HOW TO MAINTAIN

These instructions serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service
calls, clean motor filter, change disposable paper filter bag, and empty tank often. Empty
all liquids after each use.
Motor Filters
NOTE: Turn off power switch and unplug electrical cord before servicing. Never
operate vacuum cleaner without motor filter(s) or with defective filter(s).
The motor filter(s) must be kept clean for maximum efficiency and proper airflow.
Periodically replace disposable paper filter bag. The bag should be changed often when
vacuuming fine particles like plaster dust or powder substances which tend to clog filter(s).
How To Clean Foam and Disposable Paper Bag Filters
1. Release motor housing.
2. Remove filters from ball float
cage.
3. Shake foam filter vigorously
over a suitable container to
remove loose particles.
The foam filter can be washed
in soapy water for further
cleaning. Shake out water before
reinstalling. The foam filter
should be completely dry before
using for dry pickup or for
storage.
4. Replace foam filter over ball float
cage; place rubber band around
bottom of foam filter if you plan
wet pick-up otherwise go to step

5. Install new disposable paper
filter; secure with rubber band
around top of paper bag for dry
pick-up.

replacement filters.
