Dry Pick-up
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
The cartridge filter (M) can be used for wet or dry pick-up.
Installation is the same for both.
□
With the power head in an upside down position, slide the
cartridge filter (M) down over the lid cage and push the
filter seals against the power head.
□
Place the filter retainer (Q) into the top of the cartridge
filter (M), hold the power head with one hand, and turn the
handle on the filter retainer (Q) clockwise to tighten, locking
the filter into place.
□
To remove the filter (M) for cleaning, hold the power
head and turn the filter retainer (Q) counter-clockwise to
loosen and remove the filter (M) off the filter cage.
□
To clean the cartridge filter, shake or brush off excess
dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter) with water. Then
dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and re-install.
NOTE : If the filter has been used for wet pick-up, it must be
cleaned and dried before using for dry pick-up.
When picking up large quantities of water, we recommend
using the foam sleeve in position over the lid cage.

Wet Pick-up
□
Remove the cartridge filter (M) and replace it with the foam
filter (N) when you do wet pick-ups.
□
This wet/dry vacuum is equipped with a float mechanism
which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow when the
liquid in the tank reaches a predetermined level. When this
happens, turn off the vacuum, unplug the power cord, and
empty the dust tank. You will know that the float has shut
the airflow off because the suction ceases and the motor
noise becomes higher in pitch due to increased motor
speed. The liquid capacity may vary with the rate of pickup.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the vacuum,
do not run the motor with the float in raised position. Wet pick
up accessories should be washed periodically.
