Maintenance

Filter

!WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning 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.

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.

Filter Removal

To remove the filter for cleaning or replacement, unscrew the filter nut from the filter cage and lift off filter and filter plate .

!WARNING: Do not remove the filter cage and float. The float prevents water from entering the impeller and damaging the motor. The cage prevents fingers from touching the moving impeller.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall the filter before using the vac for dry material pick-up.

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. Cleaning SHOULD be done outdoors and not in the living quarters.

3.After filter removal from vac, remove the dry debris by gently tapping 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 to damage filter.

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 page 5 "Replacement Filter Assembly" Section of this manual.

Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling and storing the vac.
