WET PICK UP
OPERATION
51. 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
distributor.

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.

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.
55. 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.

a clean towel, and allow to dry. The foam sleeve is now
ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
