MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Failure to properly seat the bottom Gasket could
result in debris bypassing the Filter.
NOTE:
This Filter is made of high quality paper designed
to stop very small particles of dust. The Filter can be used
for wet or dry pick up. Handle the Filter carefully when
removing to install or clean. Creases in the Filter pleats
may occur from installation but creases will not affect the
performance of the Filter.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce the risk of damage to the Blower
Wheel and Motor, always reinstall the Filter before using
the Vac for dry material pickup.
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.

Filter Installation

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
