Filter Maintenance (continued)
Dry Filter
NOTE: For best results of cleaning due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
1. Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the fil-
ter from the vac by slapping your hand
on top of the lid while the vac is turned
off.
2.After filter removal from vac, remove
the dry debris by gently tapping the fil-
ter against the inside wall of your dust
drum and the debris will loosen and
fall.
3. For thorough cleaning of dry filter with fine
dust (no debris) you may run water
through it as described under "Wet Filter".
Wet Filter
After filter is removed, a wet filter should be
cleaned by running water through it from a
hose or spigot. Take care that water pres-
sure from the hose is not strong enough to
damage filter.
Installation
To ensure a proper seal, clean the lid area
where the filter will seat. Slide the new filter
over the filter cage. Replace filter plate then
run filter nut down threads, finger tight only.
Do not overtighten as this will cause defor-
mation or cracks in the filter.
Refer to page 6, "Filter Assembly".
Wet/Dry Vac Maintenance

best, clean the outside with a cloth damp-
ened with warm water and mild soap, to
clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
