Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to avoid leaks and possible
damage to vac.
2. 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. Ifyou use your vac to pick up
dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3. if your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you can
quickly dry the filter by running the vac
• without hose attached for about 10 min-
utes. The clean air rushing through the
vac will help dry the filter.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of liq-
uid the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of liq-
uid 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.After using the vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to avoid possible
mildew and damage to the filter.
4. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float mecha-
nism 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 avoid damage to the
vac do not run motor with float in raised
position.
