WARNING!
FOR FINE DUST POWDERS
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of
any kind (plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes,
concrete 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.
WET PICK UP
OPERATION
27. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove
ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all
dry use only filters, including the filter bag, from the
vacuum.
28. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small
quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter; follow the
cleaning and installation instructions under dry pick up.
29. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam
sleeve (not standard with all models). A foam sleeve
may be purchased at your local Shop-Vac
on the Shop-Vac website, or by contacting Shop-Vac
®
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the
installation instructions in this section.
30. 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.
31. 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 "automatic suction shut off" in this
manual. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into
the tank. Follow the "emptying liquid waste" section in
this manual.
32. 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.
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.
FOAM SLEEVE INSTALLATION AND CLEANING:
33. With tank cover in an upside
down position, slide foam sleeve
down over lid cage pulling until foam
sleeve completely covers filter cage.

rapid up and down movement.

or two, rinsing from the inside of the filer. A water wash
is not always required, depending on the condition of
the foam sleeve.
