GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BIG SHARK
The post motor filter is a washable filter
but should be replaced every three (3)
months depending on usage.
• Disconnect from electrical outlet
before cleaning or changing the filter.
• Remove the exhaust cover from the
rear of the unit.
• Rinse the post motor filter in
lukewarm water and dry the filter
completely. Do not use a washing
machine to rinse the filter. Do not
use a hair dryer to dry it. Air dry only
for 24 hours. Never operate the
vacuum without the post motor filter
in place.
• A severely clogged filter should be
thoroughly washed with fresh tepid
water. A mild detergent can be used
if required.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped
with a motor protective thermostat. If
for some reason the vacuum cleaner
should overheat, the thermostat will
automatically turn the unit off. Should
this occur:
• Push the On/Off button once.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source.
• Check the source of overheating
problem. (i.e. clogged hose or
filter)
• If clogged hose or filter is found,
unclog the hose and replace the
filters.
• Wait at least 45 minutes before
attempting to reuse the vacuum.
• After unit has cooled down for
45 minutes, plug in the cleaner
and push the On/Off button. The
vacuum should start again.
