hard to reach locations.
Muffler/Diffuser - Use to disperse the
exhaust air stream while reducing noise.
Insert into the blowing port.
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.
2-1/2" Utility Nozzle - General purpose
nozzle for most vacuuming applications.
2-1/2" Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup
on smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and
dry the surface in one stroke.
2-1/2" Floor Brush - Used for large area
clean-ups on smooth surfaces.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac.
2. Your Vac comes with the 17907 Filter
installed. 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.
Vacuuming Liquids
_, WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid the filter should be removed.
If the filter is not removed, it will
become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
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
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. 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
damage to the Vac do not run motor with
float in raised position.
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
powerhead assembly.
3. Lay powerhead assembly aside on a
clean area while emptying drum.
4. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
_, WARNING: To reduce the risk of
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.
