Emptying the Dirt
Canister & Replacing the
Filter Cartridge
For Filtered Cyclonic
TM
Models:
FC300,
FC550, FC650 & FC1550
The dirt canister – where the vacuumed dirt
is deposited – is the removable lower portion
of the power unit. The canister needs to be
removed and emptied when it is 2/3 full. The
filter cartridge should be replaced once a year.
NOTE: When the dirt canister is removed the
cyclonic cone will be visible. The cone is held
in place with a friction seal designed to hold
the cone to the body of the power unit when
the canister is removed. The cone can be
removed by pulling on it. This allows access to
the replaceable pleated filter.
Follow these steps
(refer to Figures #1, #2, #3 and #4)
Make sure the power unit is OFF.
1. Unlatch and remove the dirt canister.
Latches are located on opposite sides of
the power unit. (Figure #1)
2. Remove the cyclonic cone.
(Figure #2)
3. Turn the filter latch (counter-clockwise) on
the bottom of the filter and align it with
the slots in the filter base. (Figure #3)
4. Remove the old filter and replace it with a
new pleated filter. Use filter part number
8106-01 for models FC300, FC550 and
FC650 and filter part number 8107-01
for model FC1550. (Figure #4)
5. Lock the filter in place by turning the
filter latch clockwise until you feel it snap.
(Figure #3)
6. Dispose of the dirt and debris captured in
the dirt canister.
7. Seat the cyclonic cone in the dirt canister.
8. Raise the dirt canister to the base of
the power unit and engage the latches.
Be certain the dirt canister is “seated”
properly to the gasket on the body of the
power unit.
