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
45. 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.
46. 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.
47. 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.
48. 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.
49. 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.
50. 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.
