Emptying the Dirt Canister & Cleaning the Guard Screen
The dirt canister – where the vacuumed dirt
is deposited – is the removable lower portion
of the power unit. The canister needs to be
removed and emptied when it is 3/4 full. The
Motor Guard Screen should be cleaned each
time you empty the dirt canister.
The motor guard screen is located directly
above the dirt canister inside the power unit.
The guard screen is not removable, it is
designed to prevent lightweight fibers from
entering the motor impeller blades. A buildup
of material on the guard screen may result in
a loss of vacuum.
Follow these steps
(refer to Illustration #1, #2, and #3)
Make sure the Power Unit is OFF.
1. Unlatch and remove the Dirt Canister.
Latches are located on opposite sides of
the power unit. (Illustration #1)
2. Remove the dirt canister. Hold or place the
canister under the power unit to catch the
debris removed from the guard screen.
(Illustration #2)
3. Using a long handled brush, insert the
brush through the bottom of the dirt cone
reaching to the guard screen. Gently
“sweep” the screen to remove the debris.
(Illustration #3)
3. Dispose of the dirt and debris captured in
the dirt canister.
4. Raise the dirt canister to the proper
location under the power unit and engage
the latches. Be certain the dirt canister
is “seated” properly to the gasket on the
body of the power unit.
