ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM TO THE POWER SOURCE CHECK THAT THE
SUPPLIED VOLTAGE CORRESPONDS TO THAT
SPECIFIED ON THE NAMEPLATE OF THE MACHINE.
A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE
HAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
T
TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER
SOURCE.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This
tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes ad ordinances.
In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
This machine is for indoor use only. Do not expose
to rain or use in damp locations.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure . Figure
shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that
has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (Figure ) can
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
grounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded receptacle can
be installed by a qualified technician. The adapter
(Figure ) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of these adapters.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This machine must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension
cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
matching receptable which will accept the machine’s
plug.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THIS UNIT
The model 10-550 “PRO TURBO”air cleaner is designed to quietly and efficiently filter non-metallic airborne dust particles in the workshop. This unit is not a woodworking dust collector, but when used in conjunction with an adequate
and properly connected dust collector, this air cleaner can help to reduce the risks and health hazards associated
with airborne dust particles in the workshop and contribute to a cleaner, safer work environment for the user.
6
This machine is not designed to function as a replacement for a woodworking dust collector. A woodworking dust
collector is connected, normally via a dust hose, to woodworking machinery and draws sawdust and woodchips
directly from the source (such as a blade, bit or cutting tool) – this is a different and separate operation from the
ne performed by this machine.
o
THIS UNIT IS NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE PERSONAL BREATHING PROTECTION DEVICES SUCH AS RESPIRATORS OR
DUST MASKS.
TO ENSURE YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION YOU MUST CONTINUE TO USE PERSONAL BREATHING PROTECTION
DEVICES WHENEVER RECOMMENDED FOR THE OPERATION OR WORK BEING PERFORMED.
The 2-stage filtration system includes a high efficiency inner 3-pouch filter that can capture up to 85% of airborne
dust particles as small as 1 micron, and an outer pleated filter that can capture up to 98% of airborne dust particles
as small as 5 microns.
With a rated air movement capacity of 800 cubic feet per minute this unit will re-circulate and filter all of the air in
a 15’ x 20’ x 8’ room up to 20 times per hour.
THE 10-550 PRO TURBO AIR CLEANER IS DESIGNED TO CAPTURE SOLID, DRY, NON-METALLIC AIRBORNE DUST PARTICLES ONLY. IT IS NOT DESIGNED (AND CANNOT BE RETRO-FITTED) TO FILTER OR PROTECT THE USER FROM PAINT
FUMES OR OVERSPRAY, NOXIOUS, HAZARDOUS, OR HARMFUL CHEMICAL FUMES, VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
(V.O.C’S), OR FOUL, UNPLEASANT OR HARMFUL ORDERS.
Featuring continuous run or timer operation, including 1-15 hour timer settings, the unit can be programmed to run
and continue to filter dust particles that are suspended in the ambient air in the workshop for up to 15 hours (in
1 hour increments), after you have completed your work in the shop.
The 10-550 Pro Turbo air cleaner can be either ceiling mounted (additional hardware may be required) or set on a
table, workbench or floor.
PREPARATION & INSTALLATION BEFORE USING
CARRYING & HANDLING THE UNIT
The air cleaner weighs 68 LBS (approximately 31 kg) and can
be carried using the two lifting handles inset on the sides of the
cabinet.
Whenever lifting or carrying the air cleaner, do so with the filters
positioned away from the body to avoid damaging the filters
through unintentional contact with belt buckles and zippers.
REMOVING THE STYROFOAM BLOCKS
To help protect the interior components from damage during
transportation, styrofoam blocks were inserted at the factory,
above and below the fan housing inside of the cabinet.
BEFORE PLUGGING IN AND USING THE AIR CLEANER THESE
STYROFOAM BLOCKS MUST
BE REMOVED.

OPERATING THE INLINE ON/OFF SWITCH
The unit is equipped with an inline ON/Off switch located on the
power cord (Fig #9). To allow electrical current to flow into the
machine, plug in the power cord to an appropriate outlet, and
press the inline switch to the “On” position. Note: If desired, with
the switch on the main control panel (Fig #10) in the “On” position you can start or stop the machine by using the inline switch
on the power cord.
Fig. 9
OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL
With the unit plugged into an appropriate outlet and the inline switch on the power cord (Fig #9) in the “On” position, the power indicator light “PWR” (Fig. #10 – ) will light up, indicating the electrical current is flowing into the
machine.
The main On/Off button (Fig. #10 – ) on the control panel is used to turn the air cleaner on or off. When the unit is
on, the “Run” indicator (Fig. #10 – ) will also light up.
With the unit turned on in “Run” mode, pressing the “Timer” button (fig. #10 – ) activates the timer.
Note: the timer feature can only be activated when the unit is
turned on with the “Run” indicator lit. When the “Timer” button is
pressed once, the air cleaner will run for 1 hour. You can increase
the programmed run time, in 1 hour increments, with each successive push on the timer button.
When operating in timer mode, the appropriate timer indicator
light, or combination of lights, (Fig. #10 – ) will light up to show
the total number of hours for which the machine is set to run. The
machine will automatically stop running at the end of this programmed time period.
If desired, to cancel the timer setting before the completion of
the programmed time period, simply turn the unit off, using
either the main On/Off switch on the control panel or the inline
switch on the power cord.
Fig. 10

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Note: The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied).
