Cleaning A Dry Filter

1. Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the
filter from the Vac. Slap your hand on
top of the lid while the Vac is turned
off.
2. For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be
done outdoors and not in the living
quarters.
3. After filter removal from Vac, remove
the dry debris by gently tapping filter
against the inside wall of your dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water
through it as described under

"Cleaning A Wet Filter".

Cleaning A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage filter.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
