Filter Cleaning

Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Be sure to dry the filter before storing or
picking up dry debris.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
filter for tears or small holes. Do not use
a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a
small hole can cause a lot of dust to
come out of your Vac. Replace it
immediately.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. 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.
2. After filter removal from Vac, remove
the dry debris by gently tapping the
filter against the inside wall of your dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
3. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water through
it as described under "Cleaning A Wet
Filter".
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.
Installation
Refer to page 5 "Filter Removal and
Installation" Section of this manual.
Allow the filter to dry before storing the
Vac.
