Operation (continued)

NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your Vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.

Vacuuming Liquids

1.When picking up small amounts of liquid the filter may be left in place.

2.When picking up large amounts of liquid we recommend that the filter be removed. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust.

3.When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off air-flow. When this happens, turn off the Vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. You will know that the float has risen because Vac airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed.

4.After using the Vac to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew and damage to the filter.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac, do not run motor with float in raised position.

Emptying the Drum

1.The Vac comes equipped with a drain for easy emptying of liquids. Simply unscrew the drain cap and lift the opposite side slightly to empty the drum.

2.Another option is to remove the powerhead assembly.

3.Lay powerhead assembly aside on a clean area while emptying drum.

4.Dump the drum contents into the proper waste disposal container.

!WARNING: To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or drain enough contents out to make the Vac light enough to lift comfortably.

Moving the Wet/Dry Vac

Should it become necessary to pick the Vac up to move it, the handle on the sides of the dust drum are used to lift. To maneuver the Vac, the push/pull handle on the powerhead of the unit should be used.
