OPERATION
VACUUMING DRY MATERIALS
1. The Filter must always be correctly installed to
avoid leaks and possible Vac damage.
2. To maintain peak performance when vacuuming
fine dust, clean the Drum and Filter regularly.
NOTE: Do not use a wet Filter when picking up dry
material. The Filter will quickly clog and be difficult to
clean.
3. If the Filter is wet, you must allow it to dry
completely or replace it with a dry Filter before
using the Vac to pick up dry material.

VACUUMING LIQUIDS
1. Vacuuming up small amounts of liquid (less than
5 cm (2") collected in Dust Drum) does not require
Filter removal.
2. When larger amounts of liquid are to be picked up,
remove the Filter, but not the Filter Cage or Float,
to prevent the Filter from becoming saturated with
liquid. If the Filter becomes saturated, you may see
"mist" coming from the Blowing Port.
3. When the Drum is "full" the Float will rise and cut
off airflow. The motor sound will rise in pitch and
its speed will increase indicating the Drum is "full".
Turn OFF the Vac and unplug the power cord before
emptying the Drum.
4. Following use of Vac for wet pick up, allow Filter to
dry completely to avoid mildew and Filter damage.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac,
do not run Motor with Float in raised position.
WARNING:
!
Do not operate without filter cage and float, as
they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
