WET PICK UP OPERATION

25. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry use only filters, including
the filter bag, from the vacuum.
26. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter; follow the cleaning and
installation instructions under dry pick up.
27. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam sleeve (not standard with all models). A foam sleeve may be purchased at
your local Shop-Vac
®
sleeve; follow the installation instructions in this section.
28. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around the tank cover may occur if the filter becomes saturated during wet pick up.
If this occurs, remove the filter and allow to dry, or replace with a dry filter.
29. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied. When the tank is
full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer to "automatic suction shut off" in this manual. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid
into the tank. Follow the "emptying liquid waste" section in this manual.
30. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the underside of the tank
cover. Clean and allow the filters to dry completely.
FOAM SLEEVE INSTALLATION
AND CLEANING
31. With tank cover in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over filter cage pulling until foam sleeve completely covers lid
cage. FIGURE 22.
32. To clean the foam sleeve, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet. Remove the tank cover and place the cover in an upside-down
position. Remove foam sleeve by sliding it up and off the filter cage.
33. Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
34. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside of the filter. A water wash is not always required,
depending on the condition of the foam sleeve.
35. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace with a new filter.
