FILTER REPLACEMENT

WARNING
Take necessary precautions so
that you and your fellow workers
are not overexposed to particulate.
Wear suitable personal protection
equipment, such as gloves, respi-
rator, eye glass and protective
clothing when disposing of the fil-
ter and particulate.
Check with local waste management or local
agency(ies) for assistance in the disposal of filter.
If filter has collected certain types of particulate
which local agencies define as hazardous waste,
filter may be classified as hazardous waste and will
need to be disposed in accordance with federal,
state and local regulations - which could vary from
state to state, and between local municipalities
within the state.
