Always unplug machine before cleaning, or making any
adjustments or repairs.
The backpack vacuum has four levels of filtration: the paper vacuum bag, a micro
cloth filter, a pre-motor filter and an exhaust filter. These bags and filters capture
fine dust particles and protect the motor from dirt. It is important to replace the
paper bag when it is no more than ½ full and to clean the filters on a regular
schedule and replace as necessary.
Paper Vacuum Bag
1. Remove paper bag. Insert a new paper bag into the cloth bag, making sure the
cardboard disk is centered on the flexible sealing ring. When you replace the lid,
the short nozzle in the center of the lid will be closed over the central hole of the
cardboard disk of the paper vacuum bag providing a seal. (Fig. A)
2. Replace the lid. Fasten latches and replace hose. (Figs. C-D)
Micro Cloth Filter
After each use, the cloth filter bag should be inspected. Hand wash the cloth filter
bag every 6 months using cold water and no detergent. Line dry.
3. Remove the micro cloth bag, clean and replace. (Fig. B)
4. Replace paper vacuum bag and lid. Fasten latches and insert hose. (Figs. C-D)
Pre-Motor Filter
The pre-motor filter is located under the micro cloth filter. Inspect after each use.
The filter can be washed using cold water and no detergent. Lay flat to dry. Replace
every 6 months.
5. Remove the lid, the paper vacuum bag, and the cloth bag to expose the pre-
motor filter.
6. Remove the foam pre-motor filter from the dust compartment, clean and replace.
If filter is extremely dirty, rinse out and air dry before replacing back into vacuum.

7. Reinstall the cloth bag, the paper vacuum bag and replace the lid, fasten latches
and insert the hose. (Figs. C-D)
Exhaust Filter
The exhaust filter is an easy-access washable, reusable post-motor filter located on
the bottom of the vacuum. For average use of the vacuum, remove and clean the
exhaust motor filter every 3 months. The filter can be washed using cold water and
no detergent. Lay flat to dry. Replace once a year.
8. Remove the foam post motor filter, clean and replace.
9. Reinstall the filter at the bottom of the vacuum. (Fig. F)
