Cleaning
A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that the water pressure from the hose is
not strong enough to damage the 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.
Installation
Refer to "Replacement
Filter Assembly"
Section of this manual.
Allow the filter to dry before 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 damp-
ened 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, care-
fully swishing every few minutes, mak-
ing 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.
Casters
If your casters are noisy, you may put a
drop of oil on the roller shaft to make them
quieter.
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.
_, WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs
and adjustment should be performed
by Sears Service Centers, always
using Sears replacement parts.
