DRY PICK-UP OPERATION

With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge filter down over the lid cage, pushing until the filter seals against cover (Figure 8). Foam sleeve will remain in place. Place filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter, and holding the tank cover with one hand, turn the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place (Figures 9 & 10). To remove the filter for clean- ing, again hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer

counterclockwise to loosen and remove, then slide the car- tridge filter off the lid cage (Figures 11 & 12}. To clean the cartridge filter, shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter) with water. Dry completely and re- install (Figures 13 & 14).

Your vac filter is color coded with a black stripe. When replacing, just match the color.

WET PICK-UP OPERATION

For best results for wet pick-up remove cartridge filter and utilize the foam sleeve (already in place over the lid cage). For wet pick-up remove inlet deflector from deflector guide sliding in an upward motion. NOTE: Hose must be removed before inlet deflector can be taken out. Be sure the opening of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank (Figure

16). Misting may occur if inlet deflector is not inserted prop- erly. Misting in exhaust air may occur if the foam sleeve becomes saturated during wet pick-up. If misting occurs, remove and dry the saturated foam sleeve or replace with another dry foam sleeve to eliminate the misting and possi- ble dripping of liquid around the lid. Turn the unit off imme- diately 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. 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 sleeve under running water, rinsing from the inside. A water wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the sleeve.
