continues to leak.
If you suspect the gasket between the filter chamber and the
collection can is not sealing properly:
1. Loosen the screws "A" that lock filter chamber "B" against
the vacuum structure.
2. Lower filter chamber "B" slightly and retighten screws "A".
3. Turn on the unit and inspect the seal between the filter
chamber and the collection can.
4. Replace the gasket if the seal continues to leak.
4. Replace the gasket if the seal continues to leak.

USING THE VACUUM
CAUTION:
OPERATORS SHOULD TEST THE VACUUM MACHINE .
FOR GROUND CONTINUITY BEFORE EACH USE
WARNING
: A HEPA FILTER MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE VACUUM MACHINE
WHILE WORKING WITH HAZARDOUS MATERIAL.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL EXPOSE PEOPLE IN THE WORK
AREA AND OTHERS TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WHICH
IS A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK.
EMPTYING:
IF THIS VACUUM CLEANER IS USED TO COLLECT HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR EMPTY ITS CONTENTS
WITHOUT PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION. ALL DISPOSED FILTERS, BAGS, DEBRIS SHOULD
BE TREATED AS A HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE AND MUST BE
DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE
AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
WARNING:
THIS EQUIPMENT IS INTENDED FOR EXPLOSION-PROOF/DUST-IGNITION PROOF
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PAGE 4
OPERATION,ONLY IF USED WITH SUPPLIED OR RECOMMENDED
HOSE AND TOOLS. ANY ALTERATION TO THIS EQUIPMENT BY
A THIRD PARTY WILL NULLIFY ITS WARRANTY.

USING THE VACUUM:STARTING AND STOPPING
1.Fit the accessories on suction inlet "A".

CLEANING THE MAIN FILTER
If the performance of the vacuum cleaner decreases during
use, it may be necessary to clean the primary filter:
1. Turn off the vacuum and disconnect the vacuum from
2
its power source.
2. Actuate the filter shaker "A" (Figure 2) by raising
and lowering the lever.
3. Repeat this several times to shake the dirt from the
primary filter.
4. Wait a few minutes for the dust to settle at the bottom
of the container.
5. Empty the container
EMPTYING THE CONTAINER
1. Turn off the vacuum and disconnect the
vacuum from its power source.
2. Detach container "A" (Figure 3) by lifting
the handle.
3. Slide the container out from the machine

2. Raise one side of the filter and reach down under the filter
with one hand to remove split pin "D". This will release
3
the filter shaker lever "E" from the filter ring "F" (Figure 5).
3. Lift up of the filter and cut the ties (G) that attach the filter
to the ring "F"(Figure 5).
4. Unscrew clamp "H" and remove the upper ring "I" (Figure 4).

supplied in the new filter kit (Figure 5).
7. Place the new filter assembly inside the filter chamber and
reconnect the assembly using the split pin "D" (Figure 5).
8. Mount the suction unit "B" onto the machine and secure
5
in place with the latches "A" (Figure 3).
9. Dispose of the old filter in accordance with all federal,
state and local regulations.

REPLACING PARTS
REPLACING THE OPTIONAL (UPSTREAM) HEPA FILTER
1. Release the latches and remove the Venturi power-head
2. Separate disc "A" from gasket "B" and remove
disc/filter assembly from the vacuum machine.
3. Loosen nut "C" and remove the HEPA filter "D".
4. Fit a new HEPA Filter onto Disc"A" and tighten
in place.
