cartridge filter down over the lid cage, pushing until the filter
seals against cover (Figure 7). Foam sleeve will remain in
place. Place filter retainer intothe top of the cartridge filter,
and holding the tank cover with one hand, turn the handle
on the filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter
into place (Figures 8 & 9). To remove the filter for cleaning,
again hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer coun-
terclockwise to loosen and remove, then slide the cartridge
filter off the lid cage (Figures 10 & 11). TOclean the car-
tridge filter, shake or brush off excess dirt (Figure 12) or
rinse (from the inside of the filter) with water (Figure 13).

Your vac filter is color coded with a black stripe. When
replacing, just match the color.
