Maintenance
NOTE: The Filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The Filter can be used
for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid.
Handle the Filter carefully when removing
to clean or installing it. Creases in the
Filter Pleats may occur from installation
but will not affect the performance of the
Filter.

Removal and Installation
of the Qwik Lock™ Filter
Filter Removal:
1. Hold the Filter Tabs of the Qwik
Lock™ Filter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™
Stud, which protrudes through the
integrated Filter Plate, lift up on the
Filter Tabs while pushing down on the
Stud.
3. This action will cause the Filter to
release from the Filter Cage.
Slide Filter off Cage.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
Blower Wheel and Motor, always reinstall
the Filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ Filter
over the Filter Cage and press down
on the outside edge of the Filter until
the Rubber Gasket on the bottom of
the Filter seats securely around the
base of the Filter Cage and against
the Powerhead Assembly.
2. Align the small center hole in the top
of the Filter over the Qwik Lock™ Stud
on the Filter Cage. Press firmly on top
of the Filter near the Stud to allow the
Filter to snap over the Ball on the end
of the Stud. The Filter is now attached.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the
bottom Gasket could result in debris
bypassing the Filter.
