Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac. Make sure
that the filter is completely covering the
filter cage and that the retainer band is
as close to the lid as possible, located
above the rib tabs on the filter cage.
Make sure there are no gaps between
the filter and the lid. (See illustration).
It is very important to assemble the
filter to the cage without allowing
any possible leaks or tears. Any
leaks will allow the picked up media
to be blown out of the blower port
and back into the surrounding
environment.
2. To maintain peak performance of your
Vac when picking up small debris such
as sawdust, it may be helpful to empty
the dust drum and clean or replace the
filter at more frequent intervals.
NOTE: The filter should be dry to pick up
dry material. If you use your Vac to pick
up dry debris when the filter is wet, the
filter will clog quickly and be very difficult
to clean. In case the filter gets wet,
replace it before continuing dry pickup.

Vacuuming Liquids

1. Removal of the filter is recommended
for wet pickups.
2. This Wet/Dry Vac is equipped with a
float mechanism which will rise
automatically to cut off the airflow when
the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level. When this
happens, turn off Vac, unplug the
power cord, and empty the dust drum.
You will know that the float has shut the
airflow off because the suction ceases
and the motor noise becomes higher in
pitch, due to increased motor speed.
The liquid capacity may vary with the
rate of pickup.
3. Be sure to replace filter after wet
pickup. Never pick up dry debris
without the filter properly installed.
