DRY PICK-UP OPERATION
WARNING
– ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM
THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.
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 4). NOTE: Bottom of foam
sleeve must be positioned on the OUTSIDE of groove around lid cage for the reusable dry filter to fit
properly (Figure 5, 5a). Center the reusable dry filter on lid cage (Figure 6), slide mounting ring down
over filter until ring is positioned against the ribs of the lid cage (Figure 7). 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 8). 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. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE INSTALLING REUSABLE FILTER BE SURE THAT FOAM SLEEVE IS OUTSIDE OF
GROOVE AND AROUND LID CAGE. (Figure 5, 5a)
NOTE: ENSURE THAT THE MOUNTING RING IS COMPLETELY SECURE AND IN POSITION BY PRESSING
DOWN FIRMLY AROUND THE RING IN SEVERAL PLACES. BE SURE THE REUSABLE DRY DISC FILTER
COMPLETELY COVERS THE FOAM SLEEVE. CHECK TO ENSURE THAT ALL EDGES OF THE REUSABLE
DRY FILTER ARE SECURE UNDER THE MOUNTING RING.
CAUTION
Efficiency of the vacuum is largely dependent on the filters. Dirty filters will reduce the air flow
and efficiency of the filtration system. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY

WET PICK UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conversion
when going from dry to wet pick-up. Wet pick-up requires the foam sleeve (not standard on all
models) to be in position over the lid cage. Do not use the reusable dry filter for wet pick-up.
Misting in exhaust air may occur if the foam sleeve becomes saturated during wet pick-up. If mist-
ing occurs, remove and dry the saturated foam sleeve or replace with another dry foam sleeve 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 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 to be reinstalled on the lid cage.

NOTE: Wet pick-up accessories should be washed periodically, especially after picking up wet,
sticky kitchen accidents. This can be accomplished with a warm solution of soap and water.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE
®
Your Shop Vac Wet/Dry may be emptied of liquid waste by removing the tank cover. To empty,
stop the motor and remove the plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the tank cover and
deposit the liquid waste contents in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the cover
to its original position. To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and start the
motor.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off that operates when picking up liq-
uids. As the level of the liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises until it seats itself against
a seal at the intake of the motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the motor will devel-
op a higher than normal pitch noise and the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn
unit off immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises and shuts off suction will result in
extensive damage to the motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from the tank as out-
lined in the previous paragraph.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, TURN
UNIT OFF AND PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS
NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
Before storing your vacuum cleaner the tank should be emptied
and cleaned. The power cord can be wrapped around the cord
wraps provided on the tank cover on rear of unit (Figure 9). The
cleaner should be stored indoors.
