WET PICK-UP OPERATION
1. Vacuum can be used for wet pick-up. Remove all
dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry use
filters, including the filter bag, from the vacuum.
2. A clean cartridge filter may be used to pick up small
quantities of liquid. To use the cartridge filter, follow
the instructions under dry pick-up.
3. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid, use a foam
sleeve. If a foam sleeve (S-23267) did not come
standard with unit, one may be purchased at Uline
by calling Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510. To
use the foam sleeve, follow the instructions in this
section.
4. 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.
5. 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 the automatic suction
shut off section for more information. Raise the hose
to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the
instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.
6. 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.
7. 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
1. With the tank cover in an
upside down position, slide
the foam sleeve down over
the lid cage, pulling until
foam sleeve completely
covers the lid cage.
(See Figure 17).
2. To clean the foam sleeve, slide it up and off the lid
cage. Shake excess debris off the foam sleeve with
a rapid up-and-down movement.

3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a couple
minutes, rinsing from the inside of the filter. A water
wash is not always required, depending on the
condition of the filter.
4. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace
with a new filter.
NOTE: Wet pick-up accessories should be
washed periodically with soap and water,
especially after picking up wet, sticky liquids.
DRY PICK-UP OPERATION
See Shop-Vac® vacuum filter guide on page 5 to
determine which type of dry filtration is best for your
needs. Better quality filtration is required for finer dry
materials. Collection filter bags are recommended for
very fine materials such as drywall dust.
NOTE: When using vacuum to pick up very fine
dust, such as sawdust or drywall dust, it will be
necessary to empty tank and clean filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain maximum
pick-up power or upgrade to collection filter
bags.
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN
The efficiency of these vacuum cleaners is largely
dependent on the filter. A clogged filter can cause
overheating and possibly damage the vacuum cleaner.
Clean or replace filters regularly. Do not use the
vacuum or filters for collecting hazardous or other health
endangering materials.
NOTE: Never machine wash or dry filters.
CARTRIDGE FILTER MAINTENANCE
This filter is made of high-quality paper designed to stop
small particles of dust. The filter can be used for wet
or dry pick-up. A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry
material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when the
filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult
to clean. The filter may become saturated when picking
up large quantities of liquid, causing misting to appear
in the exhaust air. At this time, you should dry or change
the filter to eliminate this occurrence. Please handle the
filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or when
installing it. Check the filter for tears or small holes. Even
a small hole can cause dust to be exhausted. Do not
use a filter with holes or tears. Replace it immediately.
