the tank cover.

Slide the filter bag collar over the inlet deflector, matching the notches of the bag collar to
the tabs on the inlet deflector. Bag will only fit properly one way (Figure 45).

TEAR RESISTANT WET / DRY COLLECTION BAG
The tear resistant wet / dry collection bag can be used in conjunction with the cartridge filter
for picking up dry debris. The bag is not required for dry pick up; however, it makes it easier
to remove the debris and keeps the tank clean. When picking up fine dust or powders a high
efficiency bag must be used. The high efficiency bags are for dry use only and do not come
standard with this model.
The tear resistant wet / dry collection bag can also be used in conjunction with the foam
sleeve when picking up liquids or using the pump feature. The bag traps medium to large
debris that may be contained in the liquid, while allowing the liquid to flow through the
bag and deposit into the vacuum's tank. The bag is not required for wet pick up, but it is
recommended when the liquid contains debris that could damage the vacuum's motor. NOTE:
If the bag is used for wet pick up, it must be removed from the tank and hung up to dry.
To install the bag:
1. With cord disconnected from the receptacle, pull latches in an outward motion and remove
the tank cover.
2. Unscrew hose locking-nut and remove hose from inlet (Figure 43).
3. Remove the inlet deflector from the deflector guide. NOTE: Hose must be removed before
the inlet deflector can be taken out (Figure 44).
4. Position the inlet deflector with the opening facing the left or the right side of the filter bag.
Slide the filter bag collar over the inlet deflector, matching the notches of the bag collar to
the tabs on the inlet deflector. Bag will only fit properly one way (Figure 45).
5. Slide the inlet deflector with the filter bag attached into the deflector guide (Figure 46).
6. Reinsert hose into inlet and tighten the locking-nut (Figure 47).
7. When secured in place, expand the filter bag and position around the inside of the tank.
Replace tank cover.
NOTE: When removing filter bag from tank, remove the inlet deflector from the filter bag
collar. Reinstall inlet deflector into deflector guide. Inlet deflector must be in place for any
type of cleaning.
8. When secured in place, expand the filter bag and position around the inside of the tank
Replace tank cover.
To remove the bag:
1. If the bag was used for wet pick up, move the vacuum outside or to a floor that won't get
damaged if the liquid drips onto it.
2. Make sure the cord is disconnected from the receptacle, the tank cover is removed and the
hose is disconnected from the tank inlet.

removing the bag from the tank, insert the plastic tab connected to the collar into the bag
opening.
4. If the bag was used for dry pick up, simply grasp the plastic handle and remove from the
tank.
5. If the bag was used for wet pick up, grasp the plastic handle and slowly lift up on the bag.
Allow the liquid to drain from the bag into the tank. If the bag is not full, hang it up and allow
it to dry completely. Once dry, check the bag for tears or holes. If none are found the bag can
be reinstalled.
NOTE: Additional collection bags are available at your local dealer or the Shop-Vac ®
website.
WARNING FOR FINE DUST & POWDERS
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of any kind (ex. 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.
These "large bag" filters connect to the air inlet fitting on the inside of the vacuum tank.

WET PICK UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of
conversion when going from dry to wet pick up. Remove all dry use filters from the vacuum.
A clean cartridge filter may be used for vacuuming small amounts of liquids. For proper
installation of the cartridge filter refer to Installing the Cartridge Filter. For best results when
vacuuming large quantities of liquid, remove the cartridge filter. When vacuuming liquids
containing debris, it is recommended purchasing a foam sleeve and install over filter cage;
otherwise a foam sleeve is not required for wet pick up. Foam sleeve and additional filters may
be purchased by visiting our website at www. shopvac.com, contacting our customer service
department, or purchasing at your local Shop-Vac
Misting in exhaust air may occur if the filter becomes saturated during wet pick up. If misting
occurs, remove filter and allow to dry or, replace with another dry filter to eliminate the misting
and possible dripping of liquid around the lid. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing
a wet pick-up job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied. Raise the hose to drain any
excess liquid into the tank. The interior of the tank should be periodically cleaned.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover. Place
tank cover in an upside down position. Remove foam sleeve by sliding it up and off the lid
cage.
2. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water
wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the foam sleeve.
4. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The
foam sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
NOTE: 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.
BLOWER FEATURE
Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use your unit
as a blower, clear hose of any obstruction. Insert machine hose
end into blower port on rear of unit (Figure 48). Twist 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.
WARNING
PREVENT ROCKS OR DEBRIS FROM BEING BLOWN OR RICOCHETING
INTO THE EYES OR FACE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTES FROM THE TANK
Not all units are equipped with tank drains. Follow the instructions, which apply to
your specific unit.
Without Tank Drain
Liquid waste may be emptied by removing the tank cover. To empty, stop the motor and
remove the plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the tank cover and deposit the liquid
waste contents in a suitable drain. After tank is empty, return the cover to its original
position. To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on.
