CARTRIDGE FILTER MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet before removing the tank
cover.
NOTICE: This filter is made of high quality pa-
per designed to stop small particles of dust.
The filter can be used for wet or dry pick-up. A
dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material.
If you use your vac 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 occurrance. Please
handle the filter carefully when removing it for
cleaning or when installing it.
Check the 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.
INSTALLING & CLEANING
1. Slide cartridge filter down
over filter cage.
2. Place filter retainer on top
of cartridge filter.
3. Hold onto base of lid cage
with one hand and turn re-
tainer clockwise to tighten.
4. To remove filter for clean-
ing, again hold onto base of

turn retainer counter clock-
wise to loosen.
5. Slide cartridge filter off fil-
ter cage.
6. Clean dry filter by tapping it
on inside of waste can.
7. Clean wet filter by rinsing

8. When wet (to prevent mold and/or mildew
build-up), the cartridge filter should be re-
moved and allowed to air dry for a 24-hour
period before being re-installed back onto the
filter cage.
