Operation (continued)

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1.The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to the vac.

2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the vac canister and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to main- tain 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.

3.ff your filter is wet but you need to use the vac to pick up dry material, you can

quickly dry the filter by running the vac without hose attached for about

10 minutes. The clean air rushing through the vac will help dry the filter.

The optional Craftsman HEPA Rated Material Filter, stock number 9-17912will

do a better job stopping very fine parti- cles than the 9-17816 filter.

Vacuuming Liquids

1.When picking up small amounts of liq- uid the filter may be left in place.

2.When picking up large amounts of liq- uid we recommend removing the vacu- um from the storage rack and placing it on the floor. When full of water the vac will weigh approximately 40 pounds and may be difficult to remove from the storage rack. Always empty vac and dry filter immediately after picking up liquids.

3.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.

4.When the liquid in the vac canister reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off airflow. When this happens, turn off the vac, unplug the power cord,

and empty the vac canister. 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.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of dam-

age to the vac do not run motor with float in raised position.

Emptying the Vac Canister

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before emptying the vac canister.

f. With the vacuum removed from the storage rack (see Removing Vac from Storage Rack section), remove the vac motor assembly from the vac canister assembly.

2.Lay vac motor assembly upside down on a clean area while emptying vac canister.

3.Dump the vac canister contents into the proper waste disposal container.

Sears recommended accessories are available at Sears retail stores.

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.
