FILTER
INSTALLATION
AND CLEANING
DRY PICK UP
OPERATION
NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a
dry use filter installed on the lid cage. Using the vacuum
without a filter will cause dust to discharge from blower
port and cause damage to motor.
INSTALLING AND CLEANING THE CARTRIDGE
FILTER:
WARNING!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE
PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET
BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK
COVER.
NOTE: If foam sleeve (not standard with all models)
is installed on lid cage, remove before installing the
cartridge filter.
25. The cartridge filter can be used for dry pick up and
small quantities of wet pick up. Installation is the same
for both. When picking up large quantities of water we
recommend using a foam sleeve (not standard with
all models) instead of the cartridge filter. When picking
up fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag (not
standard with all models) must be used with the
cartridge filter.
NOTE: If cartridge filter has been used for wet pick
up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for dry
pick up.
