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
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 can
quickly dry the filter by running the vac
without hose
10 minutes. The clean air rushing
through the vac will help dry the filter.
The optional High Efficiency Material
Filter, stock number DHF5000 will do a
better job stopping very fine particles than
the DHF4000 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 picking up large amounts of
liquid, it is recommended that you
remove the vac from the storage rack
and place 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.
4. 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.

5. 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
damage to the vac do not run motor with
float in raised position.
