Hello, I would like to know how to attach the vacuum bag to a Ryobi 20L wet-dry vacuum shop vac. The instructions don't say anything about how and the hole on the vac bag looks too small for the attachment on the inside. However, the inside looks like it's got a screwed in spout and I'm now sure I'm meant to unscrew it to fit the vacuum bag. I've now watched a heap of videos on how to switch the filter from dry to wet, but nothing on how to attach a vacuum bag.

Thank you - the instruction manual that came with my model was so confusing. Not only did the drawings look slightly different they were telling me to tighten parts when it was meant to be loosened. Maybe you can add some words with your pictures next time?
