Cleaning The Cyclone Filter - Husqvarna 968999239 Operator's Manual

Cleaning the cyclone filter

The cyclone filter collects the largest contaminant
particles, which collect in the container. When you
can see a layer of dirt at the bottom of the container,
the cyclone housing (4), air channels and air intake
screen (3) must be cleaned.
Remove the three screw holding the cyclone
housing. Remove the housing with the air intake
screen and remove the air channels.
The air channels may remain in the upper portion
or follow along with the housing when removed.
Clean the components. Use water, detergent and
a washing-up brush. Dry carefully.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Exercise care when reassembling to avoid
damaging anything.
Make sure when mounting that the air
intake screen fits exactly in its guide in
the upper portion.
Make sure the air channel ends up in the
proper position.
Refit the components. Place the air channels in
the cyclone housing. Insert cyclone housing into
position and make sure it fits in the upper portion.
DO NOT use force; rather coax it into place before
fitting the screws.
