Cleaning Vacuum Filter
Note: The filter is made of high quality paper designed to stop very small particles of
dust. The filter can be used for dry pick-up or to pick up small amounts of liquid.
Handle the filter carefully when removing or installing. Creases in the filter pleats may
occur from installation but will not affect the performance of the filter.
Filter Removal
Refer to page 8 "Filter Assembly/Replacement" Section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall the
filter before using the Vacuum for dry material pick up.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
NOTE: Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done outdoors.
1. Light cleaning of some dry debris from the filter can be accomplished without
removing the filter from the Vacuum. Simply slap your hand on top of the handle
while the Vacuum is turned off.
2. Remove filter from Vacuum. Gently tap the filter against the inside wall of your
tank 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 from a hose or spigot through the filter. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not strong enough to damage filter. Allow the
filter to air dry before reinstalling and storing the Vacuum.
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 Vacuum. If your filter is damaged or worn, replace it immediately.
