WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion, do not operate this vacuum in areas with
flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust in the
air. Flammable gases or vapors include but are
not limited to: lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners,
oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol or aerosol
sprays. Explosive dusts include but are not
limited to: coal, magnesium, aluminum, and
grain or gun powder. Do not vacuum explosive
dust, flammable or combustible liquids or hot
ashes. Do not use this vacuum as a sprayer for any
flammable or combustible liquid. To reduce the
risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts,
do not vacuum toxic materials.
WARNING: The operation of any utility
vacuum can result in foreign objects being blown
into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
injury. Always wear safety goggles complying
with ANSI Z87.1(or in Canada, CSA Z94.3)
before starting operation.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of hearing
damage, wear ear protectors when using the
vacuum for extended hours or when using it in
a noisy area.
INSTALLING THE DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
1. Slide the cardboard collar opening firmly onto
the vacuum port deflector until it stops against
the deflector wall.
2. Position the bag so that it is distributed around
the inside of the tank.
3. Replace and secure the power head onto the
tank.

DRY PICK-UP
1. The filter must always be in correct position to
reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage
to vacuum. Make sure that the filter is
completely covering 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 any
possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will allow
the picked up debris to be blown out of the
blowing port and back into the surrounding
environment.
2. When using the vacuum to pick up fine dust,
it will be necessary to empty the dust tank
and clean or replace the filter at more
frequent intervals to maintain peak vacuum
performance.
NOTICE:
A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If
use the vacuum to pick up dust when the filter is
wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult
to clean. If the filter gets wet, replace it before
continuing to do dry pickups.
WET PICK-UP
The cartridge filter must be positioned over the filter
cage while vacuuming liquids. When picking up
several tanks full of liquid, the cartridge filter will
become saturated and misting may appear in the
exhaust air. At this time, the should dry or replace
the cartridge filter to eliminate the misting and
possible dripping of liquid around the lid. After
completing a wet pick-up job, raise the hose to
drain any excess liquid into the tank before shutting
off. The interior of tank should be periodically
cleaned.
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet
before removing the power head. Place power
head in an upside down position. Remove the
cartridge filter by sliding it up and off the
filter cage.
2. Shake excess dust off the cartridge filter with
a rapid up and down movement.
NOTICE:
WET PICK-UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE
WASHED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER
PICKING UP WET, STICKY FLUIDS OR SPILLS.
THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM
SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
3. This wet/dry vacuum is equipped with a float
mechanism which will rise automatically to
cut off the airflow when the liquid in the tank
reaches a predetermined level. When this
happens, turn off vacuum, unplug the power
cord, and empty the dust tank. 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.
