NOTE: A polyethylene bag available on the market
can be used. 0.04 mm or thicker one is recommended.
NOTE: Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not
collect the dust more than the half of the bag capacity.
Emptying tank with polyethylene bag
WARNING:
Always make sure that the cleaner
is switched off and the battery cartridges are
removed before emptying the tank. Failure to do
so may cause an electric shock and serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
Do not apply a great impact on the float
cage and tank. Applying a great impact may cause
deformation and damage to the parts.
NOTICE:
Empty the tank at least once a day
although this depends on picked-up dust volume
in the tank. Or, the suction force will weaken and the
motor may be broken.
NOTICE:
Do not grab the hooks or latches when
emptying the tank. Grabbing the hooks or latches
may cause them to break.
Release the locking latches and lift the head unit up off the tank.
Shake off dust from the cloth filter or prefilter before
lifting the filter away from the tank.
Then remove the polyethylene bag out of the tank,
closing the opening of the bag by hand.

NOTE: Take the polyethylene bag out of the tank
carefully to avoid it from being scratched and torn by
the edges inside the tank.
NOTE: Empty the polyethylene bag before it
becomes full. Too much dust in the tank may cause
the polyethylene bag to be torn.

take them out according to your preferences.
