WET PICK-UP OPERATION

42. 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. Remove all dry use filters from the vac-
uum. 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
43. Remove inlet deflector from the deflector guide sliding in an upward motion. NOTE: Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can be taken out.
27
Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank (Figure 27), misting may occur if inlet deflector is not inserted properly.
44. 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 elimi-
nate 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.
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.
