cleaning A Dry filter
NoTe: For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the Filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
1. Light cleaning of some dry debris from
the Filter can be accomplished without
removing the Filter from the Vac.
Simply slap your hand on top of the
handle while the Vac is turned off.
2. Remove Filter from Vac. Gently tap
the Filter against the inside wall of
your dust drum and the debris will
loosen and fall.
3. For thorough cleaning of a dry Filter
with fine dust (no debris) you may run
water through it as described under
"Cleaning A Wet Filter" Section.
cleaning A Wet filter
After Filter is removed, run water through
the Filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage Filter. Allow
Filter to dry out before storing.

water and mild soap.
