Emptying and Cleaning

Projectile/Respiratory Hazard: Never use the auto vac without its filter.

The filters are re-usable and should be cleaned regularly. Optimum dust collection will only be achieved with clean filters.

NOTICE: The filter is re-usable, do not throw it away when the product is emptied.

NOTICE: In order to keep the suction force optimized, the filters must be cleaned regularly during use.

• There are two methods of cleaning the bowl, a quick empty method and a thorough clean method.

Emptying the Dust Bowl

Fig C

• Press the nozzle release buttons (5) and pull the nozzle (4) straight off.
• Empty the contents of the bowl.
• To replace the nozzle, place it back onto the auto vac until it "clicks" firmly into position.

Removing Dust Bowl and Filters

Fig D

NOTICE: Maximum dust collection will only be obtained with a clean filter and an empty dust bowl.

NOTICE: Empty dust bowl before it becomes overfilled. If dust begins to fall back out of the product after it is switched off, it is too full and requires emptying.

• Press the bowl release button (2) and pull the dust bowl (3) away from the body of the auto vac.
• While holding the dust bowl over a bin, pull the filter out to empty the contents of the bowl.

NOTICE: The auto vac has a pre-filter and an inner filter. The filters should be separated to allow better cleaning.

• To separate the filters, twist the pre-filter (10) in a clockwise direction and lift away from the inner filter (11) as shown in Figure E.
  
  Fig E
• Shake or lightly brush any loose dust off both filters.
• To replace the filters, slide the pre-filter over the inner filter.
• Align the wings of the pre-filter with the slots in the inner filter and twist in a counterclockwise direction as shown in Figure F.

It is very important that the filter is correctly in position before use.

Cleaning the Dust Bowls and Filters

NOTICE: Wash the filters regularly. The cleaner the filter is, the better the product will perform.

• Remove the dust bowl and filter as described in "Removing Dust Bowl and Filters."
• The dust bowl and filters can be washed in warm soapy water.
• Allow to dry before placing back into the auto vac.
• Once clean and dry, place filters back into the bowl pressing firmly to ensure a secure fit. Place the dust bowl back onto the auto vac until it "clicks" firmly into position.

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The unit should be placed or mounted away from sinks and hot surfaces.
• Plug the unit only in a standard automobile power outlet.
• Unplug the unit from outlet before any routine cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not look into the air vents when the unit is switched on, as sometimes there is a possibility of small debris being discharged from the air vents, especially after cleaning / replacement of the filters as debris inside the unit can be disturbed.

Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 10 amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated higher than 10 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found in the vehicle operator's manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. On no account should fuses be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause fire.
