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. 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.
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 minutes. 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock, do not run vac
unattended.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
vac do not run motor with float in raised
position.
Emptying the Drum
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before emptying
the drum.
1. Remove the lid. Pull the flexible latches
outward on each side of the lid to
release from the drum.
2. While holding the latches out, lift the top
assembly up and away from the drum.
3. Lay top assembly upside down on a
clean area while emptying drum or
changing filter.
4. Dump the drum contents into the proper
waste disposal container.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
back injury or falls, do not lift a vac
heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop
or drain enough contents out to
make the vac light enough to lift
comfortably.
Moving the Vac
Should it become necessary to pick the
vac up to move it, DO NOT pick the vac up
by the lid handles unless dust drum is
empty. To avoid dropping the vac due to
latches releasing or possible part break-
age, pick the vac up by the handles of the
dust drum.
