Dry
Filter
1. Some
removal
of dry debris can be
accomplished

removing
the filter
from the vac by slapping
your hand on
top of the lid while the vac is turned
off.

of cleaning

SHOULD
be done
outdoors
and not in the living quarters.
After filter removal
from vac, remove
the
dry debris
by gently tapping
the filter
against
the inside wall of your dust drum
and the debris will loosen
and fall.
4. For thorough
cleaning of dry filter with fine
dust (no debris), you may run water
through it as described
under "Wet Filter".
Wet
Filter
After filter is removed,
run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot.
Take care

pressure
from the hose is not
strong
enough
to damage

ber: To dry a filter quickly,
reinstall
the fil-
ter on the vac and allow the unit to run for
approximately
10 minutes.
The clean air
rushing
through
the filter will dry it.

Allow the filter to dry before
reinstalling
and storing
the vac.
