Scheppach Lamellar HEPA Filter for SprayVac20 Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner

Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of your Scheppach Lamellar HEPA Filter, model 7905701701. This filter is specifically designed for use with the Scheppach SprayVac20 wet/dry vacuum cleaner. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and use to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your filter and vacuum cleaner.

Safety Instructions

• Always unplug the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet before installing, removing, or cleaning the filter.
• Ensure the filter is correctly seated and secured before operating the vacuum cleaner to prevent dust leakage and maintain suction efficiency.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without a filter, as this can damage the motor and reduce air quality.
• Handle the filter with care to avoid damage to the lamellae (pleats). Damaged filters may not perform effectively.
• Keep the filter away from open flames or excessive heat sources.

Product Overview

The Scheppach Lamellar HEPA Filter (model 7905701701) is a high-efficiency particulate air filter designed to capture fine dust and debris during both wet and dry vacuuming operations with the SprayVac20. Its lamellar (pleated) design provides a large surface area for effective filtration, contributing to cleaner exhaust air and protecting the vacuum cleaner's motor.

Setup and Installation

1. Prepare the Vacuum Cleaner: Ensure the Scheppach SprayVac20 vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power supply. Open the vacuum cleaner's housing and remove the motor head.
2. Remove Old Filter (if applicable): If a filter is already installed, carefully remove it. Dispose of the old filter according to local regulations.
3. Install New Filter: Place the new Scheppach Lamellar HEPA Filter onto the filter cage or motor unit, ensuring it sits firmly and evenly. The rubber seal of the filter should create a tight fit against the vacuum cleaner's housing to prevent air bypass.
4. Secure the Motor Head: Carefully place the motor head back onto the vacuum cleaner housing, ensuring all latches or clamps are securely fastened.
5. Check for Proper Seating: Before plugging in the vacuum, visually inspect that the filter is correctly installed and the vacuum cleaner is fully assembled.

Note: For wet vacuuming, this lamellar filter can remain installed. However, for optimal performance and to prevent premature clogging, it is recommended to clean the filter thoroughly after wet use or to use a foam filter specifically designed for wet applications if available for your model.

Operating Considerations

Once installed, the lamellar HEPA filter functions automatically during vacuum cleaner operation. Its primary role is to filter dust and debris from the air drawn into the vacuum. For effective operation, ensure the filter is clean and undamaged. A clogged filter will reduce suction power and may lead to overheating of the vacuum motor.

• Dry Vacuuming: The filter is essential for capturing fine dust, allergens, and other dry particles.
• Wet Vacuuming: This filter is suitable for wet vacuuming. However, after wet use, it is crucial to allow the filter to dry completely before dry vacuuming again to prevent mold growth and maintain filtration efficiency.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your filter ensures consistent performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning the Filter

1. Remove Filter: Unplug the vacuum cleaner and remove the filter as described in the "Setup and Installation" section.
2. Tap Clean: Gently tap the filter against a hard surface (e.g., a trash can) to dislodge loose dust and debris. Perform this outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
3. Rinse (Optional, for heavy dirt): For heavily soiled filters, you may rinse it under cool running water. Do not use hot water or harsh detergents. Ensure all dirt is removed from the pleats.
4. Dry Completely: If rinsed, allow the filter to air dry completely before reinstallation. This can take 24-48 hours depending on humidity. Do not use heat sources (e.g., hair dryer) to speed up drying, as this can damage the filter material.
5. Reinstall: Once completely dry, reinstall the filter into the vacuum cleaner.

Frequency: Clean the filter after every major use or when you notice a decrease in suction power. For frequent use, weekly cleaning is recommended. The filter is reusable.

Replacing the Filter

Even with regular cleaning, filters wear out over time. Replace the filter when you observe:

• Visible damage to the lamellae or rubber seal.
• Persistent reduction in suction power despite cleaning.
• Dust escaping from the vacuum cleaner's exhaust.
• A noticeable odor during operation.

Use only genuine Scheppach replacement filters (model 7905701701) to ensure compatibility and maintain performance.
