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 air-flow. 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.
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.
5. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.

back injury or falls, do not lift a vac
heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop
or drain enough contents out to
make the vac light enough to lift
comfortably.

Cord Maintenance

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover.

Moving the Wet/Dry Vac

Should it become necessary to pick the
vac up to move it, the handles on the
sides of the dust drum are used to lift. To
maneuver the vac, the pull handle above
the inlet should be used.
