Foam filter
Disconnect Wet/Dry vac from electrical outlet.
To clean, remove foam filter (B) and rinse with clean
water. Let filter air dry.
To replace, slide filter completely down over openings
on inner tank filter cage (C). (Fig.17)
The small foam filter must be in place whenever
the inner tank is in use.
If the Wet/Dry vac is used as a single tank unit for wet
pick-up, it is best to use a Vax foam filter sleeve
instead of the cartridge filter.

After wet pick-up, allow filter to dry and gently brush
with a soft brush. Check filter thoroughly and replace
it if there are any tears or holes in it.
If extremely dirty, the cartridge filter can be cleaned by
a soft bristle brush.
NOTE: Vigorous scrubbing may shorten the life of the
cartridge filter. Do not use water to clean cartridge
filter.
Lubrication
The motor is equipped with bearings which contain
sufficient lubrication for the life of the motor. The
addition of lubricant could cause damage. Do not
add lubricant to motor bearings.
