Using The Unit With Air
Driven Turbo Brush
The efficiency of your air driven turbo
brush depends on the bristle brush
rotating at high speed. Strong air suction
is needed to accomplish this. In order to
ensure that maximum air suction is
maintained, please read the following
instructions:
1. Empty the dust cup frequently.
2. Always "TAPCLEAN" the HEPA dust
cup filter when emptying the dust cup
container.
3. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept
free of hair and string which may
accumulate and decrease brush
performance.
4. Keep Air Driven Turbo Brush turbine
free of dirt and foreign matter. (See
illustration below for cleaning
instructions.)

From time to time, the turbine of your
turbo brush will require cleaning. To do
this:
1. Remove the turbo brush from the hose
or unit.
2. Turn turbo brush over and open the
hinged cover to access the turbine
wheel. (see fig. 1)
3. There may be some dust, lint, hair, etc
on the turbine wheel. Remove as much
of this as possible.
4. You may also use the unit’s hose to
remove any additional debris from the
turbine.

Cleaning & Changing the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter
Warning: Always unplug the unit from
electrical outlet before opening the Dust
Cup (container).
Important: Do NOT use the HEPA filter
cartridge without the debris screen in
place.
Warning: After each Use - Always
remove the Filter Debris Screen from the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter, then vigorously
“TapClean” HEPA Filter until no more
dust can be removed.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter &
Debris Screen will stop most of the tiniest
dust particles from re-entering the air you
breathe. In fact it stops 99.97% of all
particles as small as 0.3 microns - many
times smaller than a human hair!!!
Because of this incredible filtration
performance, the HEPA Dust Cup Filter
will quickly accumulate, inside the white
filter folds, many fine dust particles that
are difficult to see but which will eventually
block or reduce your suction power - if not
cleaned properly. Clean the HEPA Filter
and Debris Screen after each use as
described in this section.
1. To open the Dust Cup (container),
push button and detach the Dust
Cup (container ). (Fig. 2)
2. Pull out the HEPA Dust Cup Filter.
