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 Power Head Assembly.
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.

Maintenance
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.
