Reassembly
Reassembly for normal filter
1. Put on filter until it is fully in position on the cleaner
unit.
► Fig.16: 1. Filter
► Fig.17: 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 housing,
and cause motor failure.
2. 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
3.
Connect capsule. Align O mark on capsule with O
mark on handle and then firmly twist capsule in direction
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.
NOTE: Always be sure to check that both filter and
prefilter 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 prefilter are
not loaded correctly. Reload them correctly to rectify
problem.
Problem Examples
Example 1: Only prefilter has been loaded (no filter)
