GENERAL SET UP
FIGURE 11
NOTE: If foam sleeve (not standard with all models)
is installed on lid cage, remove before installing the
cartridge filter.
18. The cartridge filter can be used for dry pick up and
small quantities of wet pick up. Installation is the same
for both. When picking up large quantities of water we
recommend using a foam sleeve (not standard with
all models) instead of the cartridge filter. When picking
up fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag (not
standard with all models) must be used with the
cartridge filter.
NOTE: If cartridge filter has been used for wet pick
up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for dry
pick up.
19. With the tank cover in an
upside down position, slide
the cartridge filter down over
the lid cage, pushing until the
filter seals against the cover.

place. FIGURE 14.

cleaning, again hold the
tank cover and turn the filter
retainer counter-clockwise to
loosen and remove.

12. Before replacing tank cover, refer to Dry Pick
Up or Wet Pick Up Operation in user manual
to ensure you have the proper filters installed for your
cleaning operation.
13. Replace tank cover, and apply pressure with thumb
to each latch until it snaps tightly into place. Make
certain all lid latches are clamped securely.
NOTE: Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a
dry use filter installed on the lid cage. Using the vacuum
without a filter will cause dust to discharge from blower
port and cause damage to motor.
