WHEN TO CHANGE FILTERS Change the collection bag When the collection bag is 3/4 full, it MUST be replaced. Excessive over filling of this bag makes it difficult to remove from the vacuum tank and can result in breakage and spills. When collection bag becomes 3/4 full, turn off vacuum and slowly remove the collection bag from the tank until the opening in the collection bag is clear of the tank.
