On-site vs off-site construction

With the bin in its forward position, press the bin release button (it has an arrow on it) and slide the bin off the vacuum cleaner..

The bag also protects the vacuum’s motor from clogging particles.By using a bag, you’re extending Henry’s lifespan.. It’s also worth noting that Numatic – the manufacturers of Henry vacuums – always recommend using a bag.

If your vacuum gets damaged due to not using a bag, then this may affect the warranty.. A quick history lesson….When the first Henry was released, it had a much less powerful motor than the modern version.This meant that the original Henry.

be used with or without a bag – and Numatic even used this bagged/bagless design as a selling point.. As the motor power increased, however, the increased airflow picked up far too much dirt, dust, and other debris for the secondary filter to cope.This filter quickly became clogged, leading to reduced performance.

The high air flow also made it more likely that dirt made its way into the motor..

It was at this point that Numatic changed their advice to always recommending a bag.Some filters can be squeezed to remove excess water, while others can be damaged by this.

Check your manual to see which can be squeezed or twisted..Allow the filter to dry for at least 24 hours before putting them back into the machine.

Do not use a tumble dryer to dry your filters.. Keep in mind that just because there isn’t any visible clogging on the filters doesn’t mean they are clean.A build-up of dust can occur inside the filter, which reduces suction without being easily visible..
