7. Place power head on collection tank and
secure latches.
NOTICE! The fi lter included is made of
high quality material designed to stop small
dust particles. The fi lter should be used for
dry pick-up only. A dry fi lter is necessary
to pick up dust. If the dust fi lter is wet, it
will clog quickly and be very diffi cult to
clean. Handle the fi lter carefully when
removing it for cleaning and replacing it.
Check the fi lters for tears or small holes; a
small hole can let dust pass through and
out of the cleaner. Do not use a fi lter with
holes or tears; replace it immediately.

NOTE: For best cartridge fi lter cleaning
results, cleaning should be conducted

been removed, gently tap it against the
inside wall of the container or brush the
dirt off. Debris will begin to break up,
loosen and fall.
