This system uses a sealed HEPA type paper bag for
filtration. The mass of dirt and debris is picked up by
your vacuum and deposited into the filter bag inside
your dirt canister.

Remove the lid by lifting straight up. There are no
hinges or clamps.
Remove the bag by sliding the rubber gasket that
surrounds the hole in the paper bag off the
plastic inlet stem that protrudes through the
front of the canister.
Once the bag is off of the inlet stem, seal the bag
by removing the backing from the tab and cover
the hole with the flap. Press the flap so that it
securely seals over the hole (Fig. 3). This will help
prevent dirt and dust from escaping. Now, lift the
paper bag from the dirt canister and place in a
suitable trash container.
Take a new bag and extend it fully (Fig. 4).
Place it in the canister, and slide its rubber gasket
onto the inlet stem until the rubber gasket drops
into place in the ridge that is around the inlet
stem (Fig. 5).
Carefully replace the lid onto the dirt canister to
ensure that it seals properly. Not doing so could
cause a vacuum leak and reduce the cleaning
efficiency of your system.

idea can be obtained as to how long it takes to half fill the canister under your
normal cleaning routine. All vacuum systems will function more effectively
if they are emptied frequently. Under no circumstances should you allow your
dirt canister to become more than 3/4 full before emptying.
