5. Slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.
6. For standard cartridge filters and Ultra Web
®
cartridge
filters, clean the filter by shaking or gently brushing off
excess dirt. Extremely dirty filters may be cleaned with
water by rinsing from inside of filter. Dry completely
(approximately 24 hours). Additional debris can be
removed by rinsing outside surface of filter with running
water. Avoid dampening inside of filter. Completely
air dry after washing. IMPORTANT: DO NOT BRUSH. DO
NOT CLEAN FILTER WITH ABRASIVE MATERIALS OR SCRUB
BETWEEN PLEATS. This will permanently damage the
filter's ability to stop dust.
7. Check the filter for tears or small holes. If none are
found, reinstall the filter. To prevent damage to your
vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or tear.
NOTE: This filter is made of high quality paper
designed to stop small particles of dust. The
filter can be used for wet or dry pickup. A dry
filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If
you use your vacuum to pick up dust when the
filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be
very difficult to clean. The filter may become
saturated when picking up large quantities of
liquid, causing misting to appear in the exhaust
air. At this time, you should dry or change the
filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle
the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning
or when installing it. Check filter for tears or
small holes. Even a small hole can cause dust
to be exhausted. Do not use a filter with holes or
tears. Replace it immediately.
WARNING! Keep filters clean. Efficiency of the
vacuum is largely dependent on the filter. A
clogged filter can cause overheating and
possibly damage the cleaner. Check the filter
periodically and replace as required.
DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
Use the disposable filter bag in conjunction with
cartridge filter for easy disposal of debris. The bag is not
required for normal dry pickup. When picking up fine
dust or powders, a high efficiency filter bag must be
used. NOTE: For dry use only.
1. Make sure cord is disconnected from the receptacle,
tank cover is removed and hose is disconnected
from tank inlet.
2. Remove inlet deflector from
deflector guide. NOTE: Hose
must be removed before inlet
deflector can be taken out.
(See Figure 8)
3. With the opening of the inlet
deflector facing the left or
right side of the filter bag, slide
filter bag collar over deflector,
matching notches of bag collar
to tabs on inlet deflector. Bag
will only fit properly one way.
(See Figure 9)
4. Slide deflector with filter bag
attached into deflector guide.
(See Figure 10)
5. Reinsert hose into inlet and tighten
locking nut. When secured in
place, expand bag and position
around inside of tank.
NOTE: When removing filter bag from tank,
remove inlet deflector from filter bag collar
and reinstall into deflector guide. Inlet
deflector should always be in place for any
type of cleaning.
WARNING! For fine dust and powders – When
vacuuming fine dust or powders of any kind
(plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes, concrete
dust, etc.), a high efficiency drywall filter
bag must be used. When vacuuming
normal household dust and debris, standard
household disposable filter bags may be used.
WET PICKUP OPERATION
1. Your vacuum can be used for wet pickup. Remove
all dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry
use filters, including the filter bag, from the vacuum.
2. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small
quantities of liquid. To use cartridge filter, follow the
instructions under dry pickup.
3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid, use a foam
sleeve. A foam sleeve can be purchased from Uline. To
use the foam sleeve, follow the instructions in this section.
4. Misting in exhaust air or dripping of liquid around
tank cover may occur if filter becomes saturated
during wet pickup. If this occurs, remove filter and
allow to dry or replace with another dry filter.
5. Turn unit off immediately upon completing a wet
pickup job or when tank is full and ready to be
emptied. When tank is full, suction will drastically
reduce. Refer to automatic suction shutoff section
for more information. Raise the hose to drain any
excess liquid into the tank. Follow the instructions in
the "Emptying Liquid Waste" section.
