Maintenance
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 parti-
cles of dust. The filter can be used for
small amounts of liquid pick up or dry
pick up. Handle the filter carefully when
removing to clean or installing it. Creases
in the filter pleats may occur from installa-
tion but creases will not affect the per-
formance of the filter.
Filter Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak vac performance.
Be sure to dry the filter 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 cause a lot of dust to
come out of your vac. Replace it
immediately.
Filter Removal
and Replacement
WARNING: Do not operate without
filter cage and float, as they prevent
liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. For dry material
pick-up, do not operate without the fil-
ter in place to reduce the risk of dam-
age to the motor.
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock
TM
filter
over the filter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the filter until the

filter cage and against the lid.
2. Align the small center hole in the top of
the filter over the Qwik Lock
TM
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.
