Operation (continued)
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 drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mecha- nism will rise automatically to cut off airflow. 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.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of dam- age to the vac do not run motor with float in raised position.

1.To remove the lid to empty contents of the dust drum, simply lift the two drum latches at the front and rear of the dust drum. Lift the lid assembly up and off the dust drum and set to the side.