The remote control offers the exact same On/Off, or 1 to15 hour
timer settings as the main control panel on the machine from
virtually anywhere in the shop within the line of sight of the
achine.
m
Note: For best results, point the remote control towards the control
panel on the air cleaner.
Note: Rather than unplugging after each use, the unit can be turned
off by using the on/off switch on the control panel or on the remote
control or by using the in-line switch on the power cord.
CLEANING & CHANGING AIR FILTERS
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MACHINE WHENEVER CHECKING OR CHANGING FILTERS.
Fig. 11
Regular inspection and periodic cleaning and/or changing the air filters will allow your air cleaner to function more
efficiently and effectively.
This air cleaner is equipped with a filter cleaning sensor with indicator light. When the sensor detects that the filters
need cleaning the “Clean Filter” indicator (Fig #10 – ) will light up. You will notice that the “Clean Filter” indicator
will light up more or less often depending on frequency and duration of use as well as shop dust conditions. To
maintain maximum efficiency of your air cleaner, make sure to inspect and clean (or replace) both of the air filters
each time the “Clean Filter” indicator lights up.
Note: In some extreme cases such as industrial uses or in very dusty environments it may be necessary to clean the filters
as often as once per week. In such cases consider adding a second unit to the shop with each unit installed at opposite
ends of the shop. This will help to increase overall filtration efficiency, prolong the life of the filters and limit the need for
frequent filter cleanings.
NEVER OPERATE THIS AIR CLEANER UNLESS BOTH FILTERS ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED IN THE MACHINE.
WHEN CLEANING THE FILTERS, IT IS RECOMENDED THAT IT BE DONE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA WITH PROPER
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
To avoid potentially costly down time, consider keeping a spare set of replacement filters on hand and nearby for
use when needed. Order a spare replacement filter as soon as you take your spare “back-up” filter out of storage
and put it into use. Replacement filters can be ordered through your local General International dealer/distributor.
OUTER “PLEATED” FILTER (PART #10-560)
Note: If you notice the “Clean Filter” indicator lighting up more
often than usual without any major changes in operating frequency or shop dust conditions, this is a sign that the filters are becoming “saturated” with dust and are reaching the end of their useful
life. In such cases, replace the outer pleated filter with a new one
and if necessary replace the inner 3-pouch filter also. As a rough
guideline, the inner pouch filter will require replacement once, for
every three out filter replacements.
DO NOT OPERATE WITH A DAMAGED FILTER. REPLACE ANY
FILTERS THAT SHOW VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE SUCH AS
TEARS, PUNCTURES OR PERFORATIONS IMMEDIATELY.
10
1. Turn off and unplug the machine from the power source and if necessary lower the machine from its mounting
ooks and place it on a table or bench for easier access.
h
. Gently remove the Outer “Pleated” Filter by slightly lifting then pulling the filter out at an angle.
2
3. Inspect and clean as needed by holding the filter over a garbage can or inside of a plastic bag and shaking. A
soft long bristled brush can also be used to gently remove the dust from the filter. Take care not to damage filter
when handling.
Note: Do not wash or use water to clean the filter and do not use an air gun, vacuum or other “aggressive” methods which
can damage or open up the filter pores.
. Re-install the filter remembering that the airflow direction arrow on the filter should be pointing towards the front
4
of the machine.
INNER “THREE POUCH” FILTER (PART #10550-30)
This air cleaner is equipped with a filter cleaning sensor with
indicator light. When the sensor detects that the filters need
cleaning the “Clean Filter” indicator (Fig. #10 – ) will light up.
You will notice that the “Clean Filter” indicator will light up more
or less often depending on frequency and duration of use as
well as shop dust conditions. To maintain maximum efficiency
of your air cleaner, make sure to inspect and clean (or replace)
both of the air filters each time the “Clean Filter” indicator lights
up.
1. Turn off and unplug the machine from the power source and if necessary lower the machine from its mounting
hooks and place it on a table or bench for easier access.
2. To access the inner filter, first remove the outer pleated filter by slightly lifting then pulling the filter out at an angle,
then do the same with the Inner “Three Pouch” Filter.
3. Inspect and clean as needed by holding the filter upside down over a garbage can or inside of a plastic bag
and shaking. A soft long bristled brush can also be used to gently remove the dust from the filter. Take care not
to damage the filter when handling.
Note: Do not wash or use water to clean the filter and do not use an air gun, vacuum or other “aggressive” methods
which can damage or open up the filter pores.
4. Re-install the filter with the pouches facing in towards the front of the machine.
5. After the filters have been cleaned (or replaced) and then re-installed, press the “reset” button on the main
control panel (Fig. #10 – ) to reset the filter cleaning sensor.
6. If necessary, reinstall to overhead or ceiling supports. Reconnect to the power source.
Note: If you notice that the Inner “Three Pouch” Filter is accumulating more dust faster than usual it may be a sign that the
Outer filter is damaged and in need of replacement.
OPTIONAL ELECTROSTATIC FILTER (PART #10-565)
An optional electrostatic outer filter can be ordered through
your local General International dealer/distributor. This
Electrostatic Filter (part #10-565) replaces the regular Outer
“Pleated” Filter and provides the same level of filtration with the
added bonus of being washable with water or cleaned using a
vacuum and requires replacement less often. For more information on the Electrostatic Filter please contact your local
General International distributor.
Note: Although the Electrostatic Filter can be washed and vacuumed, it should not be cleaned using an air gun.
