Blower Feature; Empty Liquid Waste From The Tank - Shop-Vac 92 Series User Manual

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONT'D.)
3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam sleeve. If a foam sleeve did not come standard with
your unit, one may be purchased at your local dealer, the Shop-Vac
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the instructions in this section.
4. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around the tank cover may occur if the filter becomes
saturated during wet pick up. If this occurs, remove the filter and allow to dry, or replace with another dry
filter.
5. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be
emptied. When the tank is full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer to the automatic suction shut
off section for more information. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the
instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.
6. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the
underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the filters to dry completely.
7. 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.
FOAM SLEEVE
1. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the foam sleeve down over the
lid cage, pulling until foam sleeve completely covers the lid cage.
2. To clean the foam sleeve, side it up and off the lid cage. Shake excess debris off of the
foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a couple minutes, rinsing from the inside of
the filter. A water wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the filter.
4. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace with a new filter.
Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use the blower feature, clear the hose of any debris or
obstructions.
For vacuums with a blower port cover (not standard on all models), unscrew blower
port cover located on the back of tank cover. The blower port cover is equipped with
a retaining strap to prevent loss of the cover. NOTE: For maximum performance when
vacuuming, remove the blower port cover.
Insert machine hose end into blower port located on the back of the tank cover.
Twist the hose end 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.
