- Fit the filter, any required bag and the tool specified for the chosen mode.
- Inspect the float or level system, hose and lid seal.
- Monitor filling and stop according to the machine procedure.

Care and storage
Empty and clean the tank, inspect the filter and dry components as instructed before dry pickup. Automatic filter cleaning does not replace inspection or replacement when worn.
Limits and things to check
A wet/dry tank does not permit every liquid, fine dust or combustible material. Dust classes, certifications and antistatic systems apply to the complete configuration. Have specialized applications verified.
