DRY PICK-UP
1. The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible
damage to the 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 allowing any possible leaks or tears.
Any leaks will allow the picked up debris to be blown out of the blower port and back
into the surrounding environment.
2. When using the vacuum to pick up very 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 you 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.
INSTALLING 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.
WET PICK-UP
1. Remove disposable and reusable filter and replace it with foam filter when you do 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 tank reaches a predetermined level. When this
happens, turn off vac, 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.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of damage to the vacuum, do not run motor with float in raised
position.
