Operation (continued)
Familiarize yourself with the accessories
included with the Vac. Each accessory
may be used in various ways for
vacuuming and blowing debris. Here is
a list of the accessories and their uses.
Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle for car
interiors and most upholstery cleaning.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle
for most vacuuming applications.
Extension Wands - These wands can
be connected together and provides
additional length for more reach.
Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.

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 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.

Vacuuming Liquids

1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (less than 1.2 cm (0.5 inches)
of liquid in the bottom of the Drum)
the Filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid (more than 1.2 cm (0.5 inches)
of liquid in the bottom of the Drum)
we recommend that the Filter be
removed. If the Filter is not removed,
it will become saturated and misting
may appear in the exhaust.
WARNING:
Do not operate without filter cage
and float, as they prevent liquid from
entering the impeller and damaging
the motor.
3. When the liquid in the Drum reaches
a predetermined level, the Float
mechanism will rise automatically to
cut off airflow. 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. 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.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run Vac with
Float in raised position.
