DRY PICK-UP OPERATION
With the tank cover in an upside
down position,
slide the
cartridge
filter down over the lid cage, pushing
until the filter
seals against cover (Figure
8). Foam sleeve will remain
in
place. Place filter retainer
into the top of the cartridge
filter,
and holding the tank cover with one hand, turn the handle
on the filter retainer
clockwise
to tighten,
locking the filter
into place (Figures
9 & 10). To remove the filter for clean-
ing, again hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer
counterclockwise
to loosen
and remove, then slide the car-
tridge filter off the lid cage (Figures
11 & 12}. To clean the
cartridge
filter, shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from
the inside of the filter) with water. Dry completely
and re-
install (Figures
13 & 14).
Your vac filter is color coded
with a black stripe. When
replacing,
just match the color.

INSTALLING
THE
DISPOSABLE
FILTER
BAG
1. Use for dry pick-up only. Use only when cartridge
filter is
installed
on wet/dry vacuum.
2. With cord disconnected
from receptacle,
pull latches
in
an outward
motion and remove
tank cover.
3. Unscrew
hose locking-nut
and remove hose from inlet.
(Figure

NOTE:
Hose must be removed
before inlet deflector
can
be taken out.
WET
PICK-UP
OPERATION
For best results for wet pick-up
remove cartridge
filter and
utilize the foam sleeve
(already
in place over the lid cage).
For wet pick-up remove inlet deflector
from deflector
guide
sliding in an upward
motion.
NOTE:
Hose must be removed
before inlet deflector
can be taken out. Be sure the opening
of the inlet deflector
is facing
the top of the tank (Figure
16). Misting may occur if inlet deflector
is not inserted prop-
erly. Misting
in exhaust
air may occur
if the foam sleeve
becomes
saturated
during wet pick-up.
If misting occurs,
remove
and dry the saturated
foam sleeve or replace with
another
dry foam sleeve to eliminate
the misting and possi-
ble dripping
of liquid around
the lid. Turn the unit off imme-
diately
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. 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 sleeve under running water, rinsing from the inside.
A water wash is not always
required,
depending
on the
condition
of the sleeve.
