To install a shop vac bag based on a common method, you will slide the filter bag collar over the inlet deflector, aligning the bag's notches with the deflector's tabs.
Step-by-Step Bag Installation
Installing a disposable filter bag in your shop vacuum involves securing the bag's opening to the vacuum's inlet port located inside the drum. According to instructions for installing a Shop-Vac disposable filter bag:
- Slide the filter bag collar over the inlet deflector.
- Make sure to match the notches of the bag to the tabs on the inlet deflector.
This specific action ensures that the bag's collar forms a secure and sealed connection around the vacuum's inlet, allowing debris to be effectively directed into the bag. Aligning the notches on the bag collar with the corresponding tabs on the inlet deflector is key to achieving a proper fit and preventing dust leakage within the vacuum.
Ensuring this alignment is correct is a vital step in preparing your shop vacuum for effective dust and debris collection using a disposable filter bag.
