(Not standard with all models)
WARNING
THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.
When using the reusable dry filter to pick up dust and dry
material, you must install foam sleeve and reusable dry
filter to ensure proper filtration. If the vacuum has been
used to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned
B
and dried before installing for dry pick up. With tank cover
in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over lid
cage pulling until foam sleeve completely covers lid cage
(Figures 38, 39). Center the reusable dry filter on lid cage
(Figure 40), slide mounting ring down over filter until ring is
positioned against the ribs of the lid cage (Figure 41). The
reusable dry filter should always be in position over the foam
sleeve for dry pick up. To remove the filter for cleaning, remove mounting ring
and filter from lid cage (Figure 42). To clean the reusable dry filter, shake off
excess dirt and dust or (depending on the condition of the filter) rinse with water.
Allow the filter to dry completely and re-install. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY.
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
(Not standard with all models)
NOTE: If foam sleeve is in position over lid cage, it must be removed before installing cartridge
filter.
The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry pick up;
installation is the same for both. When picking up large
quantities of liquid please refer to the Wet Pick Up Operation
section in this manual. Use the cartridge filter in posi-
tion over the lid cage for most general dry material pick
up. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide
