Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The filter must always be in correct

position at all times 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. 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

1. When picking up small amounts of

liquid the filter may be left in place.

2. When picking up large amounts of

liquid we recommend that the filter be

removed. If the filter is not removed, it

will become saturated and misting may

appear in the exhaust.

WARNING: Do not operate

without filter cage and float, as they

prevent liquid from entering the

impeller and damaging the motor.

!

3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a

predetermined level, the float

mechanism will rise automatically to cut

off airflow. 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.

When this happens, turn off the Vac,

unplug the power cord, and empty the

drum.

4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,

the filter must be dried to avoid

possible mildew and damage to the

filter.

collection without removing the car nozzle

and hose.

interiors and most upholstery cleaning.

blowing capability to work site. Provides
