Removal and Installation of
the Qwik lock™ Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug the power cord before
changing or cleaning the filter.
Remove Power head Assembly to
Access the Filter:
1. Grasp the drum latches on both the
right and left side of the power head
assembly. Slowly pull the drum latches
away from the drum. Lift the power
head assembly off the drum. Place the
lid and power head assembly upside
down on the dust drum.
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 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.
