Cleaning A Dry Filter
NOTE:
For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
1. Remove filter from Vac. Gently tap the
filter against the inside wall of your dust
drum and the debris will loosen and
fall.
2. For thorough cleaning of a dry filter
with fine dust (no debris) you may run
water through it as described in the
“Cleaning A Wet Filter” Section.
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage filter.
IMPORTANT:
After cleaning, check the
filter for tears or small holes. Do not use
a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a
small hole can cause a lot of dust to
come out of your Vac. If your filter is
damaged or worn,
Replace the filter
immediately
.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
Maintenance
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
Cleaning Vac Filter
Be sure to dry the filter before storing or
picking up dry debris.
Filter Removal and Installation
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:
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 lid.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pickup.
