Dustless Cheetah II/Cougar Ashvac - Manual (Page 3)

Simply place the crimped end of the metal nozzle directly on the fire brick and rub in circular motion. This allows the ash to travel
through the hose quickly and without clogging. Move the larger pieces to the side or break up larger pieces, when necessary,
between nozzle & fire brick.
HOW TO SET-UP
1. Place the lid upside down on a flat surface. Place the
small, white inner filter with the finished side OUT over
the spring mounted vent on the underneath side of the
lid. Gently push the filter all the way on and compress
the springs, then let off all pressure allowing the cage
to push the filter back out into a relaxed position.
Secure filter with the 7” clamp to the lid so particles
are not allowed to go through to the motor.
2. Take the rod of the shaker basket and slide it through
the small hole in the lid. The filter support should be
between the outer and inner filters. Take the larger
filter with the seam IN, and place it over the filter
support basket (part #9P23) and fasten it securely with
the 10” clamp to the base of the lid. NOTE: The outer
filter’s bottom seam and the filter support basket
should line up and cross the center of the lid. Where
the filter attaches to the lid, there should be a
minimal amount of wrinkles. (NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK
FILTER BEFORE EASH USE TO ENSURE THAT IT FITS
SNUGLY IN PLACE AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION.)
3. From the top side of the lid, screw in the black agitator
rod cover finger tight only.
4. Place the lid on top of the canister and secure in place
with the 3 lid clamps.
5. Slide one end of the hose on to the port connection
on the side of the canister. This will be a snug fit.
Slide the metal nozzle into the other end of the hose
with the smallest end OUT. NOTE: Never use your
Ash Vacuum without the metal nozzle in place.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FILTERS
NOTE: DO NOT WASH THE FILTERS
Temporary Cleaning
(Often)
1. Always turn off your Ash Vacuum before cleaning the
filters.
2. Remove the black agitator rod cover from the lid.
3. OUTER FILTER – Lift the filter support basket rod
slightly and shake from side to side so the basket hits
the sides of the outer filter to break the crust of ash and
make the particles fall off.
INNER FILTER – Lift the filter support basket rod up and
down quickly two or three times so light contact is
made with the inner filter to slightly compress the
springs under the cage and make a snapping effect on
the filter as pressure is removed.
4. Replace the black agitator rod cover to the top of the lid.
Through Cleaning
(60-80 Gallons of ash)
1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Before removing the outer filter, vacuum along the hose
clamp so the dust that collects there will not fall inside
the filter when it is removed.
3. Remove the outer filter and vacuum the outside of the
inner filter and the inside of the outer filter.
4. Before reattaching the filters, inspect them for possible
holes which may allow ash to penetrate to the motor.
Silicone rubber sealant may be used to repair small
holes.
5. Reattach the filters to the lid making sure the filters and
hose clamps are placed properly and tightly.
