clogged or the motor to be damaged.
Disposing of dust for normal filter

Reassembly
Reassembly for normal filter
Put on filter until it is fully in position on the cleaner unit.
► Fig.16: 1. Filter
NOTE:
• Make sure filter is put on straight without being
peeled back. If filter is put on incorrectly as
shown in diagram, dust will get into motor hous-
ing, and cause motor failure.
► Fig.17: 1. Filter
Connect prefilter. At this time, make sure to twist prefil-
ter so that securing lip is firmly locked into cleaner unit.
► Fig.18: 1. Prefilter
► Fig.19
Connect capsule. Align O symbol on capsule with O
symbol on handle and then firmly twist capsule in direc-
tion of arrow until it is secured.
► Fig.20: 1. O Mark
► Fig.21: 1. Handle 2. Capsule
NOTE:
• Always remove dust ahead of time, as suction
power will be reduced if there is too much dust
in cleaner.
• Always be sure to check that both filter and pre-
filter are loaded correctly prior to using cleaner.
If they are not loaded correctly, dust will get into
the motor housing, and cause motor failure.
If the following examples occur, filter and prefil-
ter are not loaded correctly. Reload them cor-
rectly to rectify problem.
