Cleaning a Dry Filter
NOTE:
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.
1.
Light cleaning of some dry debris from
the filter can be accomplished without
removing the filter from the Vac.
Simply slap your hand on top of the
handle while the Vac is turned off.
2.
Remove filter from Vac. Gently tap the
filter against the inside wall of your
dust drum and the debris will loosen
and fall.
3.
For thorough cleaning of a dry filter
with fine dust (no debris) you may run
water through it as described under
“Cleaning A Wet Filter” Section.
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. Allow
filter to dry out before storing.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside 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 drum
should be disinfected.
!
To disinfect the drum:
1.
Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2.
Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3.
Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
Cord Maintenance
When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer to reduce
the risk of accident.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be wrapped around the unit and the hose
should be stored as described in this
manual. Accessories should be kept in
the same area as the Vac so they can be
readily available. The Vac should be
stored indoors.
Casters and Wheels
Should your cart squeak or become hard
to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle. If your casters are
noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the
roller shaft to make them quieter.
Frame and Handles
Your metal handle is painted to prevent
rust, however, liquids and corrosive
debris should be wiped off with a soft
cloth should they come in contact with
the handle.
WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
