Cleaning A Wet Filter
Remove Filter from Vac, 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. Be sure to
dry the filter before storing or picking up
dry debris.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a
filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small
hole may allow a lot of dust to come out of
the exhaust port of your Vac. Replace it
immediately.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e.; waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
MAINTENANCE (continued)
Cord Maintenance
When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer to reduce
the risk of accident.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be wrapped around the unit and the hose
should be stored as described in this
manual. Accessories should be kept in
the same area as the Vac so they can be
readily available. The Vac should be
stored indoors.
Casters
If your casters are noisy, you may put a
drop of oil on the roller shaft to make
them quieter.
WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs
and adjustments should be
performed by Authorized Service
Centers, always using WORKSHOP
replacement parts.
