charge for the maintenance must wear
appropriate protective clothing.

possible.
The old filter must be disposed of in a special plastic
bag.

away the filter if it is soiled with toxic dust or harmful
materials. The filter must be handed over to the
authorities in possession of the necessary permission
to dispose of such waste. When replacing the main filter

retaining ring, and mount them on to the new filter.
