Operation (continued)
Vacuuming Liquids
1.Removal of the filter is highly
recommended for wet pickups.
2. Misting may appear from the blowing
port, this is normal.
3. This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float
mechanism which will rise automatically
to cut off the airflow when the liquid in the
drum reaches a predetermined leve!.
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.
mMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the vac, do not run motor with
float in raised position.
4. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the
filter must be dried to avoid possible
mildew and damage to the filter.
