inlet deflector into deflector guide. Inlet deflector must be in place for any type of cleaning.
WARNING
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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
Shop-Vac
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the installation 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 "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.
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.
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.
FOR FINE DUST POWDERS.
