ABOUT THE MACHINE
FILTER CLEANING DEVICE
The filter utilizes a unique filter cleaning system designed to clean
the outer surface of the Never-Clog bag without removing the motor
head. To use the filter cleaner:
1. Shut off the vacuum to stop the airflow through the filter system
2. Move the knob mounted on the top of the motor head up and down
3-4 times. The debris removed from the filter will fall into the tank.
3. Restart the motor to resume cleaning.
The filter can also be completely removed for cleaning or replace-
ment.
1. Remove the stainless steel pin securing the filter cleaning ring.
2. Slide the ring off the filter.
3. Remove the filter retaining thumbscrews.
4. Pull the filter off the motorhead.
5. Remove the Never-Clog bag from the cartridge filter.
6. To reinstall the Never-Clog bag, slide the slots near the rim of the
bag over the ears of the cartridge filter. Pull the top layer of elas-
tic over the top rim of the filter, taking care not to place the bag
over the opening of the filter.
7. Reinstall the cartridge filter by pushing it over the wet shutoff
mechanism.
8. Reinstall thumbscrews. The thumbscrews should be finger tight.
CAUTION
Never lubricate the vacuum cleaner motor. The motor bear-
ings are permanently sealed. This vacuum is intended for
indoor or outdoor use and for wet pickup, but it is not
intended to be exposed to rain.
