3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the filter is crucial for optimal vacuum performance. These filters are designed to be used with a 90585 foam sleeve (not included in this package, but typically comes with your vacuum or can be purchased separately).

Installation Steps:

1. Ensure your vacuum cleaner is unplugged from the power source before beginning installation.
2. Remove the top motor assembly from the vacuum tank.
3. Locate the filter cage or float cage on the motor assembly.
4. If replacing an old filter, carefully remove it and dispose of it properly.
5. Slide the 90585 foam sleeve (if not already present) onto the filter cage.
6. Place the KEEPOW VF2002 filter over the foam sleeve, ensuring it is centered on the filter cage.
7. Secure the filter in place using one of the provided retaining belts. Ensure the belt is snug to prevent air leakage.
8. Carefully place the motor assembly back onto the vacuum tank, ensuring it is securely latched.
9. Your vacuum is now ready for use.

4. Operating Instructions

These KEEPOW VF2002 filters are specifically designed for dry use only. They are ideal for picking up everyday dirt, larger debris, and dry materials. Using these filters for wet vacuuming can damage the filter and potentially the vacuum cleaner itself.

For wet vacuuming applications, a different type of filter (typically a foam sleeve without a paper filter) is required. Always refer to your vacuum cleaner's specific manual for wet operation instructions.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

The KEEPOW VF2002 filters are washable and reusable, offering an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution. Regular cleaning extends the lifespan of the filters and maintains optimal vacuum performance.

Cleaning Steps:

1. Remove the filter from the vacuum cleaner as described in the "Setup and Installation" section.
2. Gently tap the filter to dislodge any loose debris.
3. Rinse the filter under running water. You can use the provided cleaning tool to brush off stubborn dirt.
4. Ensure all dirt and debris are thoroughly rinsed from the filter.
5. Allow the filter to air dry completely before re-installing it into the vacuum. It is crucial that the filter is fully dry to prevent mold growth and maintain filtration efficiency.
6. For best results and to ensure continuous use, it is recommended to wash these filters every 2-3 months, or more frequently depending on usage, and allow them to dry before reuse. Having multiple filters (as provided in this pack) allows for alternation while one is drying.
