Motor Filters
NOTE: Turn off power switch and unplug electrical cord before servicing. Never
operate vacuum cleaner without motor filter(s) or with defective filter(s).
The motor filter(s) must be kept clean for maximum efficiency and proper airflow.
Periodically replace disposable paper filter bag. The bag should be changed often when
vacuuming fine particles like plaster dust or powder substances which tend to clog filter(s).

cage.

over a suitable container to

in soapy water for further

should be completely dry before
using for dry pickup or for
storage.

cage; place rubber band around
bottom of foam filter if you plan
wet pick-up otherwise go to step
