MAINTENANCE
FILTER
The filter is composed of an exclusive polyester fiber that is designed to filter a wide range of materials while offering low maintenance and product durability. During normal use, the filter should be cleaned as needed. The service life of filter can be extended through periodic cleaning. Shake loose dirt off the element. Compressed air can be used to loosen more stubborn particles; however, excessively high pressure can damage the filter.
The polyester filter can be washed using a mild detergent and water. Brushes, especially wire brushes, should not be used because they will permanently damage the polyester media. The entire filter can be removed from the vacuum. Soak it in cleaning solution, rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
The filter is held in place by a 3/8″ nut and rubberized washer. To remove the filter, remove the nut and washer and pull off the filter. When putting the new filter in place, tighten until the gasket is compressed.
If the black gasket end of the filter is worn, the filter will not seal properly in the housing. This will allow dust to bypass the filter and damage the vacuum’s motor. If the black gasket end of the filter is worn, the filter should be replaced.
