This system uses a sealed HEPA type bag.  The mass of 

dirt and debris is picked up by your vacuum and depos-

ited into the bag inside your dirt canister.  

Emptying your Dirt Can

To remove accumulation, follow these steps:

Remove the lid by unhooking the clamps & releasing 

the latches on the top of the canister.  (Fig. 1)  Lift lid 

straight up.  (Fig. 2)

Remove the bag by sliding the rubber gasket that sur-

rounds the hole in the paper bag off the plastic inlet stem 

that protrudes through the front of the canister.   (Fig. 3)

Once the bag is off of the inlet stem, seal the bag by 

removing the backing from the tab and cover the hole 

with the flap.  Press the flap so that it securely seals 

over the hole (Fig. 4).  This will help prevent dirt and 

dust from escaping.  Now, lift the paper bag from the 

dirt canister and place in a suitable trash container. 

 
Take a new bag and extend it fully (Fig. 5).

If bag breaks...

In the event of a bag breaking while in the unit, it is 

necessary to lift the plate located under the bag and 

clean the small screen.

The bag should be changed or cleaned when there is 3-6 inches of dirt or 

anytime there is a noticeable reduction of air flow at the cleaning

tool.  Initially, the dirt canister should be checked or emptied weekly  until some 

idea can be obtained as to how long it takes to half fill the canister under your 

normal cleaning routine.   All   vacuum   systems   will   function  more effectively 

if they are emptied frequently.  Under no circumstances should you allow your 

dirt canister to become more than 3/4 full before emptying.

Place bag in the canister, and slide its rubber gasket 

onto the inlet stem until the rubber gasket drops into 

place in the ridge that is around the inlet stem (Fig. 6).

Carefully replace the lid onto the dirt canister to 

ensure that it seals properly.  Not doing so could cause 

a vacuum leak and reduce the cleaning efficiency of 

your system.  Once properly on top, secure the lid with 

the latches by hooking the clip over the side of the 

lid and pushing down on the lever to lock into place. 

Repeat for each side.
