BLOWN OR RICOCHETING INTO THE EYES OR FACE WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
To pick up dust and dry material, you must install foam sleeve and
reusable dry filter or filter bag to ensure proper filtration. If the vacuum
has been used to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned and
dried before installing for dry pick up. With tank cover in an upside down
position, slide foam sleeve down over lid cage pulling until foam sleeve
completely covers lid cage
(Figure 18, 19)
. Center the reusable dry filter
(not standard on all models)
on lid cage
(Figure 20)
, slide mounting
ring down over filter until ring is positioned against the ribs of the lid cage
(Figure 21)
. The reusable dry filter should always be in position over the
foam sleeve for dry pick up. To remove the filter for cleaning, remove
mounting ring and filter from lid cage
(Figure 22)
. To clean the reusable
dry filter, shake off excess dirt and dust or (depending on the condition of
the filter) rinse with water. Allow the filter to dry completely and reinstall.
WARNING -
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE
TANK COVER.

NOT STANDARD ON ALL MODELS
WARNING -
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING
THE TANK COVER.
NOTE:
If foam sleeve is in position over lid cage, it does not need to be removed before installing cartridge. Foam must be positioned on the
INSIDE of groove around lid cage for cartridge to fit properly.
The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry pick up; installation is the same for both. When picking up large quantities of water we recommend
using the foam sleeve
(not standard on all models)
in position over the lid cage. Use the cartridge filter in position over the lid cage for most
general dry material pick up. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge filter down over the lid cage, pushing until the
filter seals against the cover
(Figure 23)
. Place filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter, hold the tank cover with one hand, turn the handle
on the filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place
(Figures 24 & 25)
. To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the tank
cover and turn the filter retainer counter-clockwise to loosen and remove, slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage
(Figures 26 & 27)
. To clean the
cartridge filter shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter) with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and
reinstall
(Figures 28 & 29)
. Note: If the filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using for dry pick up.

NOTE:
ENSURE THAT THE MOUNTING RING IS COMPLETELY SECURE AND IN POSITION BY PRESSING DOWN FIRMLY AROUND THE RING IN
SEVERAL PLACES. BE SURE THE REUSABLE DRY DISC FILTER COMPLETELY COVERS THE FOAM SLEEVE. CHECK TO ENSURE THAT ALL EDGES OF
THE REUSABLE DRY FILTER ARE SECURE UNDER THE MOUNTING RING.
CAUTION -
KEEP FILTER CLEAN.
Efficiency of the vacuum is largely dependent on the filters. Dirty filters will reduce the air flow and efficiency of the filtration system.
DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY.
