CARE AND MAINTENANCE

FILTER REPLACEMENT
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power
cord before changing or cleaning filter.
Your filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak vac
performance.
IMPORTANT
To avoid damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the Clean Connect filter before using the vac for dry pickups
TM
and wet pickups.
IMPORTANT
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 your vac. Replace it immediately.
NOTE
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.
NOTE
Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning should be done outdoors
and not in living quarters.
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.
CLEANING
To keep your 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.

STORAGE
Before storing your 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.
