and hose into a proper waste container (Fig. 4).
Fig. 4
5. Clean or replace the filters.
6. Check the hose, attachments, and power
cord to verify that they have not been
damaged.
7. Place the power head back on collection
tank and secure latches.
IMPORTANT! Clean or change the cartridge
filter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS
USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR DRY
VACUUMING. If the machine is used without
the cartridge filter, the motor will burn out and
the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare
cartridge filters on hand.
NOTICE! The filters included are made of
high-quality materials designed to stop small
dust particles. The cartridge filter should be
used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter
is necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge
filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be difficult to
clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing
it for cleaning or replacing. Check the filters
for tears or small holes. A small hole can let
dust pass through and out of the filter. Do not
use a filter with holes or tears in it; replace it
immediately.
STORAGE
Before storing your vacuum, the collection
tank should be emptied and cleaned. The cord
should be wrapped and hung on the hook of
the handle. The hose and accessories should
be stored as illustrated so they can be readily
available when needed (Fig. 5-7). Store the
wet/dry vacuum indoors.
