WET PICK-UP
See the Shop-Vac® vacuum filter guide on page 4 to
determine which type of wet filtration is best for your
needs. Remove the dry filters plus all dirt and debris
found in the tank assembly. Wet pick-up requires only
the foam sleeve OR cartridge filter to be in place.
Do not use dry filters for wet pick-up. When picking
up several tanks full of liquid, the filter will become
saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust air.
At this time, you should dry the filter or change to a dry
filter to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of
liquid around the lid. After completing a wet pick-up
job, raise the hose to drain into tank before shutting off
the vac. The interior of the tank should be periodically
rinsed clean.
NOTE: Wet pick-up accessories should be
washed periodically with soap and water,
especially after picking up wet, sticky liquids.
DRY PICK-UP
See the Shop-Vac® vacuum filter guide on page 4 to
determine which type of dry filtration is best for your
needs. Better quality filtration is required for finer dry
materials. Collection filter bags are recommended for
very fine materials such as dry wall dust.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very
fine dust, such as sawdust or dry wall dust, it
will be necessary to empty the tank and clean
the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain
maximum pick-up power or upgrade to
collection filter bags.
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN
The efficiency of these vacuum cleaners is largely
dependent on the filter. A clogged filter can cause
overheating and possibly damage the vacuum
cleaner. Clean or replace filters regularly. Do not use
the vacuum or filters for collecting hazardous or other
health endangering materials.
NOTE: Never machine wash or dry filters.
CARTRIDGE FILTER MAINTENANCE
This filter is made of high-quality paper designed to stop
small particles of dust. The filter can be used for wet
or dry pick-up. A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry
material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the
filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult
to clean. The filter may become saturated when picking
up large quantities of liquid, causing misting to appear
in the exhaust air. At this time, you should dry or change
the filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle the
filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or when

installing it. Check the filter for tears or small holes. Even
a small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do not
use a filter with holes or tears. Replace it immediately.
