position to reduce the risk of leaks and

 

possible damage to vac. Make sure that

the filter is completely covering the filter

cage and that the retainer band is as

close to the lid as possible. Make sure

 

there are no gaps between the filter and

 

the lid. (See illustration). It is very

 

important to assemble the filter to the

 

cage without allowing any possible

 

leaks or tears. Any leaks will allow

 

the picked up media to be blown out

 

of the blower port and back into the

 

surrounding environment.

 

2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the dust drum and clean or replace the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak vac performance.

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.In case the filter gets wet, replace it before continuing to do dry pickups.

Vacuuming Liquids

1.Removal of the filter is highly recommended for wet pickups.

2.This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float mechanism which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow when the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level. When this happens, turn off vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the dust drum. You will know that the float has shut the airflow off because the suction ceases and the motor noise becomes higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed. The liquid capacity may vary with the rate of pickup.

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