MAINTENANCE
REMOVING DRY WASTE & CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
CAUTION!
Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, as well as a NIOSH-approved respirator or
dust mask, when cleaning out the bucket or changing the filter. It is recommended to work outside, in an area
with sufficient air flow, when cleaning out the bucket or changing the filter.
1. Unplug the unit from the power source.
2. Remove the top vacuum cover and dispose of any waste
found in the bucket.
3. To clean the filter, remove the mesh liner (Fig. 8 - 1) on
the outside of the HEPA filter. Unscrew the lock knob (Fig.
8 - 2) to release the HEPA filter from the top of the vacuum.
4. Tap the filter against the inside of a garbage can to re-
move large particles of debris.
6. Use compressed air, or water from a garden hose, to re-
move fine particles from the filter.
NOTE:
Direct the compressed air or water outwards, spray-
ing from the inside of the filter towards the outside, as this
will produce the best results.
6. If using a garden hose, air dry the HEPA filter until it is
completely dry.
7. Re-install HEPA filter on the top vacuum cover and se-
cure it with the lock knob before operating the vacuum.
NOTE:
Ensure all parts are completely dry before using the
vacuum for dry waste collection.
NOTE:
After a while, depending on how heavily and fre-
quently the vacuum is used, the HEPA filter will not be able
to be cleaned sufficiently to provide continued effective per-
formance, and a new HEPA filter will need to be purchased.
Replacement HEPA filters can be found at
wenproducts.

3. Let the wet waste out through the water drain (Fig. 9 - 1) at the base of the dust bucket.
NOTE:
For both wet and dry jobs, it is suggested to occasionally rinse the bucket with clean water to rid the vacuum
of any unwanted particles or critters, as well as to keep the vacuum fresh and its morale high. After all, its job quite
literally sucks.
