Filter

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning Filter.
NOTE: The Filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The Filter can be used
for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid.
Handle the Filter carefully when removing
to clean or installing it. Creases in the
Filter pleats may occur from installation
but will not affect the performance of the
Filter.
WARNING:
without Filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.

Cleaning A Dry Filter

NOTE: For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the Filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
1. Light cleaning of some dry debris from
the Filter can be accomplished without
removing the Filter from the Vac.
Simply slap your hand on top of the
handle while the Vac is turned off.
2. Remove Filter from Vac. Gently tap the
Filter against the inside wall of your
dust drum and the debris will loosen
and fall.
3. For thorough cleaning of a dry Filter
with fine dust (no debris) you may run
water through it as described under
"Cleaning A Wet Filter" Section.

MAINTENANCE

Do not operate

Cleaning A Wet Filter

After Filter is removed, run water through
Filter from a hose or spigot. Take care that
the water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage Filter.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
Filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a
Filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small
hole may can cause a lot of dust to come
out of your Vac. Replace it immediately.
Allow the Filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac or picking up dry
debris.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e.; waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
