CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FILTER REPLACEMENT
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental
starting, unplug power cord before changing or
cleaning the filter. The filter should be cleaned
often to maintain peak vac performance.
WARNING:
Do not remove filter cage and float. The float
prevents water from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. The cage prevents fingers
from touching the moving impeller.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the impeller and motor,
always reinstall the Clean Connect™ filter before
using the vac for dry pickups and wet pickups.
NOTICE:
After cleaning, check the filter for tears or small
holes. Do not use a filter with holes or tears
in it. Even a small hole can cause a lot of
dust to come out of the vac.
Replace it immediately.
NOTICE:
Before installing the filter on the vac, clean the
area of the lid so that the filter will seal against
the lid and stop small particles from bypassing
the filter bag. If the filter is clean and not
damaged, replace it on the filter cage.
If it cannot be reused, place a new filter over
the filter cage.
NOTICE:
Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning should
be done outdoors and not in living quarters.
CLEANING:
To keep the wet/dry vac looking its best, clean
the outside with a cloth dampened with warm
water and mild soap.
To clean the tank:
1. Dump out debris.
2. Wash tank thoroughly with warm water and
mild soap.
3. Wipe with dry cloth.
STORAGE:
Before storing the vac, the dust tank should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should be
wrapped and hung on the unit and the
accessories should be kept in mesh bag so
they can be readily available. The vac should
be stored indoors.
