NOTICE
Do not vacuum drywall dust or replace soot or ash with standard Wet/Dry lter. This is a very ne
dust which will not be captured by the lter and may cause damage to motor. When vacuuming
ne dust use a ne dust lter (sold separately).
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (g. 1)
2. In order to prepare your vacuum for dry vacuuming, verify that the cartridge lter is securely
mounted. With the power head removed and in the upside down position, make sure the lter is
pushed in until it stops against the power head. (g. 2) Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the
cartridge lter pre-installed, if not see page 14 for installation instructions.
3. Place lter retainer on top of cartridge lter and tighten down by turning the retainer handle
clockwise. (g. 3)
4. Place the power head back on the container, aligning the top section with the latches, and lock
into place. (g. 4)
