Clean the air filter assembly periodically to maintain best
performance of the vacuum. If you notice a reduction in
suction power or a change in the sound of the unit during
use, the air filter assembly should also be cleaned.
To clean the air filter assembly:
 Remove the battery pack.
 Remove the dust bowl.
 Remove the pre-filter screen from the body of the vacuum.
Twist counterclockwise to release it from the housing
slots.
 Remove the air filter by pulling it straight off the filter
frame.
 Shake or lightly brush any dust off both the screen and
the filter. Rinse if necessary.
 Empty the dust bowl; rinse if necessary.
 Once the filter and screen are completely dry, place the
filter back into place.
 Insert the pre-filter screen over the filter in the housing.
Turn clockwise to secure it in the notches.
NOTE: Make sure the tab on top of the pre-screen filter
seats in the opening in the vacuum housing. The air filter
assembly must be correctly in place for the vacuum to
operate.
