FILTRATION SYSTEM
There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum.
There are cage filters that install onto the underside of
the tank cover and tank filters that install into the tank.
The filters are grouped into three filtration categories.
General filtration is used for large debris; such as, wood
chips, nails and gravel. Medium filtration is used for
medium debris; such as, dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine
filtration is used for fine debris; such as drywall dust,
cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the
correct filters installed for your cleaning operation to
protect your vacuum motor. THE MOST EFFICIENT
FILTRATION FOR YOUR VACUUM IS A FINE FILTRATION
CAGE FILTER WITH A FINE FILTRATION TANK FILTER.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very fine
dust, it will be necessary to empty the tank and clean
the cartridge filter at more frequent intervals to maintain
maximum pick up power or add a disposable filter bag.
