Changing the Post Motor Filter

PLEASE NOTE: Always disconnect the Dyson from the mains before commencing work.

1. Start by removing the cyclone/bin assembly from the main body.

 

2. Remove the post motor filter housing by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver under the locating tab at the front of the post motor filter lid. (Later models also have locating tabs on the sides of the filter lid as well as the front.)

 

3. Beneath the lid you will find, depending on the model, one of the following filters.

Post Motor Filter Pad		Post Motor HEPA Filter

Regardless of which filter you have, when the bottom of the filter reaches the condition of the one in the illustration below it must be changed. Please note: They must not be washed.

 

Reassembly is a simple matter of reversing the steps listed above.
