FILTERS
The Viper Wet Vac comes from the
factory with two filters—one for
WET pick up (BLUE mesh), and
one for DRY pick up (WHITE
cloth). DO NOT pick up wet
material with the WHITE filter
placed in the machine. If you
only use the machine for wet pick
up, it may be in your best interest
to discard the WHITE filter.

FILTERS
Place BLUE mesh filter inside tank.
The black gasket should rest on
the outside edge of the tank, and
vacuum head assembly should
be placed over the filter.
This filter is designed to keep foam
build-up from entering the
vacuum motor.

Vac-Motor Assembly
The vac-motor assembly should fit
easily over the tank. Latches are
often broken if the vac-motor
head is not properly seated on
the tank.
The latches are easily replaceable
with two screws.
