Operation (continued)
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must be in the correct position
at all times to avoid leaks and possible
damage to the vac. Make sure that the
filter is completely covering the filter
cage and that the retainer band is as
close to the lid as possible, making sure
there are no gaps between the filter and
the lid. (See illustration). It is very
important to assemble the filter to
the cage without allowing any possi-
ble leaks or tears. Any leaks will
allow the picked up media to be
blown out of the blower port and
back into the surrounding environ-
ment.
2. When using your vac to pick up very
fine dust, empty the dust drum and
clean or replace the filter at more fre-
quent intervals to maintain peak perfor-
mance.
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.
In case the filter gets wet, replace it
before continuing to do dry pickups.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. Removal of the filter is recommended
for wet pickups.
2. This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float
mechanism which will rise automatically
to cut off the air flow when the liquid in
the drum reaches a predetermined
level. When this happens, turn off vac,
unplug the power cord, and empty the
dust drum. You will know that the float
has shut the airflow off because the
suction ceases and the motor noise
becomes higher in pitch, due to
increased motor speed. The liquid
capacity may vary with the rate of
pickup.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the vac
do not run motor with float in raised posi-
tion.
