FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
FILTRATION SYSTEM
There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum.
There are cage filters that install onto the underside of
the tank cover and tank filters that install into the tank.
The filters are grouped into three filtration categories.
General filtration is used for large debris, such as wood
chips, nails and gravel. Medium filtration is used for
medium debris, such as dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine
filtration is used for fine debris, such as drywall dust,
cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the
correct filters installed for your cleaning operation to
protect your vacuum motor. The most efficient filtration
for your vacuum is a fine filtration cage filter with a fine
filtration tank filter.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very
fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the tank
and clean the cage filter at more frequent
intervals or add a disposable filter bag to
maintain maximum pickup power.
DRY PICKUP OPERATION
NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pickup
without a dry-use filter installed. Using the
vacuum without a filter will cause dust to
discharge from the blower port and cause
damage to the motor.
WARNING! Always disconnect the plug from the
wall outlet before removing the tank cover.
Follow the instructions for the filter that came with your
vacuum.
CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge filter can be used for dry pickup and small
quantities of wet pickup. Installation is the same for both.
When picking up fine dust or powders, a high efficiency
filter bag must be used with the cartridge filter.
1. If a foam sleeve is installed on the lid cage, remove
it by sliding it off the lid cage.
NOTE: if the cartridge filter has been used
for wet pickup, it must be cleaned and dried
before using it for dry pickup.
2. With the tank cover in an
upside down position, slide
the cartridge down over the
lid cage, pushing until the filter
seals against the cover.
(See Figure 5)
3. Place the filter retainer into the
top of the cartridge filter. Hold
the tank cover with one hand
and turn the handle on the filter
retainer clockwise to lock the
filter into place. (See Figure 6)
4. To remove the filter for cleaning,
hold the tank cover and turn the
filter retainer counter-clockwise.
