• Attach the desired nozzle (e.g., large combined nozzle for floors, crevice nozzle) to the end of the suction tubes.

1.4 Filter Installation

The type of filter depends on whether you are performing wet or dry vacuuming.

• For Dry Vacuuming: Install the paper dust collection bag inside the tank. Ensure it is properly seated around the inlet. Do not use the foam filter for dry vacuuming.
• For Wet Vacuuming: Place the foam filter over the motor unit's filter cage. Ensure it covers the cage completely. Do not use the paper dust collection bag for wet vacuuming.
