: Release the clamps on each side of the tank and head assembly. Lift the head as-
sembly off and set aside. Lift the filter assembly out of the collector tank and set aside. Then wipe the inside
of the collector tank with a clean cloth.
3.
Empty and check the filter assembly
: Empty the recovered soilage into a suitable container and shake to
remove clinging dirt. Brush the outside of the filter bag to remove embedded dirt. Check the filter assembly
for tears or holes; repair or replace if necessary. Install the clean filter assembly into the clean collector tank.
