5. Slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.

vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or tear.
NOTICE
particles of dust. The filter can be used for wet or dry pick up. A dry filter is necessary to
pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter
will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. The filter may become saturated when
picking up large quantities of liquid causing misting to appear in the exhaust air. At this
time, you should dry or change the filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle the
filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or when installing it. Check the filter for tears
or small holes. Even a small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do not use a filter with
tears. Replace it immediately.
WARNING
DEPENDENT ON THE FILTER. A CLOGGED FILTER CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY
DAMAGE THE CLEANER. CHECK THE FILTER PERIODICALLY AND REPLACE AS REQUIRED.
TEAR RESISTANT WET / DRY COLLECTION BAG
The tear resistant wet / dry collection bag can be used in conjunction with the cartridge filter for picking
up dry debris. The bag is not required for dry pick up; however, it makes it easier to remove the debris and
keeps the tank clean. When picking up fine dust or powders a high efficiency bag must be used. The high
efficiency bags are for dry use only and do not come standard with this model.
The tear resistant wet / dry collection bag can also be used in conjunction with the foam sleeve when
picking up liquids or using the pump feature. The bag traps medium to large debris that may be contained
in the liquid, while allowing the liquid to flow through the bag and deposit into the vacuum's tank. The bag is
not required for wet pick up, but it is recommended when the liquid contains debris that could damage the
vacuum's motor. NOTE: If the bag is used for wet pick up, it must be removed from the tank and hung up to
dry.
To install the bag:
1. Make sure the cord is disconnected from the receptacle, the tank cover is removed and the hose is
disconnected from the tank inlet.
2. Grasp the plastic collar firmly and slide the rubber guard onto the inlet fitting as far as
possible.
3. When secured in place, expand the bag and position around the inside of the tank.
To remove the bag:
1. Make sure the cord is disconnected from the receptacle, the tank cover is removed and the hose is
disconnected from the tank inlet.
2. If the bag was used for wet pick up, move the vacuum outside or to a floor that won't get damaged if the
liquid drips onto it.
3. Grasp the plastic collar firmly and pull the rubber guard off of the inlet fitting. Before removing the bag
from the tank, insert the plastic tab connected to the collar into the bag opening.
4. If the bag was used for dry pick up, simply grasp the plastic handle and remove from the tank.
