Wet Pick-Up:
WARNING
– THE CARTRIDGE FILTER IS NOT COMPATIBLE
WHEN UTILIZING THE PUMP PICk-UP ASSEMBLY.
1. The cartridge filter can be used for wet pick-up. However, when picking up large quantities
of water containing debris we recommend using the foam sleeve (not standard with all
models). (See the Wet Pick-Up Operation section for foam sleeve installation).
2. Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank. If it is not, 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 23).
3. Installation for wet pick-up is the same as for dry pick-up. Follow steps 3 and 4 under
Installing the Cartridge Filter.
Cleaning:
1. Remove filter by holding the tank cover while turning the filter retainer counter-clockwise to
loosen and remove. Slide filter off the lid cage (Figures 24 & 25).
2. Clean cartridge filter by shaking or brushing off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the
filter) with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and re-install (Figures 26 & 27).

INSTALLING THE DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
(Not standard with all models)
1. Use for dry pick-up only. Use in conjunction with cartridge filter for picking up soot, cement,
plaster or drywall dust.
2. With cord disconnected from receptacle, pull latches in an outward motion and remove tank
cover.
3. Unscrew hose locking-nut and remove hose from inlet (Figure 28).
4. Remove inlet deflector from deflector guide (Figure 29). NOTE: Hose must be removed
before inlet deflector can be taken out.
5. With the opening of the inlet deflector facing the bottom of the filter bag, slide collection bag
collar over deflector matching notches of bag collar to tabs on inlet deflector, bag will only
fit properly one way (Figure 30).
6. Slide deflector with collection bag attached into deflector guide (Figure 31).
7. Reinsert hose into inlet and tighten locking-nut (Figure 32).
8. When secured in place, expand bag and position around the inside of tank.
9. Replace tank cover.

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 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.

WET PICk-UP OPERATION

1. To use the pump operation feature refer to Pump Operation.
2. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in tank.
3. Remove all dry use filters from vacuum.
4. A clean cartridge filter may be used for vacuuming small amounts of
liquids. For proper installation instructions when using the cartridge
filter, refer to Wet Pick-Up under the Installing the Cartridge Filter section.
5. For best results when vacuuming large quantities of liquids containing debris, it is
recommended using the foam sleeve. With tank cover in an upside down position, slide
foam sleeve down over lid cage pulling until foam sleeve completely covers lid cage (Figure
33). Foam sleeve must be positioned on the INSIDE of groove around the lid cage.
6. 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 34). Misting may occur if inlet
deflector is not inserted properly.
7. Misting in exhaust air or dripping of liquid around the lid may occur if the filter becomes
saturated. Remove filter and allow to dry or, replace with another dry filter.

8. Turn unit off immediately upon completing job or when tank is full and
ready to be emptied (refer to Emptying Liquid Wastes). Raise the hose
to drain any excess liquid into the tank.
9. The interior of the tank and filters should be periodically cleaned. (To
clean the cartridge filter, refer to Cleaning under Installing the Cartridge
Filter).
Cleaning the Foam Sleeve:
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.
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.
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.

WARNING
WHEN UTILIZING THE PUMP PICk-UP ASSEMBLY.
NOTE: Not for use as a sump pump. Do not leave unit unattended while in use.
Set-up:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover.
2. Remove tank cover and any filters other then foam sleeve.
3. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in tank.
4. If not already done, install foam sleeve and position inlet deflector facing top of tank following
the instructions and illustrations under Wet Pick-Up Operation.
5. Insert tube into pick-up cage and push until tube comes to a stop (Figure 35).
6. Take pick up assembly from step 5 and insert tube into hole in bottom of lid cage and push
until assembly comes to a stop (Figure 36). NOTE: Do not attempt to pump without pick-up
cage in place or screen on pickup-cage. Failure to do this could result in damage to pump.
7. Replace tank cover and secure latches.
8. Remove outlet-fitting cover and connect a standard garden hose (not included) to outlet
fitting (Figure 37). Place other end of garden hose at a suitable drain.
9. Attach the 2-1/2" hose to tank inlet.
10. Place wet pick-up elbow on the hose end and attach desired accessory to elbow (Figure 38).
Elbow must be in place during pump operation to prevent overfilling of unit. Do not attempt
pump operation without elbow in place. Do not cover bleed hole in elbow. Failure to follow
these precautions will result in overfilling of unit and misting through exhaust port.

Operation:
1. Plug vacuum in and push the ON switch button. NOTE: Switch will automatically return to a
neutral position.
2. Start vacuuming up the liquid. The unit will automatically begin pumping when at least 4"
(10 cm) of liquid is in the bottom of the tank.
3. The unit will automatically shut off when full.
4. To empty a full tank, remove vacuum hose from the liquid. Do not lift hose to empty liquid into
tank. This will cause the unit to overfill and misting through the exhaust port will occur.
5. The ON/OFF switch must be manually held in the ON position for approximately 10-15
seconds to allow the water level to be reduced sufficiently and then pumping will continue
automatically. Once the vacuum is pumping manually release the switch and allow it to oper-
ate on its own. ATTENTION: HOLD SWITCH IN ON POSITION ONLY UNTIL WATER STARTS
TO FLOW. RELEASE SWITCH WHEN PUMPING BEGINS.
6. The unit will continue to discharge liquid until there is about 4" (10 cm) left in the tank. NOTE:
IF THE UNIT SHUTS OFF BEFORE LIQUID IS PUMPED OUT REPEAT STEPS 5 AND 6.
7. When the level of liquid lowers and the unit stops pumping continue vacuuming up the
liquid.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 when vacuum is full and shuts off.
9. After the job has been completed, allow liquid to be pumped until unit has stopped and there
is 4" (10 cm) of liquid remaining in tank.
10. Make sure unit is in the off position.
11. Disconnect plug from the wall receptacle and remove tank cover.
12. Remove and clean pump pick-up assembly
13. Empty remaining liquid from tank (refer to Emptying Liquid Wastes).
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
39). 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.
