Change the collection bag

When the collection bag is 3/4 full, it MUST be replaced. Excessive over filling of this 
bag makes it difficult to remove from the vacuum cleaner tank and can result in 
breakage and spills. The collection bag comes equipped with a quick closing flap. 
When collection bag becomes 3/4 full, turn off vacuum cleaner and slowly remove the 
collection bag from the tank until the opening in the collection bag is clear of the 
tank.  Pull the closure slide up on the collection bag, which will close the opening. 
Hazardous materials must be disposed of properly. NEVER throw contaminated debris 
in your usual trash receptacle. Place closed collection bag in an approved poly bag or 
container marked with HAZARDOUS MATERIAL warning and dispose in accordance 
with your local Hazardous Waste Regulations. 

Change the pre-filter

The pre-filter should be replaced with every fifth change of collection bag and whenever 
there is damage or a visible collection of debris on the outside of the filter.

Change the HEPA filter

Replace the HEPA filter when loss of vacuum continues to occur after you have checked
for an obstructions in the hose or wand. Also, install a new collection bag and pre-filter.
