Maintenance

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of

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.

Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the filter
from the vac. Slap your hand on top of the
power assembly while the vac is turned off
and remove from the storage rack.
For best
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
