[. . . ] It is the responsibility of the end user to comply with all of the applicable procedures mandated for the specific material that is being handled. Proper disposal must also comply with local environmental and safety procedures. Checking Phase Rotation of the Vacuum: The first and most important step in using the Safe-Pak is to make sure the rotation of the motor is correct so that the vacuum will draw air into the inlet rather than blowing air out. WARNING: It is important to check this rotation prior to each use of the Safe-Pak. Any collected debris within the Safe-Pak could be blown out of the container if the rotation of the vacuum motor is incorrect. [. . . ] Once this has been completed, check the rotation of the vacuum once again to be sure this has been done correctly. Installing Retrofit Hardware for Safe-PakTM Container: Installing the Safe-Pak into your CFM Model 3156 vacuum may require some additional hardware in order to work properly. If you purchased this Safe-Pak and the 3156 vacuum at the same time, this hardware has been installed at the factory. If this is the case the Safe­Pak is ready to be installed into your 3156 vacuum. If you have purchased the Safe-Pak previously, you should have already gone through the steps of installing the retrofit hardware into your vacuum. If you have previously purchased a 3156 vacuum and have not used the Safe-Pak with it before, then you should have received some additional components with the Safe-Pak as part of a kit that will allow the operator to install these components into the 3156 machine. The additional components to retrofit a 3156 for use with a Safe-Pak include two washers and an inlet plug. The washers are designed to elevate the plate (Photo 5) on which the Safe-Pak will sit. It may be necessary to elevate the Safe-Pak so that it will seat up against the housing of the vacuum. This will prevent any air leakage, allowing the vacuum to perform at it's peak level and draw in the maximum amount of air. Photo 4 Check how well the Safe-Pak seals against the vacuum housing by placing the Safe-Pak on the plate pictured in Photo 5. The plate is raised by turning the black lever (Photo 6) in a counterclockwise direction. Make sure the perimeter of the Safe-Pak lines up with the perimeter of the vacuum housing. While turning the lever in the counterclockwise direction, you should feel some resistance at about the 1 o'clock position. You should be able to continue rotating the lever past the 12 o'clock position until it comes to a stop at about the 11 o'clock position. Check to see if there are any gaps between the perimeter of the SafePak and the vacuum housing. You might also want to check for any air leakage by turning the vacuum on and feeling for leaks around the perimeter of the Safe-Pak. If there are any significant gaps or leaks around the Safe-Pak, you may want to add one or two washers as spacers to raise the level of the plate in order to get a tighter seal with the Safe-Pak. Photo 5 Photo 6 To install the washers simply remove the plate by unscrewing the bolt from the center of the plate. To add height to the shaft, the washers need to be placed on top of the shaft as pictured in Photo 8. The original bolt must be put back in place to fasten the plate and washers to the shaft. [. . . ] To remove it you simply depress the button on the orifice to relieve the tension and pull the plug out of the orifice. Photo 8 Photo 9 This completes the installation of the retrofit hardware needed for the Safe-Pak. If you intend to use the 3156 for applications other than in conjunction with the Safe-Pak, you must completely remove the washers used to raise the elevation of the plate pictured in Photo 5. Once this has been done, the original collection container supplied with the machine can replace the location of the SafePak. Once this has been completed, you will be able to use your 3156 for standard cleaning applications. [. . . ]
