Prior to disassembling the engine, make sure the vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged. Safety is essential during any maintenance or repair work.

Locate the dustbag compartment on your Folletto VK 135 vacuum cleaner and open it. Carefully remove the dustbag by pulling it out gently. Dispose of the old dustbag responsibly.
Step 3: Remove the Cover
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws securing the cover of the vacuum engine. Place the screws in a container to keep them organized and prevent loss. Carefully lift the cover off the vacuum cleaner and set it aside.
