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.
Tug-A-Long Dual Flex Hose - Provides
transfer of vacuum or blowing capability
to work site. Provides the means of
attaching extension wands and nozzles.
Extension Wands - These wands can
be connected together and provides
additional length for more reach.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle
for most vacuuming applications.
Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on
smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry
the surface in one stroke.
Included with Select Model Numbers:
Car Nozzle - General purpose nozzle for
detailed cleaning.
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.
3. If your Filter is wet but you need to
use the Vac to pick up dry material,
you must first allow the Filter to dry.
Vacuuming Liquids
IMPORTANT:
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of liquid in
the bottom of the Drum) the Filter may
be left in place.
2. When picking up larger amounts of
liquid (more than 4 inches (10 cm)
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 air-flow.
When this happens, turn off the Vac,
unplug the Power Cord, and empty the
Drum. 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.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids, the
Filter must be dried to reduce the risk of
possible mildew and damage to the Filter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run Motor with
Float in raised position.
