Warranty Information
Craftsman One Year Full Warranty for defects in material or workmanship; 90 days for commercial/rental use.
Wet/Dry Vac Operation:
Dry Material Pickup: Ensure the filter is in place. For fine dust, empty the drum and clean the filter frequently. A dry filter is required.
Wet Material Pickup: For small amounts of liquid, the filter can remain. For large amounts, remove the filter to prevent saturation and misting. The float mechanism will automatically shut off airflow when the drum is full. Turn off the Vac and empty the drum. Dry the filter after use to prevent mildew.
Blowing Feature: Attach the hose to the blowing port. Use safety eyewear. Do not direct air at bystanders or children.
Emptying the Drum: Remove the power assembly. Tip the drum and empty contents. The 9-gallon model has a drain cap for easier liquid removal.
