Safe debris removal
Principle of Operation
If the unit is used to collect hazadous debris, a second HEPA
filtered vacuum (Support Vacuum) can be used to safely re-
move the debris out of the unit. It is recommended that the
Support Vacuum (A) have a 1-1/2 in vacuum hose.
If this vacuum is used to collect hazardous material, appro-
priate personal protective equipment may be required.
The vacuum should be emptied when half full or when dust
accumulation in the vacuum degrades performance.
1. Safe the Vacuum
• Disconnect the compressed air source from the vacuum.
• Disconnect the vacuum hose.
2. Connect the Support Vacuum (A)
• Activate the support vacuum.
• Hold the end of the Support Vacuum Hose (A) over the
Vacuum Inlet (C).
3. Connect the Support Vacuum
• Tilt the Scorpion onto its side to help the debris flow to the
vacuum inlet (C).
• Continue to tilt and lightly shake the unit until all of the de-
bris has been removed from the canister (C).
Empty the vacuum
