Float/Cage Assembly

WARNING: For your own safety,
never connect plug to power source
outlet until all assembly steps are
complete and you have read and
understood the safety and operation
instructions. Do not operate vac with
any parts damaged or missing.
1. Remove the detachable blower from the
power head assembly by pressing
down on the power head latch under
the detachable blower handle and lifting
the blower off the lid of the vac. Set the
detachable blower off to the side.
2. Unlatch the two drum latches located in
the front and rear of the vac. Lift the lid
off the drum. Place the lid assembly of
the vac upside down into the drum or
place upside down on a clean smooth
surface.
3. Find the float in the loose parts bag.
Place the float over the center of the lid
with the words "This Side Towards Lid"
laying face down over the hole.
4. Line up filter cage tabs with the slots in
the center ring of the lid assembly. Push
on the filter cage until the tabs snap into
the slots for a secure fit.
NOTE: If filter cage needs to be removed,
because the float is placed in the wrong
way, use a flat blade screwdriver and
insert the blade near one of the tabs
between the filter cage and the center ring
of the lid. Pry the tab out of the slot. Tilt
the cage and lift away from the lid. To
replace, follow float/cage assembly
instructions.
