This system assures you that fine powdery dust will not be blown back into the air you breathe or onto your furniture and carpets again. *Examine the Five Layers of Filtration in Your Tank Vacuum Circulating air lifts dust and dirt from your carpets and transports it through the hose to a 175 square inch double layer disposable paper bag (I)*. The second layer of the paper bag contains electrostatically charged fibers (2)*.The air passes through the double layered paper bag, depositing dirt and lint. It then passes into a finely woven cotton twill cloth bag (3) with 160 square inches. The air finally passes through a double-sided filter pad. The MICRO FRESH filter pad consists of an electrostatically charged fiber material (4) attached to a reticulated flexible urethane foam (5). When used as a system, the air expelled at the rear exhaust is over 99.9% "fresh. *Not included on all models. NOTE: Unplug Tank before changing filter. The filter pad is located between the fitter bag and tank mator. Check your filter pad periodically for dirt build-up. The filter pad should be changed at least every six months or when three paper bags have been used. TO INSTALL, remove front end bell and cloth bag. Drop filter into tank with white side facing towards you. Put cloth bag back into place. Attach front end bell and continue normal operation of your tank. =RkSfl] 'Replaceable FlLTRATION SYSTEM (optional) w / Paper Bags MICRO FRESH disposable paper bags are lined with electrostatically charged fibers that trap fine dust and pollen particles down to 0.1 microns in size. To remove and replace, see below. Enhance the performance of your tank vacuum with MICRO FRESH high filtration paper bags and filter pads. See an Authorized Royal Dealer, a participating retailer, or the enclosed quick parts mailer to purchase an assortment of MICRO FRESH products. *Not included on all models. PAPER BAG REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT NOTE: Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet for maintenance. Replace the paper bag when approximately one-half full. Set the tank on end with the exhaust vent (rear bell) on the floor. Grasp the bell clamps in each hand. Holding your hands toward the rear of the clamp, pull outward. Grasp the front end bell (the hose may still be connected), gently pull outward. Take care not to spill any dirt. Pull off paper bag and discard. The cloth bag in the tank does not always have to be removed for cleaning. If cleaning is required, remove the.bag and shake dirt into a suitable container. Replace with a new paper bag. Place the hole in the paper bag over the metal fitting inside the front end bell. Place the front end bell back onto the tank by sliding the paper bag into the tank. The chrome end plate must slide over the edges of the tank. hold in place and fasten the bell clamps to both sides. Clamps will "snap" into place when full seated. Continue normal operation of your vacuum cleaner. HOW TO USE YOUR TANK FOR BLOWING NOTE: Unplug tank before changing Hose Connection. (1)Simply connect the hose to the rear end bell of the tank instead of the front end bell. You'll be using the exhaust end instead of the suction end. (2)For Model 4600,be sure toggle switch is in blower position. You're ready to blowclean. Be conscious of where you'll be blowing the dust. Our suggestion is to always blow it toward a dampened sheet or towel which will trap the dust and not send it flying to the air. Then, you simply toss the "dusty" sheet or towel into your automatic washer for cleaning. Don't be concerned if the paper filter bag is not empty when you use the blower. The tank's MICRO FRESH Filtration System will entrap the dust and not allow it to recirculate during this use. When you finish using your Royal tank as a blower, unplug your tank and reconnect the hose to the front end bell for vacuum cleaning.
