The SEA 100 Vacuum Cleaner is a powerful, cable-free cleaning solution designed to handle wet and dry debris around your home, garage, vehicle, workshop or jobsite. Powered by the STIHL AP System battery, this vacuum offers strong suction performance, professional-grade dust filtration, and the freedom of cordless operation — but like all quality tools, regular maintenance is key to long-lasting performance. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to keep your SEA 100 running at its best.
One of the simplest but most important maintenance tasks is emptying the SEA 100’s container after each use. With a generous 12-litre capacity, it can handle significant volumes of debris, but letting dust and liquids sit can:
Always dispose of collected debris appropriately, and ensure the container is dry before storage.
The SEA 100 comes equipped with a PET filter cartridge that captures finer dust particles, helping to maintain optimal suction and protect the vacuum’s internal motor. As you use the vacuum:
âś” Remove and tap out dust after each use
âś” Wash the reusable PET filter periodically (check manufacturer instructions on washing)
âś” Replace the filter if it becomes damaged or excessively worn
Keeping the filter clean helps ensure your vacuum runs efficiently at all times.

The SEA 100 includes a 2.2 m rotatable suction hose and multiple nozzles (universal floor and crevice), making it versatile for various surfaces. However, these attachments can trap debris like:
Action Steps:
A clear hose and clean nozzles help maximise suction and prevent strain on the vacuum motor.
The SEA 100 is powered by STIHL’s 36 V AP System lithium-ion battery (battery and charger sold separately), and proper battery maintenance is crucial. Even though the vacuum is cordless, battery health directly affects performance and runtime:
âś” Charge the battery fully before first use
âś” Avoid storing the battery in cold, damp areas
✔ Don’t leave the battery completely discharged for long periods
âś” Use compatible chargers for best results
Proper battery care helps you get the full 17–29 minute runtime depending on power mode.
Dust and grime can build up on the SEA 100’s exterior, especially if used in workshops or outdoor jobsites. Use a soft, damp cloth to:
A clean exterior prevents dust from entering sensitive areas and keeps your unit looking new.
One of the thoughtful design features of the SEA 100 is its integrated accessory and hose holders, which let you store nozzles, tubes and adapters directly on the machine. To keep everything organised and ready to use:
➤ Return accessories to their holders after cleaning
➤ Check that clips and holders are secure
➤ Store in a dry, dust-free location
Proper storage not only protects attachments but also helps maintain the vacuum’s usability over time.
Over time, components like seals, hose sections or nozzle edges may wear down from regular use. It’s a good idea to:
âś” Inspect rubber seals for cracks
âś” Check hose connections for tightness
âś” Replace worn nozzles or tubes
âś” Ensure the filter is intact
Addressing small issues early can prevent bigger problems later.
While most maintenance can be done at home, occasional professional servicing — especially for heavy or commercial use — can extend the life of your vacuum. A trained technician can:
🔹 Deep clean internal components
🔹 Test suction and motor health
🔹 Replace internal filters or worn parts
