Filter

WARNING:
!
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing or cleaning 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.

Removal and Installation of

the Qwik Lock™ Filter (Fig. M)
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.
WARNING:
!
Do not operate without a filter cage and float,
as they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
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.
