5. If the bag was used for wet pick up, grasp the plastic handle and slowly lift up on the bag. Allow the
liquid to drain from the bag into the tank. If the bag is not full, hang it up and allow it to dry completely.

WARNING
WET PICK UP OPERATION
1. Your vacuum can be used for wet pick up. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. Remove all dry
use filters 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 did not come standard with
your unit, one may be purchased at your local dealer, the Shop-Vac
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the instructions in this section.
4. The tear resistant wet/dry collection bag can be used during wet pick up. Refer to the instructions in the
filter installation and maintenance section for details.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
2. To clean the foam sleeve, side it up and off the lid cage. Shake excess debris off of
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.
WARNING 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.
Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use your unit as a blower insert hose
end into the top exhaust port.
NOTE: Clear hose of any obstructions before attaching to blower port. Twist the hose end
slightly to tighten the connection. Caution should be used when using as a blower due
to the powerful force of air when using certain attachments.
