The Minuteman Model X380-15 Hospital Vacuum is a wet/dry recovery vacuum and comes equipped with a H.E.P.A.
(High Efficiency Particulate Air) or a U.L.P.A. (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filter and pre-filters which reduce the
incidence of airborne dust and bacteria that would be created by any other method of cleaning.
Do not, at any time, attempt to bypass, remove, substitute, or by any other means change the filters used in this
vacuum. Use only Minuteman filters and prefilters for replacements.
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.
Since each facility has its own individual and unique cleaning problems, it is suggested that you check with your
housekeeping supervisor to determine the length of time between filter changes and disposal of debris.
(Refer to “Dry Pickup Assembly”)
