43. 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 household 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.

44. 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 vacuuming small amounts of liquids. For best results when vacuuming large quantities
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

29
be taken out. Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank (figure 29), misting may occur if inlet deflector
is not inserted properly.
46. 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.
47. The foam sleeve (not standard with all models) should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
a. 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.
b. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
c. 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.
d. 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: 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.
