FILTRATION SYSTEM
There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum.
There are cage filters that install onto the underside of
the tank cover and tank filters that install into the tank.
The filters are grouped into three filtration categories.
General filtration is used for large debris, such as wood
chips, nails and gravel. Medium filtration is used for
medium debris, such as dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine
filtration is used for fine debris, such as drywall dust,
cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the
correct filters installed for your cleaning operation to
protect your vacuum motor. The most efficient filtration
for your vacuum is a fine filtration cage filter with a fine
filtration tank filter.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very
fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the tank
and clean the cage filter at more frequent
intervals or add a disposable filter bag to
maintain maximum pickup power.

DRY PICKUP OPERATION

NOTE: Never use vacuum for dry pickup without
a dry-use filter installed. Using vacuum without
a filter will cause dust to discharge from the
blower port and cause damage to motor.
WARNING! Always disconnect the plug from the
wall outlet before removing the tank cover.
Follow the instructions for the filter that came with your
vacuum.

CARTRIDGE FILTER

The cartridge filter can be used for dry pickup and small
quantities of wet pickup. Installation is same for both.
When picking up fine dust or powders, a high efficiency
filter bag must be used with cartridge filter.
1. If a foam sleeve is installed on the lid cage, remove
it by sliding it off the lid cage.
NOTE: If the cartridge filter has been used
for wet pickup, it must be cleaned and dried
before using it for dry pickup.
2. With the tank cover in an
upside down position, slide
the cartridge down over the
lid cage, pushing until the filter
seals against the cover.

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

Figure 5
3. Place filter retainer into top
of the cartridge filter. Hold
tank cover with one hand,
turning handle on filter retainer
clockwise to lock filter into
place. (See Figure 6)
4. To remove filter for cleaning,
hold the tank cover and turn filter
retainer counterclockwise to
loosen and remove.
(See Figure 7)
5. Slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.
6. For standard cartridge filters and Ultra Web
filters, clean the filter by shaking or gently brushing off
excess dirt. Extremely dirty filters may be cleaned with
water by rinsing from inside of filter. Dry completely
(approximately 24 hours). Additional debris can be
removed by rinsing outside surface of filter with running
water. Avoid dampening inside of filter. Completely
air dry after washing. IMPORTANT: DO NOT BRUSH. DO
NOT CLEAN FILTER WITH ABRASIVE MATERIALS OR SCRUB
BETWEEN PLEATS. This will permanently damage the
filter's ability to stop dust.
7. Check the filter for tears or small holes. If none are
found, reinstall the filter. To prevent damage to your
vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or tear.
NOTE: This filter is made of high quality paper
designed to stop small particles of dust. The
filter can be used for wet or dry pickup. A dry
filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If
you use your vacuum to pick up dust when the
filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be
very difficult to clean. The filter may become
saturated when picking up large quantities of
liquid, causing misting to appear in the exhaust
air. At this time, you should dry or change the
filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle
the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning
or when installing it. Check filter for tears or
small holes. Even a small hole can cause dust
to be exhausted. Do not use a filter with holes or
tears. Replace it immediately.
WARNING! Keep filters clean. Efficiency of the
vacuum is largely dependent on the filter. A
clogged filter can cause overheating and
possibly damage the cleaner. Check the filter
periodically and replace as required.
