Emptying the Dirt Canister

&Replacing the Filter Cartridge

The dirt canister – where the vacuumed dirt is deposited – is the removable lower portion of the power unit. The canister needs to be removed and emptied when it is 2/3 full. The filter cartridge should be replaced once a year.

NOTE: When the dirt canister is removed the Cyclonic Cone will be visible. The cone is held in place with a friction seal designed to hold the cone to the body of the power unit when the canister is removed. The cone can be removed by pulling on it. This allows access to the replaceable pleated filter.

Follow these steps

(refer to Illustration #1, #2, #3 and #4) Make sure the Power Unit is OFF.

1.Unlatch and remove the Dirt Canister. Latches are located on opposite sides of the power unit. (Illustration #1)

2.Remove the Cyclonic Cone.

3.Turn the filter latch (counter-clockwise) on the bottom of the filter and align it with the slots in the filter base. (Illustration #3)

4.Remove the old filter and replace it with a new pleated filter. Use filter part number 8106-01 for models FC300, FC550 and FC650 and filter part number 8107-01 for model FC1550. (Illustration #4)

5.Lock the filter in place by turning the filter latch clockwise until you feel it snap.
