OPERATION
1. Vacuuming up small amounts of liquid
(less than 5 cm (2") collected in Dust
Drum) does not require the removal of
the Filter.
2. When larger amounts of liquid are to
be picked up, remove the filter, but not
the Filter Cage or Float, to prevent the
Filter from becoming saturated with
liquid. If the Filter becomes saturated,
you may see "mist" coming from the
Blowing Port.
3. When the Drum is "full" the Float will
rise and cut off airflow. The motor
sound will rise in pitch and its speed
will increase indicating the Drum is
"full". Turn OFF the Vac and unplug the
power cord before emptying the Drum.
!
WARNING: Do not operate without
filter cage and float in place. They
4. Following use of Vac for wet pick up,
allow Filter to dry completely to avoid
mildew and Filter damage.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk
1. Unplug Power Cord from power source.
2. Remove the Powerhead Assembly by
pulling outward at the top of the two
Latches.
3. Lift Powerhead Assembly from the
Dust Drum and set aside.
4. Empty Dust Drum into a proper waste
disposal container.
