35. 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.
36. 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.
37. For vacuuming large quantities of liquid use a foam
sleeve. To use the foam sleeve; follow the installation
instructions in this section.
38. 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.

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. Refer to the Emptying
Liquid Waste section in this manual.
