Operation (continued)
Familiarize yourself with the accessories included with the vac. Each accessory may be used in various ways for vacuuming and blowing debris. Here is a list of the accessories and their uses.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle for most vacuuming applications.
Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle for car interiors and most upholstery cleaning.
Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry the surface in one stroke.
Extension Wands - These wands can be connected together and provides additional length for more reach.
Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or blowing capability to work site. Provides the means of attaching extension wands and nozzles.
!WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not run vac unattended.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1.The filter must always be in correct position at all times to avoid leaks and possible damage to vac.
2.Your using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the drum and clean 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 material when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3.If 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.
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
4.After using the vac to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to avoid 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
!WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before 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 lid. Pull the flexible latches outward on each side of the lid to release from the drum.
3.While holding the latches out, lift the top assembly up and away from the drum.
4.Lay top assembly upside down on a clean area while emptying drum or changing filter.
