FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

FILTRATION SYSTEM
There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum. The filters are grouped into three filtration categories.
General filtration is used for large debris; such as, wood chips, nails and gravel. Medium filtration is used for
medium debris; such as, dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine filtration is used for fine debris; such as drywall dust,
cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the correct filters installed for your cleaning operation to
protect your vacuum motor.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very fine dust. It will be necessary to empty the tank and clean
the cage filter at more frequent intervals to maintain maximum pick up power.
DRY PICK UP OPERATION
NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a dry use filter installed. Using the vacuum without a
filter will cause damage to the motor.
WARNING
BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.
Follow the instructions for the filter that came with your vacuum. Some filters mentioned do not come
standard with all vacuums. Additional filters are available at your local dealer or the Shop-Vac
CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge filter can be used for dry pick up and small quantities of wet pick up. Installation is the same
for both.
1. If a foam sleeve is installed on the lid cage, remove it by sliding it off the lid cage. NOTE: If the cartridge
filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for dry pick up.
2. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge down over the lid
cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover.
3. Place the filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter. hold the tank cover with one
hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to lock the filter into place.

water by rinsing from the inside of the filter. Dry completely (approximately 24 hours).

damage to your vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or tear.
NOTICE
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.
