This can cause dangerous fumes to flow back through the unit.

The EXHAUSTEX 1000 can be plugged into any standard 110v receptacle. The convenience outlet provide on the unit is for a cleaning gun or inspection light only.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The EXHAUSTEX 1000 should be switched on using the master switch located on top of the unit. Place the item to be cleaned on the cleaning screen and conduct the cleaning operation. The unit should be left running during and after the cleaning process, to ensure that all the chemical is evaporated. It is safe to leave the unit running for extended periods of time, as the motor has a built in cooling fan.

Never use this unit for any other purpose other than that of an exhaust station for spot cleaning. It is not an air cleaner and does not provide a source of clean air.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

4. Using a long screw driver scrape the lint build up off each blade of the blower.

5. Place a trash bag over the exhaust duct and hold it on with your hand.

6. Temporarily plug the unit back in and switch on until all of the lint has been blown out of the unit.

7. Disconnect the unit from the power and reattach the hose.

Never place anything in the exhaust duct while the unit is running
