Maintenance

Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning filter.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop small particles of
dust. The filter can be used for dry pick
up or small amounts of liquid. Handle the
filter carefully when removing or installing
it. Creases in the filter pleats may occur
from installation but will not affect the
performance of the filter.
Filter Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Allow the filter to dry before storing or
picking up dry debris.
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 allow dust to come out of
your Vac. Replace it immediately.
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.
WARNING: Do not operate with-
out filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
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.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.
