Compatible Applications

Function of the Pre-Filter

The 90640311 Pre-Filter is a vacuum filtration component used to:

• Capture larger dust particles and loose debris
• Collect hair, lint, crumbs, and similar material
• Help prevent premature clogging of the primary filter
• Support consistent airflow through the vacuum
• Help protect internal components from debris
• Maintain dependable suction performance
• Restore proper filtration functionality

A clean and properly installed pre-filter helps air move through the vacuum efficiently while reducing the amount of debris reaching the primary filter.

Common Signs Replacement Is Needed

Replace or inspect the pre-filter if you notice:

• Pre-filter is torn, cracked, warped, or missing
• Filter no longer fits securely
• Suction performance has decreased
• Dust escapes from the vacuum
• Primary filter clogs unusually quickly
• Debris reaches the motor-side filter area
• Pre-filter remains clogged after cleaning
• Material has hardened or deteriorated
• Filter assembly does not seat correctly

A damaged or excessively clogged pre-filter can restrict airflow, reduce suction, and allow debris to reach other filtration components.

Installation & Service Notes

Turn off the hand vacuum and disconnect it from its charger or power source before servicing the filter assembly. Remove the battery if the model uses a removable battery.

Open or remove the dirt bowl according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Remove the existing filter components, empty accumulated debris, and clean the surrounding filter area. Install the Black & Decker 90640311 Pre-Filter in the correct orientation, reinstall the primary filter where applicable, and secure the dirt bowl before operating the vacuum.

Important: Never operate the hand vacuum without the required filters properly installed. If the pre-filter is washable, allow it to dry completely before reinstallation. Always follow the cleaning instructions provided for your specific vacuum model.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Empty the dirt bowl after regular use
• Remove loose debris from the pre-filter frequently
• Clean the pre-filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions
• Allow washable components to dry completely before reinstallation
• Inspect the pre-filter for tears, warping, and deterioration
• Clean or replace the primary filter when necessary
• Never use damaged or incorrectly fitted filtration components
• Use genuine OEM replacement parts to maintain proper fit, airflow, and suction performance
