MAINTENANCE (continued)
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.
Cord Maintenance
When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover
and snap the connector on the plug to a
wrap of the cord. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer to reduce the risk of
accident.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The power cord
should be wrapped around the unit and
the hose should be stored as described
in this manual. Accessories should be
kept in the same area as the Vac so they
can be readily available. The Vac should
be stored indoors.
Casters
If your casters are noisy, you may put a
drop of oil on the roller shaft to make
them quieter.
WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other
servicing or repairs and
adjustments should be performed
by Independent Service Centers,
always using WORKSHOP
replacement parts.
