MAINTENANCE
Filter care
The filters are not self-cleaning and must be maintained / cleaned / replaced as described below. Proper filter
care is essential for the effective operation of your AirBench. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer for advice.
When changing filters, the seals on which the filters sit should be checked for damage and replaced if
necessary.
All filters should be regularly checked for wear, damage, or by-passing.
When completing filter maintenance activities these should be recorded in the accompanying log sheet.
Take precautions and wear appropriate PPE when handing filters.
They may contain hazardous dusts.
i
If using a vacuum cleaner to empty filters, excessive cleaning will reduce filter life.
Remove excess dust only.
FILTER ACCESS
Filters are accessed by turning the quarter turn latches on the front cover to loosen and opening the hinged
panel. The filters should then be lifted slightly to break adhesion to the filter seals, and can now be slid forward
to remove.
Filters can also be accessed for cleaning by lifting the top surface (taking care as these surfaces may have
sharp edges).
Surfaces can be heavy and have sharp edges.
Wear appropriate hand protection.
