Installation

Before installing the filter on the Vac, clean
the area of the lid so that the retainer band
will seal the bag against the lid and stop
small particles from bypassing the filter
bag.
If the filter is clean and not damaged,
replace it on the filter cage. If it cannot be
reused, place a new filter over the filter
cage.
Replace the retainer band around the
filter. Make sure the retainer band is
positioned on the filter, and the filter
completely covers the filter cage. Also,
make sure the edges of the filter are
completely secured under the retainer
band.
NOTE: Clean the filter in an open area.
Cleaning should be done outdoors and not
in the living quarters.
WARNING: Do not remove the
filter cage and float. The float
prevents liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
The cage prevents fingers from
touching the moving impeller.
