OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRY PICK-UP
1. The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage
to vac. Make sure that the filter is completely covering the filter cage. Make sure there are no
gaps between the filter and the lid. (See illustration). It is very important to assemble the filter to
the cage without allowing any possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will allow the picked up debris to
be blown out of the blowing port and back into the surrounding environment.
2. When using the vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the dust tank and
clean or replace the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak vac performance.
NOTE:
A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use the vac to pick up dust when the filter
is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. If the filter gets wet, replace it before
continuing to do dry pickups.
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry pick, installation is the same for both.
1. With the power head in an upside down position, slide the cartridge filter down over the lid cage,
push the filter seals against the power head.
2. Place filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter, hold the power head with one hand, turn
the handle on filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place.
3. To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the power head and turn the filter retainer counter-
clockwise to loosen and remove, slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.
4. To cleaning the cartridge filter, shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter)
with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and re-install.
NOTE:
If the filter has been used for wet pick-up, it must be cleaned and dried before using for dry pick-up.

against the deflector wall.
