Hey Old Jag. Does your Boyer Schultz have the dust collector in the
base? I need instructions on getting to the vacuum motor and also how
to get the filter out to clean it.

I got into the vacuum motor on a Boyar Schultz dust collector base a
few years ago. The motor is accessed from the front of the cabinet.
But firsr you must remove all the filter elements. The motor is in
the rear corner.
And a Boyar Schultz service man cautioned me NOT to wash the filter
bags, as that would remove the fire retardent chemicals in the
filters.

How do you get the filters out of the way? I couldn't see how they
were released.

Someone painted my machine, so things on the base don't come apart
easily - does the roundish cover on the back come off to expose
anything of interest in taking apart the vacuum motor / blower? If
it's supposed to come off, I've got to figure out how to pull it since
it's painted (glued) now to the rest of the base.
