filter seals against the power head.

locking the filter into place.

FILTER REPLACEMENT
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord before
changing or cleaning filter. Filter should be
cleaned often to maintain peak vacuum
performance.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the blower
wheel and motor, always reinstall the filter
before using the vacuum for dry pick-ups and
wet pick-ups.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check filter for tears
or small holes. Do not use a damaged filter. A
small hole can cause a lot of dust to come out
of vacuum. Replace it immediately.
NOTE: Before installing filter on the vacuum,
clean area of lid so that filter will seal against
lid and stop small particles from bypassing the
filter bag. If filter is clean and not damaged,
replace it on the filter cage. If it cannot be
reused, place a new filter over the filter cage.
NOTE: Clean the filter in an open area.
Cleaning should be done outdoors and not in
living quarters.
WARNING: Do not remove filter cage and float.
The float prevents water from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor. The cage
prevents fingers from touching the moving
impeller.
CLEANING
Clean the outside with a cloth dampened with warm
water and mild soap. To clean the tank:
1. Dump out debris.
2. Wash tank thoroughly with warm water and mild
soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
STORAGE
Before storing vacuum, dust tank should be emptied
and cleaned. Cord should be wrapped and hung on
unit and accessories should be kept in mesh bag so
they can be readily available. The vacuum should be
stored indoors.
