WARNING FOR FINE DUST & POWDERS
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of any kind (ex. plaster, drywall dust, cold ashes, concrete
dust, etc.)...a high efficiency drywall filter bag must be used. When vacuuming normal house-
hold 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 conversion when going from dry to wet pick up. Remove all dry
use filters from the vacuum. A clean cartridge filter may be used for vacuum-
ing small amounts of liquids. For best results when vacuuming large quanti-
ties 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 at www.
shopvac.com, contacting our customer service department, or purchasing
at your local Shop-Vac distributor. 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 (Figure 30), 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.
NOTE: For E87S model filter retainer must be removed first.
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: For E87S model filter retainer
must be installed.
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.
BLOWER FEATURE
This vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use your unit as a
blower unscrew blower port cover located on the backside of the motor
housing (Figure 31). The blower port cover is equipped with a retaining
strap to prevent loss of the port cover while blower is in use. Clear hose
of any obstructions before attaching to blower port. Insert hose end with
locking-nut into blower port on rear of unit and tighten. Do not over-tighten.
Caution should be used when using as a blower due to the powerful force
of air when using certain attachments.

the intake of the motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the motor will develop a higher than
normal pitch noise and the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn unit off immediately.
Failure to turn unit off after float rises and shuts off suction will result in extensive damage to the
motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from the tank as outlined in the previous paragraph.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS
OCCURS, TURN UNIT OFF AND PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE
OPERATION.
