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 fine
dust, it will be necessary for you to
= ON
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain
peak vac performance.
NOTE: It is necessary that a dried filter is
used 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
must first allow the filter to dry.

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 it is recommended that the filter
be removed. If the filter is not removed,
it will become saturated and misting
may appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. You will know that the float
has risen because suction stops 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.
