1. General information
You have acquired a high-quality industrial vacuum. We hope that it will serve you for a long time,
and so we ask you to use and maintain the device properly.
In this manual, we describe the operation and maintenance procedures for the Hurricane 41 and
43 vacuums. Please read the instructions carefully before using the device to ensure that your
vacuum is working correctly and is safe to use.
After you have received the device, check that the unit has not been damaged in transit, and that
you have received all the accessories included in your order. If you discover any issues or
deficits, please notify the seller immediately, or within eight days at the latest.
1.2 Properties
The vacuum's filtration system consists of: a coarse waste emptying container, a silicone-
impregnated polyester fabric filter bag, and a disposable bag for placing inside it.
NOTE!
NOTE!
This vacuum may only be used for vacuuming dry dust and debris. Do not
use the vacuum behind a floor sander without a Tetratex filter.
1.3 General safety information
Please observe the following safety instructions when using your Hurricane
industrial vacuum:
•Do not use the vacuum in areas where explosive or flammable gases or substances are
present.
•Do not use the vacuum to suck up glowing hot or heated material (such as ash
or dust).
•Always unplug the vacuum before servicing it.
•When vacuuming, be careful not to get the suction tube close to sensitive areas of the
body (eyes, mouth, ears).
•Do not vacuum in the rain or under splashing water.
2. Using the device
Before using the vacuum, CHECK that:
•the voltage available to you is the same as that required by the vacuum.
•the electrical socket, the vacuum's power cord and the plug are intact.
NOTE! The noise level of the Hurricane 41 industrial vacuum is 63 dB(A).
The noise level of the Hurricane 43 industrial vacuum is 65 dB(A).
Turn the vacuum on using the switch next to the push bar. Make sure that
the filters are placed properly in the vacuum, and that they're intact if
previously used. Make sure to regularly check that the coarse debris
container hasn't overfilled. When you notice the suction power in your
vacuum decreasing, it's a sign that the coarse waste container or disposable
dust bag is full.
2.1 In-service maintenance
The following sections describe maintenance procedures that should be performed frequently
to ensure a long service life for your vacuum. The accumulated debris and dirt should be
cleaned off the vacuum from time to time.
NOTE! Whenever you empty or service the vacuum, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet.

NOTE!

2.2 Emptying the debris container and changing the dust bag
The filling of the vacuum's filter unit and debris container should be
checked often enough and, if necessary, to establish a sufficiently frequent
emptying interval for them.
Start emptying the debris container by opening the suction cover's
mounting latches and lifting the suction cover off.
Once the suction lid has been lifted off, the debris container can be lifted
out and emptied of accumulated coarse debris.
Remove the support ring from the debris container; after that you can take
the dust bag out and replace it with a new empty one.
2.3 Filter maintenance
The accumulated dust and dirt should be cleaned off the vacuum and its
filters after each use and if needed, replace the filters. We recommend
checking the condition of the filter whenever you're emptying the debris
container and replacing the dust bag. If the filter is damaged, replace it with
a new one.
The highest suction power is achieved by using a clean filter, which also
reduces the wear and tear on the vacuum. The filter can be washed in
water at max 40o. Keeping the filter clean significantly extends its life.
NOTE! Never use a filter when it's still wet or damp after
washing!
NOTE! Never use the device without a filter in place
3. Periodic maintenance and spare parts
Depending on the operating conditions, the device requires regular servicing and periodic
maintenance. The frequency (sufficient extent) of maintenance should be assessed and
checked until the correct maintenance interval is found.
•The service checks the condition of the device's filters and equipment and takes
care of cleaning the device.
•When inspecting the filter, make sure to remove any dirt and debris that may have
accumulated on the bottom of the tank.
•If the felt filter is dirty, it should be cleaned by brushing, blowing with compressed air, or
washing if necessary.
•If necessary, replace the filter with a new one (if the filter is worn, broken or clogged).
•The fiber dust bag should always be replaced with a new one when the vacuum is emptied.
NOTE! Use only high-quality original Eurovac filters and spare parts, as imitations
may lead to breakage of the vacuum and void the warranty.

5. HEPA filter cartridge installation
The HEPA filter cartridge for Hurricane 41 and 43
vacuums is installed in the exhaust air outlet of the
suction motor.
To start installing a HEPA filter, remove the
current filter by turning it counterclockwise
(Figure 1).
The protective housing of the HEPA filter
cartridge is inserted into the exhaust air outlet
(Figure 2) and tightened in place with the nuts of
the hinge connector (Figure 3).
The HEPA filter cartridge can be replaced by unscrewing the
nut on the filter cover (Figure 4) and lifting the safety net off.
