25. To clean cartridge filter
shake or brush off excess dirt.
FIGURE 20.
26. Or rinse (from the inside of
the filter) with water.
FIGURE 21. Dry completely
(approximately 24 hours).
27. Check the filter for tears or small holes. If none are
found, reinstall the filter. To prevent damage to your
vacuum, do not use a filter with a hole or a tear.
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN. EFFICIENCY OF THE VACUUM
IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE FILTER. A CLOGGED
FILTER CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY
DAMAGE THE CLEANER. CHECK THE FILTER
PERIODICALLY AND REPLACE AS REQUIRED.
INSTALLING THE DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG:
28. Use the disposable filter bag in conjunction with the
cartridge filter for easy disposal of the debris. The bag
is not required for normal dry pick up. When picking up
fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag (not
standard with all models) must be used.
NOTE: Use for dry pick up only.
29. With cord disconnected from the receptacle, pull
latches in an outward motion and remove the tank
cover.

31. Remove the inlet defector from
the deflector guide. NOTE: Hose
must be removed before the inlet
deflector can be taken out.
FIGURE 23.
32. Position the inlet deflector with
the opening facing the left or the
right side of the filter bag. Slide
the filter bag collar over the inlet
deflector, matching the notches of
the bag collar to the tabs on the inlet
deflector. Bag will only fit properly
one way. FIGURE 24.
33. Slide the inlet deflector with the
filter bag attached into the deflector
guide. FIGURE 25.
34. Reinsert hose into inlet and
tighten the locking-nut.
FIGURE 26.
35. When secured in place, expand the filter bag and
position around the inside of the tank. Replace tank
cover.
NOTE: When removing filter bag from tank, remove the
inlet deflector from the filter bag collar. Reinstall inlet
deflector into deflector guide. Inlet deflector must be in
place for any type of cleaning.
FOR FINE DUST POWDERS
When vacuuming fine dust, or powders of
any kind (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.

36. 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.
37. 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.
38. 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®distributor,
on the Shop-Vac®website, or by contacting Shop-Vac®
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the
installation instructions in this section.
39. 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 another dry filter.
40. 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.
41. 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.
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.
FOAM SLEEVE INSTALLATION AND CLEANING:
42. With tank cover in an upside
down position, slide foam sleeve
down over lid cage pulling until foam
sleeve completely covers lid cage.
