MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
NOTE: The Filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop small particles of
dust. The Filter can be used for dry pick
up or small amounts of liquid. Handle the
Filter carefully when removing or installing
it. Creases in the Filter Pleats may occur
from installation but will not affect the
performance of the Filter.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the
bottom Gasket and Integrated Filter Plate
to the Filter Cage could result in debris
bypassing the Filter.
Filter Removal:
1. Place fingers under the two Filter Tabs.
2. While pressing down with one thumb
on the Qwik Lock™ Stud that protrudes
through the center of the Filter Plate,
lift up on the Tabs until Filter releases.
3. Slide Filter off Filter Cage.
IMPORTANT: To avoid blower wheel and
motor damage always reinstall filter before
using Vac for dry pickup.

1. Slide the Qwik Lock™ Filter over the
Filter Cage while aligning the Qwik
Lock™ Stud on the Filter Cage with
the center hole in the Qwik Lock™
Integrated Filter Plate.
2. Make sure the Rubber Gasket at the
bottom of the Qwik Lock™ Filter seats
around the base of the Filter Cage.
