Vacuuming
Liquids
1.Removal
of
the
filter
is
highly
recommended
for wet pickups.
2. Misting
may
appear
from
the
blowing
port, this is normal.
3. 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
leve!.
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.
mMPORTANT:
To
reduce
the
risk
of
damage
to the vac, do not run motor
with
float in raised
position.
4. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the
filter
must
be dried
to avoid
possible
mildew
and damage
to the filter.
