FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
DRY PICK UP OPERATION
NOTE:
Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a dry use filter installed. Using the vacuum without a
filter will cause dust to discharge from the blower port and cause damage to the motor.
WARNING
–
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET
BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.
Follow the instructions for the filter that came with your vacuum. Some filters mentioned do not come
standard with all vacuums. Additional filters are available at your local dealer or the Shop-Vac
®
website.
CARTRIDGE FILTER
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 fine dust or powders a high efficiency filter bag must be used with the cartridge
filter.
1 If a foam sleeve is installed on the lid cage, remove it by sliding it off the lid cage. NOTE: If the cartridge
filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using it for dry pick up.
2. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge down over the lid
cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover.
3
. Place the filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter. Hold the tank cover with one
hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to lock the filter into place.
