Maintenance (continued)
Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug the power cord before
changing or cleaning the filter.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid.
Handle the filter carefully when removing
to clean or installing it. Creases in the
filter pleats may occur from installation
but will not affect the performance of the
filter.

Cleaning vac Filter

Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Allow the filter to dry 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 allow dust to come out of your
Vac. Replace it immediately.

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 lid while the Vac is turned
off.
2. For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Clean the filter outdoors
and not in the living quarters.
3. After filter removal from the 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 a dry filter
with fine dust (no debris), run water
through it as described under
Cleaning A Wet Filter "Cleaning A Wet Filter".
After the 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 to damage the
filter.

Filter Replacement

Refer to page 11 "Filter Removal and
Installation" section of this manual.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac or picking up dry
debris.
