keeps the tank clean. When picking up fine dust or powders a high efficiency bag must be used. The high
efficiency bags are for dry use only and do not come standard with this model.
The tear resistant wet / dry collection bag can also be used in conjunction with the foam sleeve when
picking up liquids or using the pump feature. The bag traps medium to large debris that may be contained
in the liquid, while allowing the liquid to flow through the bag and deposit into the vacuum's tank. The bag is
not required for wet pick up, but it is recommended when the liquid contains debris that could damage the
vacuum's motor. NOTE: If the bag is used for wet pick up, it must be removed from the tank and hung up to
dry.
To install the bag:
1. With cord disconnected from the receptacle, pull latches in an outward motion and remove the tank
cover.
2. Unscrew hose locking-nut and remove hose from inlet.
3. Remove the inlet deflector from the deflector guide. NOTE: Hose must be removed before the inlet
deflector can be taken out.
4. Position the inlet deflector with the opening facing the left or the right side of the filter bag.
filter bag collar over the inlet deflector, matching the notches of the bag collar to the tabs on the inlet
deflector. Bag will only fit properly one way.
5. Slide the inlet deflector with the filter bag attached into the deflector guide.
6. Reinsert hose into inlet and tighten the locking-nut.
7. When secured in place, expand the filter bag and position around the inside of the tank. Replace tank
cover.
NOTE: When removing filter bag from tank, remove the inlet deflector from the filter bag collar. Reinstall
inlet deflector into deflector guide. Inlet deflector must be in place for any type of cleaning.
To remove the bag:
1. If the bag was used for wet pick up, move the vacuum outside or to a floor that won't get damaged if the
liquid drips onto it.
2. Make sure the cord is disconnected from the receptacle, the tank cover is removed and the hose is
disconnected from the tank inlet.
3. Grasp the plastic collar firmly and pull the rubber guard off of the inlet fitting. Before removing the bag
from the tank, insert the plastic tab connected to the collar into the bag opening.
4. If the bag was used for dry pick up, simply grasp the plastic handle and remove from the tank.
5. If the bag was used for wet pick up, grasp the plastic handle and slowly lift up on the bag. Allow the
liquid to drain from the bag into the tank. If the bag is not full, hang it up and allow it to dry completely.
Once dry, check the bag for tears or holes. If none are found the bag can be reinstalled.
NOTE: Additional collection bags are available at your local dealer or the Shop-Vac
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 filters, including the filter bag, from the vacuum. NOTE: To use the pump feature, refer to the pump
set up and operation section.
2. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter; follow
the instructions under dry pick up.
3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam sleeve. If a foam sleeve did not come standard with
your unit, one may be purchased at your local dealer, the Shop-Vac
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the 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 the automatic suction shut
off section for more information. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the
instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.
