The Wet/Dry Vacs are supplied with

quality paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The Filter can be used

carefully when removing to clean or
installing it. Creases in the Filter pleats
may occur from installation but not affect
the performance of the Filter.

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.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the
bottom Gasket could result in debris
bypassing the Filter.
WARNING:
!
Do not operate without filter cage
and float, as they prevent liquid
from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
