Dry Filter
1.Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the filter
from the vac by slapping your hand on
topof the lidwhile the vac is off.
2. After filter removal from vac, remove the
dry debris by gently tapping the filter
against the inside wall of your dust drum
andthe debris will loosen and fall,
NOTE: For best results of cleaning due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
3. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris) you may run water
through it as described under "Wet
Filter".
Wet Filter
After filter is removed, a wet filter should be
cleaned by running water through it from a
hose or spigot. Take care that water
pressure from the hose is not strong
enough to damage filter.
IMPORTANT: You can quickly dry the filter
by running the vac without the hose
assembly attached for approximately 10
minutes with filter in place to speed up
drying. Check the filter for tears or small
holes. Even a small hole can cause a lot of
dust to come out of your vac. Do not use a
filter with holes or tears in it. Replace it
immediately.
Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak vac performance.
NOTE: Be sure to dry the filter before
storing or picking up dry debris.
