INSTALLING CARTRIDGE FILTER
(Not standard with all models)
NOTE: If foam sleeve is in position over lid cage for some models, it does not need to be
removed before installing cartridge. Foam must be positioned on the INSIDE of groove around
lid cage for cartridge to fit properly.
The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry pick up; installation is the same for both. When
picking up large quantities of water we recommend using the foam sleeve (not standard with
all models) in position over the lid cage. Use the cartridge filter in position over the lid cage for
most general dry material pxick up. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the
cartridge filter down over the lid cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover (Figure
107). Place filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter, hold the tank cover with one hand,
turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place (Figures
108 & 109). To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the tank cover and turn the filter
retainer counter-clockwise to loosen and remove, slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage (Fig-
ures 110 & 111). To clean the cartridge filter shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the
inside of the filter) with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and re-install. (Figures
112). NOTE: IF THE FILTER HAS BEEN USED FOR WET PICK UP, IT MUST BE CLEANED AND
DRIED BEFORE USING FOR DRY PICK UP.

WARNING FOR FINE DUST & POWDERS
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of any kind (ex. plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes, con-
crete 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. These
"large bag" filters connect to the air inlet fitting on the inside of the vacuum tank.

WET PICK UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of con-
version when going from dry to wet pick up. Remove all dry use filters from the vacuum. Wet
pick up requires the foam sleeve (not standard with all models) or cartridge filter (not stan-
dard with all models) to be in position over the lid cage. For proper installation instructions
for wet pick up using the cartridge filter or foam sleeve, refer to Installing the Cartridge Filter.
Do not use the reusable dry filter for wet pick up. Remove inlet deflector from the deflector
guide sliding in an upward motion. NOTE: Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can
be taken out. Reinstall being sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank
misting may occur if inlet deflector is not inserted properly. Misting in exhaust air may occur if
the filter becomes saturated during wet pick up If misting occurs, remove filter and allow to dry
or, replace with another dry filter to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of liquid around
the lid. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and
ready to be emptied. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interior of the
tank should be periodically cleaned.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover. Place
tank cover in an upside down position. Remove foam sleeve by sliding it up and off the lid
cage.
2. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water
wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the foam sleeve.
4. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The
foam sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
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.
OPERATION
This equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the
like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an explosion.
Do not pick up flammable, combustible, or hot materials. Do not use
around explosive liquids or vapors, as electrical devices produce arcs
or sparks which can cause a fire or explosion - do not use at filling
stations or anywhere gasoline is stored or dispensed.
WARNING
IF ANY OF THE MOTOR HOUSING PARTS
SHOULD BECOME DETACHED OR BROKEN, EXPOSING THE MOTOR
OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, OPERATION SHOULD
BE DISCONTINUED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
OR FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE VACUUM. REPAIRS SHOULD BE
MADE BEFORE REUSING THE VACUUM.
