HOW TO USE

HEPA Wet/Dry Vacuum

Filter assembly:

The HEPA Filter is placed

over the crosspiece stud.

The threads will protrude

through the hole in the

middle of the HEPA filter.

Slide the provided rubber

washer (part #91522) over

the threads of the stud

with the rubber side

against the HEPA Filter.

Screw down the wing nut

(part #91523) and slightly

compress the rubber washer. It will

compress about 1/2 of its original

thickness. Next place the HEPA Filter

Cover Support on top of the HEPA filter

and finally place the HEPA Filter Cover

over the filter and cover. Attach the filter

cover with the 10" band clamp using a

flat blade screwdriver.

Turn right side up and screw the brass

agitator rod cover into the top of the

lid - only finger tight!! Do not over

tighten. This part must be in place to

maintain suction.

Dry Pickup:

Wet waste should be emptied from tank

but filters can remain in place.

Connect suction hose and appropriate

attachments for use. As suction is

reduced from fine material coating the

filters, shut off the unit to clean filters.

Remove the brass agitator rod cover and

rock the agitator rod from side to side to

clean filters and resume suction.

After Dry Pickup:

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.

Release lid latches and remove cleaner

lid assembly as well as intermediate

cover from tank. Empty dry material from

the tank and intermediate cover.

To avoid back strain, do not lift a full

tank. First, scoop out enough debris to

make tank easier to lift.

Empty contents into a suitable receptacle.

Wet Pickup:

Dry waste should be emptied from tank

and intermediate cover but filters can remain

in place.

Should filters become wet, during use, dry both

filters thoroughly before continued use, consult

the trouble shooting guide (Filters get wet).

After Wet Pickup:

Unscrew drain

cap from bottom

of tank. This

drain is regulated so that

a floor drain can be used conveniently.

The liquid can be regulated from a drip to

a full flow.

The suction hose can be put in the drain cap to

drain liquid up to 12 feet away.

Rinse inside of tank thoroughly with clean water

particularly if spills or other substances other

than water have been

picked up. Wipe inside of tank dry. Screw drain

cap back on tightly so it is ready for use again.

Automatic Wet Shut-off:

When the tank is full of liquid, the automatic

shut-off mechanism will shut off cleaner pick-up.

When this happens, the motor sound will

become noticeably higher in pitch. Turn cleaner

off and empty tank to continue use.
