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
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.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the vac, do not
run motor with float in raised position.
