Replacing secondary filter |
|
|
|
The secondary filter protects the motor from |
|
|
|
| 12 |
| |
dust and dirt. Before installing a new filter bag, |
|
| |
|
|
| |
check the filter. Accumulated dirt in the dust |
|
|
|
compartment will be collected on this filter and |
|
|
|
may restrict motor performance, when the filter |
|
|
|
becomes dirty (diagram 12). |

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

the underside of bag supporter. Lift and rotate to |
|
|
|
remove bag supporter. Now, remove secondary |
|
|
|
filter from bottom of dust compartment. Replace |
|
|
