FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONT'D)
WARNING
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of any kind (plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes, concrete dust, etc.)
a high efficiency drywall filter bag must be used. When vacuuming normal household dust and debris,
standard household disposable filter bags may be used.
WET PICK UP OPERATION
1. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry
use filters, including the filter bag, from the vacuum.
2. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter; follow
the instructions under dry pick up.
3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam sleeve. If a foam sleeve did not come standard with
your unit, one may be purchased at your local dealer, the Shop-Vac
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the instructions in this section.
4. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around the tank cover may occur if the filter becomes
saturated during wet pick up. If this occurs, remove the filter and allow to dry, or replace with another dry
filter.
5. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be
emptied. When the tank is full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer to the automatic suction shut
off section for more information. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the
instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.
6. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the
underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the filters to dry completely.
7. Wet pick up accessories should be washed periodically; especially after picking up wet, sticky kitchen
accidents. This can be accomplished with a warm solution of soap and water.
FOAM SLEEVE
1. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the foam sleeve down over the
lid cage, pulling until foam sleeve completely covers the lid cage.
2. Place the filter retainer onto the top of the foam sleeve. hold the tank cover with one
hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to lock the filter into place.
3. To clean the foam sleeve, hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer counter-
clockwise to loosen and remove. Slide the foam sleeve up and off the lidcage. Shake
excess debris off of the foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
4. hold foam sleeve under running water for a couple minutes, rinsing from the inside of the filter. A water
wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the filter.
5. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace with a new filter.
Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use the blower feature, clear the hose
of any debris or obstructions. Insert machine hose end into blower port located on the
back of the tank cover. Twist the hose end slightly to tighten the connection. Caution
should be used when using as a blower due to the powerful force of air when using
certain attachments.
