Maintenance
Filter
Your filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak vac performance.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall the filter before using the vac for dry material
Take the dirty filter to a disposal container and gently brush away small dirt particles that may be adhering to the filter material. 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 a lot of dust to come out of your vac. Replace it immediately.
Installation
Before installing the filter on the vac, clean the area of the lid so that the retainer band will seal the bag against the lid and stop small particles from bypassing the filter bag.
If the filter is clean and not damaged, replace it on the filter cage. If it cannot be reused, place a new filter over the filter cage.
Replace the retainer band around the filter. Make sure the retainer band is positioned on the filter, and the filter completely covers the filter cage. Also, make sure the edges of the filter are completely secured under the retainer band.
NOTE: Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning should be done outdoors and not in the living quarters.
!WARNING: Do not remove the filter cage and float. The float prevents liquid from entering the impeller and damaging the motor. The cage prevents fingers from touching the moving impeller.
