Emptying the Dirt Canister
& Replacing the Filter
Cartridge
The dirt canister – where the vacuumed dirt
is deposited – is the removable lower portion
of the power unit. The canister needs to be
removed and emptied when it is 2/3 full.
The filter cartridge should be replaced once
a year.
NOTE: When the dirt canister is removed
the Cyclonic Cone will be visible. The cone
is held in place with a friction seal designed
to hold the cone to the body of the power
unit when the canister is removed. The cone
can be removed by pulling on it. This allows
access to the replaceable pleated filter.
Follow these steps
(refer to Illustration #1, #2, #3 and #4)
Make sure the Power Unit is OFF.
1. Unlatch and remove the Dirt Canister.
Latches are located on opposite sides of
the power unit. (Illustration #1)
2. Remove the Cyclonic Cone.
(Illustration #2)
3. Turn the filter latch (counter-clockwise) on
the bottom of the filter and align it with
the slots in the filter base. (Illustration #3)
4. Remove the old filter and replace it with a
new pleated filter. Use filter part number
8106-01 for models FC300, FC550 and
FC650 and filter part number 8107-01
for model FC1550. (Illustration #4)
5. Lock the filter in place by turning the
filter latch clockwise until you feel it snap.

6. Dispose of the dirt and debris captured in
the dirt canister.
7. Seat the Cyclonic Cone in the dirt
canister.
8. Raise the dirt canister to the base of
the power unit and engage the latches.
Be certain the dirt canister is “seated”
properly to the gasket on the body of the
power unit.
