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. Remove filter from vac. Gently tap the

filter against the inside wall of your dust

drum and the debris will loosen and fall.

2. For thorough cleaning of a dry filter with

fine dust (no debris) you may run water

through it as described in the “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.

Remember: To dry a filter quickly, reinstall

the filter on the vac and allow the unit to run

for approximately 10 minutes. The clean

air rushing through the filter will dry it.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the

filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a

filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small

hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of

your vac.

IMPORTANT: If your filter is damaged or

worn, Replace the filter immediately

.

Installation

Refer to "Filter Assembly/Replacement"

Section of this manual.

Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling

and storing the vac.

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.
