OPERATION TIPS

• The filter must always be in correct position to avoid
leaks and possible damage to the machine.
• When you use your machine, it will be necessary for you
to empty the collection tank and clean the filter at more
frequent intervals to maintain peak vac performance.
• When the liquid in the collection tank reaches a
predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise
automatically to cut off air-flow. This will cause the
suction stop and the higher motor noise. When this
happens:
1. Turn off the machine.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Empty the collection tank.
• Dry the filter after you use the machine to avoid mildew
and damage to the machine.

CLEAN THE FILTER

Allow the filter to dry before you store or picking up debris.
Often clean your filter to maintain peak vac performance.
Clean a dry filter:
• Cleaning should be done outdoors and not in the living
quarters.
• You can use a small brush to clean the dust and debris.
• For thorough cleaning of dry filter with fine dust (no
debris), run water through it as described under "Cleaning
A Wet Filter"
Clean a wet filter:
1. Remove the filter from the machine.
2. Run water through the filter from a hose or spigot.
Check the cartridge filter for tears or small holes after
cleaning. Do not use a cartridge filter with holes or tears in
it. Even a small hole can allow dust to come out of your
machine. Replace it immediately.
