Maintenance Tips
-
Empty & clean container regularly: Empty the dust/hazardous debris before it fills to capacity, and wipe the interior clean to preserve suction power.
-
Clean or replace filters: Use the automatic filter‑cleaning system during dry use; periodically remove and gently clean or replace the HEPA and flat filters to maintain airflow and capture efficiency.
-
Monitor wet pickup: When collecting liquids, turn off automatic filter cleaning, ensure water level limit systems work, and empty/clean the tank promptly to prevent sensor issues.
-
Inspect hose & connections: Check the anti‑static hose, cuffs, and seals for blockages or wear; clear obstructions to maintain consistent suction.
-
Keep cooling vents clear: Clean the cooling air diffusor and external vents to prevent dust build‑up around the motor and electronics.
-
Store properly: After use, unplug, coil the power cord neatly, and store in a clean, dry area to prevent moisture or dust damage.
