Dry Pickup
See the Shop-Vac
which type of dry filtration is best for your needs. Better quality filtration is required for finer dry
materials. Collection filter bags are recommended for very fine materials such as dry wall dust.
Note: When using the vacuum to pick-up very fine dust such as sawdust or dry wall dust, it
will be necessary to empty the tank and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain
maximum pick-up power or upgrade to collection filter bags.
Wet Pickup
See the Shop-Vac
which type of wet filtration is best for your needs. Remove the dry filters plus all dirt and
debris found in the tank assembly. Do not use dry filters for wet pick-up. A clean cartridge
filter may be used for vacuuming small amounts of liquids. 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, contacting our customer service department, or purchasing
at your local Shop-Vac distributor. When picking up several tanks full of liquid, the filter will
become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust air. At this time, you should dry the
filter or change to a dry filter to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of liquid around
the lid. After completing a wet pick-up job, raise the hose to drain into tank before shutting off
the vac. The interior of the tank should be periodically rinsed clean.
Note: Wet pick-up accessories should be washed periodically with soap and water, especially
after picking up wet, sticky liquids.
