FILTERED CYCLONIC™ MAINTENANCE
EMPTYING THE DIRT CANISTER &
MAINTAINING THE FILTER
For Filtered Cyclonic™ Models: FC300, FC550, FC650 &
FC1550
The dirt canister 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 should be replaced at least 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 filter.
Follow These Steps (refer to Figures 1-4)
Make sure the power unit is OFF.
1. Unlatch and remove the dirt canister. Latches are located on opposite
sides of the power unit. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove the cyclonic cone. (Fig. 2)
3. Turn the filter latch (counter-clockwise) on the bottom of the filter and
align it with the slots in the filter base. (Fig. 3)
4. Remove the filter and gently tap it on the inside of the dirt canister to
remove the loose dirt and debris. The filter should be replaced at least
once a year. If it is time to replace it, models FC300, FC550 and FC650
can use any of the 7” or 10” filters and model FC1550 can use either 10”
filter available. (Fig. 4)

5. Lock the filter in place by turning the filter latch clockwise until you feel
it snap into place. (Fig. 3)
6. Dispose of the dirt and debris captured in the dirt canister.
7. Seat the cyclonic cone on 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.
