Maintenance (continued)
NOTE: If filter cage needs to be
removed, or replaced, use a flat blade
screwdriver and insert the blade near one
of the tabs between the filter cage and
the center ring of the lid. Pry the tab out
of the slot. Tilt the cage and lift away from
the lid. Replace in the following manner:
1. Place the float over the opening in the
center of the lid with the words "This
Side Towards Lid" laying face down
over the hole.
2. Line up filter cage tabs with slots in the
center ring of the lid.
3. Push on the filter cage until the tabs
snap into slots for a secure fit.

Cleaning A Dry Filter
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.
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.
After filter removal from Vac, remove the
dry debris by gently tapping the filter
against the inside wall of your dust drum.
The debris will loosen and fall.
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.
