Filter Cleaning
Your Filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak
Vacuum performance.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. Some removal of dry debris can be accomplished
without removing the Filter from the Vacuum.
Slap your hand on top of the Powerhead Assembly
while the Vacuum is turned OFF.
2. 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.
3. After Filter removal from Vacuum, remove the dry
debris by gently tapping Filter against the inside wall
of your Dust Drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of dry Filter with fine dust
(no debris), run water through it as described under
“Cleaning A Wet Filter”.
Cleaning A Wet 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.
IMPORTANT:
After cleaning, check the Filter for tears or
small holes. Tears and holes in the Filter can cause debris and
dust to be blown from the Vacuum. Do not use a Filter with
holes or tears. Replace immediately.
Allow the Filter to dry before reinstalling and storing the
Vacuum or picking up dry debris.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vacuum looking its best, clean the out-
side 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 Dust Drum should be disinfected.
To disinfect the Dust Drum:
1. Pour 1 Gallon (4 L) of water and 1 Teaspoon (5 mL)
chlorine bleach into the Dust Drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes, carefully swishing
every few minutes, making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the Dust Drum.
3. Empty Dust Drum after 20 minutes. Rinse with
water until bleach smell is gone. Allow Dust Drum to
dry completely before sealing the Motor on the Dust
Drum.
Casters
If your Casters are noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the
Roller Shaft to make them quieter.
Storage
Before storing your Vacuum, the Dust Drum should be
emptied and cleaned. The Power Cord should be wrapped
around the Carry Handle and the Hose should be stored as
described in this manual. Accessories should be kept in the
same area as the Vacuum so they can be readily available.
The Vacuum should be stored indoors.
WARNING:
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other
maintenance, repairs and adjustments should be
performed by Authorized Service Centers, always using
CRAFTSMAN replacement parts.
