DRY PICK UP OPERATION
INSTALLING FOAM SLEEVE AND REUSABLE DRY FILTER
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
(Not standard with all models)
1. The foam sleeve and reusable dry filter may be used to pick up dust and dry material; you must install both to insure proper filtration. If the
vacuum has been used to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned and dried before installing for dry pick up. (See Wet Pick Up
Operation on how to clean foam sleeve).
2. With tank cover in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over lid cage pulling until foam sleeve completely covers lid cage
(Figure
10).
Foam sleeve must be positioned on the OUTSIDE of groove around lid cage for the reusable dry filter to fit properly
(Figure 11, 12).
3. Center the reusable dry filter on bottom of lid cage
(Figure 13),
slide mounting ring over filter until ring is positioned against the top of the lid
cage
(Figure 14).
NOTE:
ENSURE THAT THE MOUNTING RING IS COMPLETELY SECURE AND IN POSITION BY PRESSING DOWN FIRMLY AROUND THE RING IN
SEVERAL PLACES. BE SURE THE REUSABLE DRY DISC FILTER COMPLETELY COVERS THE FOAM SLEEVE. CHECK TO ENSURE THAT ALL EDGES
OF THE REUSABLE DRY FILTER ARE SECURE UNDER THE MOUNTING RING.
4. Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the tank bottom. If it is not, remove inlet deflector from the deflector guide sliding in an
upward motion.
NOTE:
Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can be taken out. Reinstall being sure the opening of the inlet deflector
is facing the tank bottom
(Figure 15).
5. To clean the reusable dry filter
a. Remove mounting ring and filter from lid cage
(Figure 16).
b. Shake off excess dirt and dust or (depending on the condition of the filter) rinse with water. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY.
c. To clean foam sleeve refer to Wet Pick Up Operation in this manual.

INSIDE of groove around lid cage for the cartridge filter to fit properly.
Dry Pick Up:
NOTE:
If the filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using for dry pick up.
1. The cartridge filter can be used for most general dry pick up.
2. Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the tank bottom. If it is not, remove inlet deflector from the deflector guide sliding in an
upward motion.
NOTE:
Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can be taken out. Reinstall being sure the opening of the inlet deflector is
facing the tank bottom
(Figure 17).
3. With tank cover in an upside down position, slide cartridge filter over lid cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover
(Figure 18).
4. Place filter retainer into top of the cartridge filter, hold the tank cover with one hand while turning the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to
tighten and lock into place
(Figure 19 & 20).
Wet Pick Up:
1. The cartridge filter can be used for wet pick up. However, when picking up large quantities of water containing debris we recommend using
the foam sleeve
(not standard with all models)
. (See the Wet Pick Up Operation section for foam sleeve installation).
2. Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank. If it is not, remove inlet deflector from the deflector guide sliding in an
upward motion.
NOTE:
Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can be taken out. Reinstall being sure the opening of the inlet deflector is
facing the top of the tank
(Figure 21).
3. Installation for wet pick up is the same as for dry pick up. Follow steps 3 and 4 under Dry Pick Up (Installing the Cartridge Filter).
Cleaning:
1. Remove filter by holding the tank cover while turning the filter retainer counter-clockwise to loosen and remove. Slide filter off the lid cage
(Figures 22 & 23).
