CHANGING THE FILTER BAG
Check the Filter Bag daily to see that it is installed correctly. Change the bag whenever the Bag Full Indicator shows RED
or if the bag is damaged or full.
To Change the Bag:
1
Remove the Bag Housing Cover.
2
Grasp the top of the filter bag, pull it downward and out of the housing.
3
Discard the Paper Filter Bag. Empty the Cloth Filter Bag and clean it either by vacuuming or laundering when
necessary. Make sure the bag is completely dry before using it again.
4
Install a new Paper Filter Bag or the clean Cloth Filter Bag.
5
Push the
Cloth Filter Bag’s
rubber seal onto the intake tube.
Expand the
Paper Filter Bag
by pulling out the pleats. Hold on to the cardboard square and push the filter bag’s rubber
seal onto the intake tube.
6
Close the bag housing. Do not pinch the bag between the cover and the housing.

CLEANING THE SECONDARY FILTER
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the
Secondary Filter
The secondary filter catches dirt spilled from the bag before it
can enter the vacuum motor. The filter is located just below the
bag inside the Upper Housing. The filter should be cleaned
every third time that the bag is changed (more often in very dusty
applications).
To Clean the Secondary Filter:
1
Remove the Bag Housing Cover.
2
Pull the filter holder ring UP and remove the filter.
3
Wash the foam filter in warm water. Let the filter dry
completely before putting it back into the machine.
