Filter

WARNING: Do not operate without
filter cage and float, as they prevent
liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. For dry material
pick-up, do not operate without the filter
in place to reduce the risk of damage to
the motor.
NOTE: This filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for wet or dry pick up. Handle the filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing it. Creases in the filter pleats
may occur from installation but creases
will not affect the performance of the filter.

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.

Cleaning A Wet Filter

After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or faucet. take care
that the water pressure is not too strong
to damage the filter. Allow filter to dry
before use or storage.

MAINTENANCE

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 cord wrap
knobs. 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 cord should
be wrapped around the cord wrap knobs
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.
WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs
and adjustments should be
performed by Independent Service
Centers, always using WORKSHOP
replacement parts.
