When using the reusable dry filter to pick up dust and dry
material, you must install foam sleeve and reusable dry
filter to ensure proper filtration. If the vacuum has been
used to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned
and dried before installing for dry pick up. With tank cover
in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over
lid cage pulling until foam sleeve completely covers lid
cage (figure 12, 13). Center the reusable dry filter on lid
cage (figure 14), slide mounting ring down over filter until
ring is positioned against the ribs of the lid cage (figure
15). The reusable dry filter should always be in position
over the foam sleeve for dry pick up. To remove the filter for cleaning, remove
mounting ring and filter from lid cage (figure 16). To clean the reusable
dry filter, shake off excess dirt and dust or (depending on the condition of
the filter) rinse with water. Allow the filter to dry completely and re-install.

Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conver-
11
sion 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
13
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.
