Replacement Filters 

# FCS000001, FCS162503

Proper filter cleaning should not be neglected as a 

dirty filter can significantly affect your BenchTop DC's 

performance. There are two filters in the unit that need to 

be replaced or cleaned regularly. If you notice that filters 

appear heavily soiled when you replace them, you should 

consider changing them more frequently. Many factors 

can affect how quickly filters get dirty.
Disassembly and Cleaning 

1.  WEAR A DUST MASK AND EYE PROTECTION.
2.  Turn off and unplug the BenchTop DC and wait for the Fan 

Assembly to come to a complete stop and for the dust to 

settle.

3.  Unlatch the two draw latches and slide the Frame Assembly 

(E) out and away from the Fan Assembly (B).  

4.  Remove the Pre-Filter (D) and Main Filter (C) by gently 

pushing the Pre-Filter out and away from the Frame 

Assembly.  

5.  Check to make sure both filters are in good condition with 

no torn media or cracks or tears. For best performance, we 

highly recommend that you replace the Main Filter when 

it becomes too clogged to allow for adequate airflow. (See 

Recommended Accessories page 14 for the replacement 

filter part.) 

6.  The Main Filter can be cleaned by placing it into a plastic 

bag and lightly tapping the filter onto the floor. Dirt and 

debris will fall away from the filter for disposal. Attempting 

to clean the filter with a vacuum or air compressor may 

damage the filter media. The Main Filter is NOT washable.

7.  Rinse the Pre-Filter with water. The airflow of the Pre-Filter 

is bidirectional and can be rinsed in either direction. Do 

NOT use a high pressure nozzle or a power washer. 

8.  To speed up drying time, either air dry or blow excess water 

off the Pre-Filter using a hand-held, compressed air nozzle 

with a pressure between 30 to 60 PSI. 

9.  Dry Pre-Filter prior to returning it to service. It is NOT 

recommended to dry at temperatures above 225°F (107°C). 

The Pre-filter must be absolutely dry before re-use. Allow 

at least 24 hours of drying time. Protect the Pre-filter from 

dust during the drying process.
