WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
material designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used for
wet or dry pick up. Handle the filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing a new filter. Creases in the filter
pleats may occur from installation but
creases will not affect the performance of
the filter.
Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak vac performance.
Be sure to dry the filter before storing or
picking up dry debris.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a
filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small
hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of
your vac. Replace it immediately.
Removal
To remove the filter for cleaning or
replacement, unscrew the filter nut from
the filter cage, remove filter plate and lift
off filter.
WARNING: Do not remove the filter
cage. It is there to help prevent your
fingers from getting into the blower
wheel.

Maintenance

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the blower wheel and motor,
always reinstall the filter before using the
starting,
vac for dry material pickup.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the filter
from the vac. Slap your hand on top of
the power assembly while the vac is
turned off.
2. For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
3. After filter removal from vac, remove the
dry debris by gently tapping the filter
against the inside wall of your dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water through
it as described under "Cleaning A Wet
Filter".
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough
Remember: To dry a filter quickly, reinstall
the filter on the vac and allow the unit to
run for approximately 10 minutes. The
clean air rushing through the filter will dry
it.
Installation
Refer to "Filter Assembly" Section of
this manual.
Allow the filter to dry before storing
the vac.
