CARTRIDGE FILTER
BAG FILTER
CLEANING THE FILTERS and EMPTYING THE CANISTER
To keep the vacuum operating efficiently, clean the bag filter and empty the canister frequently. Clean the
cartridge filter periodically. Replace the bag filter and cartridge as required.
Unplug the unit and detach the short Power Cord from the Pressure Switch on the vacuum head, unclamp
the Head and lift it completely off the Canister.
To clean the Bag Filter:
• Remove the metal spacer from inside the bag filter.
• Place your hand inside the bag near the top and “tap” the bag so the dust will fall from the outside of
the bag to the bottom of the canister. Work your hand around the bag, 360 degrees tapping as you .
Lower your hand and “tap” around the outside of the bag. Repeat this step until you reach the bottom
• Wait 2 minutes for the the dust to settle then empty the canister. Remove the bag filter after cleaning.
To empty the Canister:
• Detach the Pressure Switch/Junction Box from the Canister (leaving the Hoses attached) by pushing
the red knob to the left and pull the Box off. Unlatch the two clips to detach the canester from the trol-
ley. Tip the Canister over so that the dust and debris fall out into a waste bag.
• Replace the bag filter and spacer. It is very important to ensure the bag sealing edge is secure to
prevent vacuum leakage. Secure the canister and place the Vacuum Head back on the Canister and
clamp securely.
To clean the Cartridge Filter:
• Slide off the clamping wires and pull off the Filter.
• Vacuum the filter inside and outside using the brush tool of another vacuum.
• Gently spray warm water into the inside of the filter. Let the water fill the cavity, then dump the water.
Repeat this step until the water is clean.
• Gently spray water on the outside of the filter to remove the dirt.
• Let the filter air dry, then reassemble.
WET OPERATION
An optional kit is available to allow water to be vacuumed (Part No. 27-710). However, to prevent water
damage to the filters, they must be removed during wet use. The unit should then be thoroughly dried
before using it on dry materials.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE,
DO NOT VACUUM FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
