MAINTENANCE
Filter Cleaning
Your Filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak
Vacuum performance.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. Some removal of dry debris can be accomplished
without removing the Filter from the Vacuum. Slap
your hand on top of the Powerhead Assembly while
the Vacuum is turned OFF.
2. 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.
3. After Filter removal from Vacuum, remove the dry
debris by gently tapping Filter against the inside wall
of your Drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of dry Filter with fine dust
(no debris), run water through it as described under
"Cleaning A Wet Filter".
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After Filter is removed, run water through the Filter from a
hose or spigot. Take care that water pressure from the hose is
not strong enough to damage Filter.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the Filter for tears or
small holes. Tears and holes in the Filter can cause debris and
dust to be blown from the Vacuum. Do not use a Filter with
holes or tears. Replace immediately.
Allow the Filter to dry before reinstalling and storing the
Vacuum or picking up dry debris.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vacuum 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
pickup) the Drum should be disinfected.

To disinfect the Drum:
1. Pour 1 Gallon (4 L) of water and 1 Teaspoon (5 mL)
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.
Storage (Fig. L)
Before storing your Vacuum, the Drum should be
emptied and cleaned. The Power Cord should be wrapped
around the Carry Handle and the Hose should be stored as
described in this manual. Accessories should be kept in the
same area as the Vacuum so they can be readily available.
The Vacuum should be stored indoors.
