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.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or their
service agent or by similarly qualified
personnel 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 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 and Wheels
Should your cart squeak or become hard
to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle. If your casters are
noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the
roller shaft to make them quieter.
Frame and Handles
Your metal handle is painted to prevent
rust, however, liquids and corrosive
debris should be wiped off with a soft
cloth should they come in contact with
the handle.
