dirt container and filters

Cleaning the cyclone separator

1. Remove the dirt container from the unit as directed

above and dispose of dirt inside the container

before cleaning.

2. Rotate the lid of the dirt container anti-clockwise to

remove the dirt container off the cyclonic separator

(Fig 6/3).

The separator should be cleaned with a soft brush and

wiped with a damp cloth. The dirt container can be wiped

clean (Fig 6/4).

IMPORTANT: The cyclonic separator should not be

submerged in water.

When the cyclone separator has been cleaned and dried

completely, re-attach the dirt container to the lid of the

separator and return the dirt container to the unit.

Cleaning the pre-motor filter

NOTE: This is located on the rear of the unit, underneath

the pedals.

Release the pre-motor filter cover by sliding across the

release catch to the right. Lift off the filter cover to gain

access to the filter. Remove the filter by pulling the tab

towards you.(Fig 6/5).

Separate the foam filter from the fabric cassette. Each

filter can be tapped against the side of a dust bin to

remove the excess dirt and dust (Fig 6/6).

The pre-motor filters may be rinsed in warm water (max

40 deg.). Allow to air dry for 24 hours before replacing.

NOTE: Do not use any detergents or boiling water to

wash the filter. Vax recommends this filter should be

checked and cleaned periodically.

Once completely dry, return the pre-motor filters and case

to the vacuum cleaner. Replace the pre-motor filter cover

before restarting the vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning the Post-motor filter

NOTE:This is located on the base of the vacuum cleaner.

Rotate the post-motor filter cover lock clockwise, and

remove the cover as shown. Remove the filter by pulling

the tab towards you (Fig 6/7).
