WET PICK UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conversion when going from dry
to wet pick up. Remove all dry use filters from the vacuum. A clean cartridge filter may be used for vacuuming small
amounts of liquids. For proper installation of the cartridge filter refer to Installing the Cartridge Filter. For best results when
vacuuming large quantities of liquid, remove the cartridge filter. When vacuuming liquids containing debris, it is recomm-
ended purchasing a foam sleeve and install over filter cage; otherwise a foam sleeve is not required for wet pick up. Foam
sleeve and additional filters may be purchased by visiting our website at www.shopvac.com, contacting our customer
service department, or purchasing at your local Shop-Vac
®
distributor. 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 37)
, misting may occur if inlet deflector is not inserted properly. Misting in exhaust air may occur if the filter becomes
saturated during wet pick up. If misting occurs, remove filter and allow to dry or, replace with another dry filter to eliminate the misting and
possible dripping of liquid around the lid. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be
emptied. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interior of the tank should be periodically cleaned.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover. Place tank cover in an upside down position. Remove
foam sleeve by sliding it up and off the lid cage.
2. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water wash is not always required, depending on the
condition of the foam sleeve.
4. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The foam sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the
lid cage.
NOTE:
WET PICK UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY KITCHEN ACCIDENTS. THIS
CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.

y pick up; installation is the same for both. When picking up large quantities of liquid please refer to
the Wet Pick Up Operation section in this manual. Use the cartridge filter in position over the lid cage for most general dry pick up. Remove inlet
deflector from the deflector guide sliding in an upward motion.
NOTE:
Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can be taken out. For dry
pick up be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the tank bottom
(Figure 24)
. For wet pick up be sure the opening of the inlet deflector
is facing the top of the tank. 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
(Figure 25)
. Place 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 tighten, locking the filter into place
(Figures 26 & 27)
. To remove filter for cleaning, hold the tank cover and
turn the filter retainer counter-clockwise to loosen and remove, slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage
(Figures 28 & 29)
. To clean filter shake or
brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter) with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and reinstall
(Figures 30 & 31)
.
NOTE:
If the filter has been used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using for dry pick up.
