Filters
Do not operate cleaner without HEPA filters in place.
To protect the HEPA filter it is recommended that the
vacuum be used with Micro-Prefilter part number 13141
and HEPA filter cover part number 13301.
All filters should be discarded after use, no attempt to
clean filters should be made.
To assure that your cleaner operates at peak performance,
it is imperative that you use only genuine DUSTLESS
TECHNOLOGIES filters.
HEPA Filters:
It is recommended to use part #13141 - micro prefilter with
your vacuum. Micro Prefilters #13141 are available. They
are recommended to be used on any fine dust application
such as sanding drywall. This is a disposable bag and
should be thrown away when full.
How to Clean Filters:
Special note for HEPA filters: All HEPA filters should
be discarded after use, no attempt to clean filters should
be made.
Turn the unit off then remove the brass agitator rod
cover from the top of the cleaner lid. The agitator rod will
be exposed. Lift the agitator rod about 1/2 inch and rock
from side to side. The lid acts as a pivot point for the filter
support basket, located underneath the lid. The rocking
motion of the basket agitates the primary filter to knock
off the layer of dust that has accumulated. This will make
the suction resume. After a period of time, when suction
is reduced and cleaning the filters with the agitator rod is
not sufficient, the filters may be replaced or laundered
and reused.
Micro Prefilters are disposable and will hold 20-30 lbs.
of dust.
HEPA Wet/Dry Vacuum Filter assembly:
The HEPA Filter is placed over the crosspiece stud. The
threads will protrude through the hole in the middle of the
HEPA filter. Slide the provided rubber
washer (part #91522) over the threads
of the stud with the rubber side against
the HEPA Filter. Screw down the
wing nut (part #91523) and slightly
compress the rubber washer. It will
compress about 1/2 of its original
thickness. Next place the HEPA Filter
Cover Support on top of the HEPA filter
and finally place the HEPA Filter Cover
over the filter and cover. Attach the
filter cover with the 10” band clamp
using a flat blade screwdriver.
Turn right side up and screw the brass
agitator rod cover into the top of the
lid - only finger tight!! Do not over
tighten. This part must be in place to
maintain suction.
Dry Pickup:
To protect the HEPA filter, always use Micro-Prefilter part
number 13141 and HEPA filter cover part number 13301.
The HEPA filter cover will fit snugly over the HEPA filter
with the seams on the inside. The HEPA filter cover is
secured in place to the HEPA filter with the supplied 12"
hose clamp. The hose clamp is tightened with the band
over the solid metal base and should never be tightened on
the expanded metal part of the HEPA filter. Follow the
detailed instructions on HEPA filter assembly.
After Dry Pickup:
Disconnect the cleaner from electrical outlet.
Release lid clips and remove motor lid assembly and
intermediate cover from tank. Dispose of Micro-Prefilter
bag and contents into a suitable receptacle.
To avoid back strain, do not lift a full tank.
