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
(figures 52, 53). Center the reusable dry filter on lid cage
(figure 54), slide mounting ring down over filter until ring is
positioned against the ribs of the lid cage (figure 55). 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 56). 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.
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE fILTER
(Not standard with all models)
NOTE: If foam sleeve is in position over lid cage, it must be removed before installing cartridge
filter.
The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry pick up;
installation is the same for both. When picking up large
quantities of liquid please refer to the Wet Pick up Operation
section in this manual. use the cartridge filter in posi-
tion over the lid cage for most general dry material pick
up. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide
the cartridge filter down over the lid cage, pushing until
the filter seals against the cover (figure 57). Place filter
retainer into the top of the cartridge filter, hold the tank
cover with one hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer
clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place (figures
58 & 59). To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the
tank cover and turn the filter retainer counter-clockwise to
loosen and remove, slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage
(figures 60 & 61). To clean the cartridge filter shake or
brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter)
with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and
reinstall (figures 62 & 63). NOTE: If the filter has been used
for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using
for dry pick up.
INSTALLING THE DISPOSABLE fILTER BAG
(Not standard with all models)
1. use for dry pick up only. use in conjunction with cartridge filter
for picking up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust.
2. With cord disconnected from receptacle, pull latches in an
outward motion and remove tank cover.
3. Grasp cardboard collar firmly and slide rubber guard onto inlet
fitting as far as possible (figure 64).
4. When secured in place, expand bag and position around the inside of the tank (figure 65).
WARNING fOR fINE DUST & POWDERS
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of any kind (ex. plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes, con-
crete dust, etc.), a high efficiency drywall filter bag must be used. When vacuuming normal
household dust and debris, standard household disposable filter bags may be used. These
"large bag" filters connect to the air inlet fitting on the inside of the vacuum tank.

Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conver-
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
53
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.

your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use your unit as a blower,
clear hose of any obstruction. Insert machine hose end into blower port on
62
rear of unit (figure 70). Twist slightly to tighten the connection. Caution
should be used when using as a blower due to the powerful force of air when
using certain attachments.

EMPTyING LIqUID WASTES fROM THE TANk
65
Not all units are equipped with tank drains. Follow the instructions, which
apply to your specific unit.
Without Tank Drain
Liquid waste may be emptied 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 tank is empty, return the cover to its original position. To continue use,
plug the cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on.
With Tank Drain
Liquid waste may be emptied by removing the tank drain cap. To empty, turn unit off and
remove plug from wall receptacle. Remove the drain cap and deposit the liquid waste contents
in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the drain cap to its original position. To con-
tinue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-Off
The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off that operates when picking up
liquids. 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
develop 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
