Filter Cleaning

Your Filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak Vac
performance.

Cleaning A Dry Filter

1. Some removal of dry debris can be accomplished
without removing the Filter from the Vac. Slap your
hand on top of the Powerhead Assembly while the
Vac is turned off.
2. For best cleaning results due to accumulated dust,
clean the Filter in an open area. Cleaning SHOULD be
done outdoors and not in the living quarters.
3. After Filter removal from Vac, remove the dry debris
by gently tapping Filter against the inside wall of your
Dust Drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of dry Filter with fine dust
(no debris), run water through it as described under

"Cleaning A Wet Filter".

Cleaning A Wet Filter
After Filter is removed, run water through the Filter from a
hose or spigot. Take care that water pressure from the hose is
not strong enough to damage Filter.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the Filter for tears or
small holes. Tears and holes in the Filter can cause debris and
dust to be blown from the Vac. Do not use a Filter with holes
or tears. Replace immediately.
Allow the Filter to dry before reinstalling and storing the Vac
or picking up dry debris.
WARNING:
!
In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated
Wet/Dry Vac requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac must be identical to the parts they replace. Your double-insulated
Wet/Dry Vac is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATED" and the symbol
be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of injury, unplug power cord before servicing the Wet/Dry Vac.
