INSTRUCTIONS
(Instructions are general for all DV Models. Some of the below information may not pertain to your specific
model. Check list above for parts and accessories that go with your particular machine):
IMPORTANT!
• Remove red plastic protective end caps from both ends of the machine prior to use.
• Static is the #1 enemy of sensitive electronic equipment causing breakdowns of systems,
destroying hardware, memory boards, and software. Static is caused by friction due to dry weather,
walking on carpeted areas, etc.
• The DATAVAC 3, Electrostatic Discharge Safe, HEPA Vacuum, eliminates the potential hazards of
static by attaching the “ESD” safe hose and “ESD” attachments to the power unit.
• Then, by attaching the “Techni-Stat” grounding wrist strap, the user is grounded to the machine,
further insuring that zero static discharge can take place.
• HEPA Filtration System is 99.99% efficient at filtering particles down to .3 microns, perfect for clean
room applications, or fine dust environments.
HEPA filtration includes paper disposable bag, permanent cloth bag, filter plus HEPA. To protect
your motor, and for maximum efficiency and log life, dispose of the used paper bag. Frequently
check the permanent cloth bag for dust/dirt buildup and caking. Shake out the permanent cloth bag
frequently. Check and replace the foam filter and HEPA filter 3 to 4 times a year.
HEPA filter as new will be white; once it turns grey, it needs to be replaced or airflow efficiency
decreases.
CAUTION: If your machine has suction but does not clean when the hose is attached, remove the
hose from the suction end and place it on the blower end. Blow out the hose, it may be clogged.
