Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance — if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Sketch A. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

Operation and Filter Care Instructions
The Minuteman Bio-Haz Vacuum has been specifically designed to clean up hazardous dust of all types. Special
filters reduce the incidence of airborne dust that would be created by any other method of cleaning.
• During the removal of hazardous dust, do not sweep, scoop, shovel, or in any manner handle other than by
vacuuming.
• Do not at any time attempt to bypass, remove, substitute or by any other means change the filters used in this
vacuum.
• Use only approved Minuteman Bio-Haz Vacuum filters and filter bags.
• Before attempting to use and before cleaning, be certain that you fully understand the instructions given
for the setting up or cleaning/changing of filters of this vacuum.
Each facility has its own individual and unique cleaning problems, it is suggested that you use the following:
Tank/Filter Set-Up Procedure
1. Fully open the plastic bag and place it down into the tank on the underside of the intake tube as shown.
2. Take the paper bag that has the cardboard collar attached and open it up by gently pulling the folds apart.
3. You will notice two creases on the top side of the collar; carefully bend the ends down (toward) the bag.
4. Insert this bag into the tank and push it to the bottom, taking care not to snag the plastic bag.
5. Locate the cardboard collar around the intake tube and gently work it up past the raised ring that runs around
6. Push the plastic bag down past the paper bag; position it about 1/2 to 2/3 down past the top of the bag.
7. Starting at the bottom of the cloth filter, slip the paper filter protector over the entire cloth filter until the elastic
8. Ensure that the inside steel frame that supports the cloth filter is inserted into the tank with the cut out section

facing the front of the down tube. Then insert the cloth filter and paper filter protector inside the tank. Be careful
not to rip the paper filter protector when pushing the cloth filter with steel frame into the tank.
U.L.P.A. filter will go down inside the cloth filter. Make sure that the motor lid is seated onto the ring of the cloth
filter frame completely around the tank.
For proper cleaning of the tank and removal/changing of the filters, see “Procedures in Removing Contaminated
Filters and Cleaning of Contaminated Tank.”
Procedures In Removing Contaminated Filters and Cleaning of Contaminated Tank
Always wear a facemask and gloves when conducting this procedure.
1. Unplug the machine from the power source.
2. Carefully and slowly unlatch the tank latches and remove the vacuum lid only (be sure when you lift up on the
lid that the cloth filter stays inside the tank.) Set the lid with U.L.P.A. filter assembly aside.
3. Gently remove the cloth and paper filter protector from the tank. Carefully place the paper and cloth filter into a
plastic bag. With one hand grab the bottom of the paper filter protector through the plastic bag and with the
other hand release the elastic band from around the cloth filter frame. Slide the cloth filter out of the paper bag.
Set the cloth filter and frame aside.
4. Before closing up the plastic bag with the used paper filter inside, check the prefilter attached to the U.L.P.A.
filter for any noticeable dirt. The impact filter should be changed every other time you change the paper filter or
if any dirt particles are noticed during inspection. Then the used prefilter can also be put into the plastic bag
before sealing up for disposal. See “Changing the Black Foam Prefilter”, for more information.
5. Carefully surround the paper debris bag with the plastic bag in the bottom of the tank. Pull the opening of the
plastic bag securely around the down tube with one hand. This plastic bag will completely encapsulate the
debris bag. Push downward on the debris bag on the debris bag’s cardboard collar until it slips off of the
downtube.

(Cont’d) Procedures In Removing Contaminated Filters and Cleaning of Contaminated Tank
6. Slowly pull the top of the plastic bag upwards. When you have the plastic bag fully extended upwards, slowly
squeeze the plastic bag closed to avoid trapping excess air. Twist the plastic bag until enough plastic can be tied
into a knot.
7. Lift the bag out of the tank and dispose of it properly.
8. Before inserting another plastic bag and paper debris bag, take a wet paper towel and wipe out the inside of the
tank of any dirt contaminate. Put this inside the plastic bag along with the used paper filter protector and
prefilter. This plastic bag should also be twisted shut, tied into a knot and disposed of properly.
9. To help prolong the life of the U.L.P.A. filter, a spare cloth filter should be interchanged with the existing cloth
filter. Vacuum out when there is any noticeable dirt or soil. The cloth bag can also be sprayed with a garden
hose from the inside out to remove any soil. Make sure that the cloth filter is completely dry before reinstalling
it into the vacuum.
10. CAUTION: Any hazardous materials must be disposed of properly. Never throw contaminated debris into you
usual trash receptacle. Place debris in a plastic bag or can marked “Hazardous Materials” and take to a
hazardous waste handler.
11. For proper assembly of new filters, see “Tank Filter Set Up Procedures.”
Changing The Black Foam Prefilter
The prefilter should be changed, using all of the precautions previously mentioned.
The prefilter should be changed when any of the following takes place:
1. Anytime there is an indication of a filter tear during normal operation of the unit. This tear could be in any of the
filters used.
a. paper dust containment bag
b. paper bag protector
c. cloth filter bag
These tears would show up during the tank clean-out procedure, or....
2. Every other tank clean-out period. To change the prefilter, do the following before you do S tep #3 of the normal
clean-out procedure.
a. Wipe down all of the exposed surfaces on the underside of the removed lid, using the dampened wiping
cloth.
b. Remove the prefilter from the high efficiency filter. Be careful so as not to damage or puncture the U.L.P.A.
media used in the final filter. Do not attempt to clean the prefilter in any way; dispose of by placing it into the
tank you are now in the process of cleaning. DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS TO REMOVE THE PREFILTER.
d. Before proceeding any further in cleaning the tank, first place a new prefilter (one only) onto the U.L.P.A.
filter.

Changing Of Prefilters
In order to prolong the efficiency and performance of the critical filter it is recommended that each
pre-filter, debris bag and paper filter protector be changed every time the debris bag is full. Change
the foam prefilter every second time or if a bag breaks or tears. Follow the manual for bag
replacement.
Whenever the vacuum is in operation or being emptied, the operator should be wearing protective
clothing and respirator for protection.
All used pre-filters and debris bags should be handled and disposed of in accordance with federal
E.P.A. regulations.
