To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its best, 
clean the outside with a dampened cloth, 
then dry with a clean towel.
To clean the inside of the collection tank:
1.  Dump debris out.
2.  Wash collection tank 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 collection 
tank should be disinfected.
To disinfect the collection tank:
1.  Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon 
     chlorine bleach into the collection tank.
 2.  Let solution stand for 20 minutes, 

     carefully swishing every few minutes, 
     making sure to wet all inside surfaces  
     of the collection tank.
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 collection tank.

Before storing your Vac, the collection tank 
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.
