Record the fill level Compare the contents with MAX while the machine is stopped. Disconnect the charger and detach the wand and floor tool. Look for: Empty at MAX; routine earlier emptying is also possible. Source: dyson-v8-manual, p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear bin [ ] 2. Contain the dust Hold the machine by its handle above the waste bin. Enclose the clear bin tightly in a dustproof bag to reduce contact with dust. Keep your finger off the trigger. Look for: The bag can receive the dirt without blocking the emptying mechanism. Source: dyson-v8-manual, p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear bin [ ] 3. Raise the emptying lever Pull the red lever back toward you and lift it to raise the cyclone. Continue until the bin base opens and releases the dry dirt. Look for: The base opens through the normal release; resistance means stop, not extra force. Source: dyson-v8-manual, p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear bin [ ] 4. Finish emptying Carefully withdraw the machine from the bag, seal the bag and dispose of the dry contents normally. If residue remains on the bin, use the separate bin-wipe task. Look for: No loose object is caught where the base will close. Source: dyson-v8-manual, p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear bin [ ] 5. Lower the cyclone first Push the cyclone down to its normal position before closing the base. Look for: The cyclone is fully lowered; the base should not be forced against a raised cyclone. Source: dyson-v8-manual, p11 Emptying the clear bin; Cleaning the clear bin [ ] 6. Latch the base Close the base by hand until it clicks. Confirm it stays closed before reconnecting the wand and head. Stop if a catch cannot hold. Look for: The closed base and lowered cyclone are both secure.
