Filter

Filter care

The wet/dry filter 18 included with this vacuum is a long life filter. To be effective in minimizing dust recirculation the filters MUST be installed correctly and in good condition.

NOTE: A clean filter is the most important factor in the operation and efficiency of any vacuum. If the filter becomes clogged beyond cleaning, damaged, or fails to operate properly, replace only with a recommended replacement filter.

TO CLEAN OR CHANGE THE FILTER (Fig. F)

1. Turn vacuum off. Remove the battery pack.

2. Unlatch the tank latches 5 and remove the power head from the tank as shown in figure E. Unlock the filter lock 19 by twisting it counter clockwise. Pull the filter 18 out to remove it from the power head.

3. Clean the filter by shaking off excess dust, tapping into a waste receptacle, then rinsing under running water. Depending on the condition of the filter, a water wash is not always required. Do not use a brush to clean filter.

4. Reinstall filter and secure the filter lock onto power head. Twist the filter lock clockwise and ensure the filter is locked in place.
5. Replace power head onto the tank and secure latches. NOTE: Please contact your local service center or go to https://servicenet.portercable.com to purchase a filter.

Blower

The blower function can be used to remove debris from behind small spaces, to dry a damp floor, to blow grass clippings or leaves from an outside walk, patio, etc.

2. Twist the vacuum hose 2 counter clockwise to remove from the intake port.
