FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

FILTRATION SYSTEM
There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum. There are cage filters that install onto the underside
of the tank cover and tank filters that install into the tank. The filters are grouped into three filtration
categories. General filtration is used for large debris; such as, wood chips, nails and gravel. Medium
filtration is used for medium debris; such as, dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine filtration is used for fine debris;
such as drywall dust, cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the correct filters installed for your
cleaning operation to protect your vacuum motor. ThE MOST EFFICIENT FILTRATION FOR YOUR VACUUM IS A
FINE FILTRATION CAGE FILTER WITh A FINE FILTRATION TANK FILTER.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very fine dust. It will be necessary to empty the tank and clean
the cage filter at more frequent intervals to maintain maximum pick up power or add a disposable filter bag.
