FILTRATION SYSTEM
In order to maintain good air quality in your home, the power unit is equipped with a ltration
system� It consists of a permanent lter and an optional disposable ltration bag� The lter
separates dust from the air�
the permanent Filter
Husky’s ltration system will maintain its high performance
as long as it is well looked after�
SILPURE is a natural protection (GREEN) against odour-
causing bacteria which exploits the natural power of silver in
stopping the growth of bacteria� The permanent lter may
be machine-washed and tumble dried� It is recommended
that the dust canister be emptied every three (3) months or
more often depending on the use you make of your system�
The permanent lter should not be used when vacuuming moist or wet materials� It must be
removed and cleaned when emptying the canister�
IMPORTANT
DO NOT vacuum gypsum dust, our, mud, or any sludgy materials with the power
unit, except when the paper protection lter is slipped on the permanent lter.
If you are
not using a disposable ltration bag in addition to the permanent lter,
empty the dust canister regularly to ensure a longer-lasting life of the motor.
If you are
using the disposable ltration bag, it should be checked / changed as
often as you would empty the dust canister.
While emptying the power unit’s dust canister, the permanent lter should also be cleaned:
1� Unlatch the dust canister;
2� Wrap a plastic / paper bag around the lter and gently pat the lter to dislodge any loose
dust into the bag�
3� Empty the dust canister into a garbage bag�
NOTE
» We recommend that the permanent lter be deep-cleaned once a
year;
a� Remove the dust from the lter by gently patting it into a bag as
mentioned above;
b� Remove the lter by pulling it down;
c� Drop it into the washer;
d� Set the washer to a normal wash cycle (warm or cold water), then spin
dry (regular cycle) for 10 minutes;
e� Before replacing the lter, clean the inside of the ltration cage.
IMPORTANT
Do not turn lter inside out. It must be replaced over the cage on the same fabric
side as initially mounted in the factory.
It is very important that the lter be slipped over the metal rim located at the top of
the cage. In order to prevent any dust inltration into the motor, the cage must be
completely covered by the lter;
f� Clip the dust canister back onto the casing.
the disposable Filtration baG
In order to maximize your system’s ltration capabilities, every Husky power unit comes with a
disposable ltration bag� See below instructions on replacing the disposable ltration bag:
DISPOSABLE FILTRATION BAG VACUUM MODEL
FILTRE-186 P20-290-NA-CCA
The disposable ltration bag should be changed at least every 3 months to ensure proper
functioning of the power unit�
To change the ltration bag, please proceed as follows:
1� Unlatch the dust canister;
2� Remove the disposable bag from the elbow attachment by gently pulling on both sides of
the cardboard cu;
3� Dispose of the full bag;
4� Slip the new disposable ltration bag onto the elbow xture by gently pressing on both
sides of the cardboard cu until it reaches the stop notch on the elbow�
IMPORTANT
The warranty will be void if non-recommended lters are used to repair the unit.
Husky recommends strongly to use only Husky certied lters
DUST CANISTER
Excessive accumulation of dust and dirt in the canister will reduce the system’s eciency� It is
advisable to empty the canister frequently� The unit is equipped with a high-level oat shuto
system which will block o the vacuum when the uid level gets to a certain level� The unit
should then be shut o and the vacuum canister emptied�
To get maximum eciency from your vacuum system, it is recommended to clean the canister,
the canister gasket and the ltration cage with a damp sponge or cloth after each vacuuming
of wet or sludgy materials�
IMPORTANT
Do make sure the canister and the ltration cage are dry and clean before putting
back in place the permanent lter and ltration bag.
FLEXIBLE HOSE AND PIPING
After vacuuming wet or heavy and sludgy materials such as mud, it is advisable to thoroughly
clean the piping, the exible hose as well as all accessories used by vacuuming clean water
from the same vacuum inlet� Let the unit vacuum air for a few minutes afterwards to empty
the piping of all residue and help dry it� This precaution will help prevent clogging and/or
bacteria growth in the piping�
IMPORTANT
For security measure, do not forget to take o the permanent lter and the paper
protection lter before vacuuming water to clean the piping as they could keep the
oater from functioning properly.
MOTOR
All units are equipped with a soft-start control module and have a LED communicating the
system status (see g� 5 in section 9 for more details on LED colour interpretation)� When the
LED changes to amber, it is time to make an appointment with a Husky certied technician for
a complete check-up of the unit� This mandatory maintenance will extend the life of the unit
and keep the warranty valid� If it is still not carried out after 20 hours of additional operating,
the device will automatically switch o as a safety measure�
All systems also have a mini breaker (power cut-o) directly connected to the module which
protects the motor against an overload and prevents overheating�
HOSE HANDLE
Wipe the hose handle regularly with a moist towel to avoid buildup�
