vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The filter must always be in correct
position at all times to avoid leaks
and possible damage to Vac.
2. When 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 dust 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 must first allow the filter to dry.

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.
WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches
a predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to
cut off airflow. 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. When this
happens, turn off the Vac, unplug
the power cord, and empty the drum.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to avoid
possible mildew and damage to
the filter.
