Maintenance

Filter Bag

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing
or cleaning Filter.
Your filter bag should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
NOTE: The Filter Bag is made of high
quality material designed to stop larger,
general dirt and debris. Handle the Filter
Bag carefully when removing to clean or
installing a new Filter Bag. Do not tear
the Filter Bag during removal or
installation if your intent is to reuse the
Filter Bag.

Cartridge Filter

NOTE: The Pleated Paper Cartridge
Filter is made of high quality material
designed to stop dust and smaller
particles. Handle the Cartridge Filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing a new filter. Do not tear the
Cartridge Filter during removal or
installation if your intent is to reuse the
filter.
Cleaning A Dry Cartridge Filter
NOTE: For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the Filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
1. Light cleaning of some dry debris from
the Filter can be accomplished without
removing the Filter from the Vac.
Simply slap your hand on top of the
handle while the Vac is turned off.
2. Remove Filter from Vac. Gently tap
the Filter against the inside wall of
your dust drum and the debris will
loosen and fall.
3. For thorough cleaning of a dry Filter
with fine dust (no debris) you may run
water through it as described under
"Cleaning A Wet Cartridge Filter"
Section.
Cleaning A Wet Cartridge Filter
After Filter is removed, run water through
the Filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage Filter. Allow
Filter to dry out before storing.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e.; waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.

Cord Maintenance and Storage

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover
and snap the connector on the plug to a
wrap of the cord. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer to reduce the risk of
accident.
