3. Undo the latches and remove the power head from the container.   (fig.3) 
4. Clear all dirt or debris from the container and hose.  (fig.4) 
5. Check the hose, attachments, and power cord to verify that they have not been damaged. 

 
IMPORTANT! 

Clean or change the reusable cloth filter regularly for best performance. 

ALWAYS USE 

REUSABLE CLOTH FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING

.  If the machine is used without the reusable cloth 

filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided.  Always keep spare filters on-hand.  

NOTICE! 

The filter included is made of high quality material designed to stop small dust particles. The filter 

should be used for dry pick-up only.  A dry filter is necessary to pick up dust.  If the reusable cloth filter is wet, 
it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.  Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and 
replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the 
cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears; replace the filter immediately if a hole or tear is found. 

 

WARNING:

 

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING 

THE POWER HEAD FROM CONTAINER.
