Operation
(continued)
Vacuuming
Dry Materials
1. The filter must always
be in correct
position
to reduce
the risk of 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.
The optional
Craftsman
HEPA
Rated
Material
Filter, stock
number
9-17912
will
do a better job stopping
very fine parti-
cles than the 9-17816
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.
I CAUTION:
Do
not
remove
the
filter
cage
or float.
It is there
to shut
off air-
flow when the drum is full of liquids.
3. After using the vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to reduce
the
risk of 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.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce
the risk of dam-
age 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 power
assembly.
Push
down and pull out the flexible
locking
tabs to release
from drum.
2. While
holding
the locking
tabs out, lift
the power
assembly
up and away from
the drum.
3. Lay power
assembly
upside
down
on a
clean area while emptying
drum.
4. Dump
the drum contents
into the prop-
er waste
disposal
container.
5. The 113.177420,
9-Gallon
Wet/Dry
Vac
comes
equipped
with a drain
for easy
emptying
of liquids.
Simply
unscrew
the
drain
cap and lift the opposite
side
slightly
to empty
the drum.
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, the flange
on the dust
drum is used to lift. To maneuver
the vac,
the push/pull
handle
in the rear of the unit
should
be used.
Blowing
Feature
Your vac features
a blowing
port. It can
blow sawdust
and other debris.
Follow
the steps
below to use your vac as a
blower.
