Filter care
The wet/dry filter (18) included with this vacuum is a long
life filter. To be effective in minimizing dust recirculation the
filters MUST be installed correctly and in good condition.
Note: A clean filter is the most important factor in the
operation and efficiency of any vacuum. If the filter becomes
clogged beyond cleaning, damaged, or fails to operate
properly, replace only with a reccomended replacement.
To clean or change the filter (Fig. G)
Turn vacuum off. Remove the battery pack.
u
Unlatch the tank latches (5) and remove the power
u
head from the tank as shown in figure D.

Unlock the filter lock (19) by twisting it counter clockwise.
Pull the filter (18) out to remove it from the power head.
Clean the filter by shaking off excess dust, tapping into
u
a waste receptacle, then rinsing under running water.
Depending on the condition of the filter, a water wash is
not always required. Do not use a brush to clean filter.
Reinstall filter and secure the filter lock onto power
u
head. Twist the filter lock clockwise and ensure the filter
is locked in place.
Replace power head onto the tank and secure latches.
