Using the Vacuum Cleaner To Pick Up Wet Materials:
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT pick up wet materials unless the vacuum cleaner is properly set up to pick up wet materials.
A float valve shuts off suction when the tank is full. Be sure the float is clean and moves freely in the float cage to ensure that the float valve works (Figs. 3 & 4).

WARNING!
If the float is clean, moves freely and the suction does not shut off when the tank is filled (you will be able to see water in the exhaust port), send the motorhead to the nearest MILWUAKEE service facility for repair.
Cat. No. 8965 does not need a wet adapter for picking up wet materials. The safety valve is already built in to the 8965 vaccum cleaner. Do not remove the foam filter sleeve. It is designed to be used with both wet and dry materials.
Installing Wet Adapter (Fig. 4)
1.Remove motorhead and set aside.
2.Set wet adapter into tank.
3.Replace motorhead and snap down tank latches.
