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 when installing it.
Creases in the filter pleats may occur
due to 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 the filter
tabs while pushing down on the stud.
3. This action will cause the filter to
release from the filter cage. Slide the
filter off cage.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pickup.
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 centre 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 by-passing
the filter.
