FILTER INSTALLATION AND CLEANING

DRY PICK UP OPERATION
NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a dry use filter installed on the lid cage. Using the
vacuum without a filter will cause dust to discharge from blower port and cause damage to motor.
INSTALLING AND CLEANING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER:
WARNING
BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.
NOTE: If foam sleeve (not standard with all models) is installed on lid cage, remove before installing the
cartridge filter.
1. The cartridge filter can be used for dry pick up and small quantities of wet pick up. Installation is the
same for both. When picking up large quantities of water we recommend using a foam sleeve (not
standard with all models) instead of the cartridge filter. When picking up fine dust or powders a high
efficiency filter bag (not standard with all models) must be used with the cartridge filter.
NOTE: If cartridge filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for
dry pick up.
2. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge filter down over
the lid cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover.
3. Place filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter.
4. Hold the tank cover with one hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to
tighten, locking the filter into place.
5. To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer
counter-clockwise to loosen and remove.
6. Slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.
