Assembling Dolly (Cat. No. 8938-20) (Fig. 3)
Assemble as show in the diagram. You will need: a hammer, two 1/2"
open end wrenches, and two 7/16" open end wrenches.
1. Insert 2-1/2" bolt (M) through the center hole in rear frame (P), attach
lockwasher (L) and nut (K) and tighten securely.
2. Attach support struts (D) to back of rear frame (P) with 5/8" bolt, star
washers, and nuts (finger tight only).
3. Position main frame inside rear frame. Attach with (2) 5/8" bolts and,
star washers, and nuts on each side (G).
4. Attach handle uprights, inside main frame (Q) (make sure that buttons
at the top face inward using 5/8" bolts, star washers and nuts finger
tighten only). Align holes at the top of the struts (D) with hole in the
handle uprights (G). Attach with 1-3/8" bolts, star washers, and nuts
and tighten securely.
5. Go back and tighten the bolts at the bottom of the uprights and struts

Vacuuming wet or dry materials (Fig. 4)
When vacuuming dry materials, either the filter cartridge or the foam
filter sleeve AND the cloth filter are required. There are other filters that
can be used with the required filters to provide additional filtration when
vacuuming dry material. Follow the the instructions included with these
filters. Empty tank and clean filter frequently. Be sure filters are dry
before using the vacuum to pick up dry material. Dry material will clog
wet filters and make them difficult to clean.
When vacuuming wet materials, either the filter cartridge or a foam filter
sleeve is required. A float valve shuts off suction when the tank is full.
Be sure that the float is clean and moves freely in the float cage to
ensure that the float valve works. If you are vacuuming a large amount
of liquid, the filter cartridge can become saturated and a mist can appear
from the exhaust port. If this happens, dry the filter by running the
vacuum (without picking up anything) for 10 minutes.

Float
If the float is clean and moves freely and the
suction does not shut off when tank is filled (you
will be able to see water in the exhaust port),
send motorhead to the nearest MILWAUKEE
service facility for repair.
