Emptying Dust Drum - Sears Craftsman 113.170260 Owner's Manual

Operation (continued)
4. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float mecha-
nism will dse 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.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of dam-
age to the vac do not run motor with float
in raised position.
Emptying Dust Drum
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
I
unplug power cord before emptying
the drum.
1. To remove the lid to empty contents of
the dust drum, simply lift the two drum
latches at the front and rear of the dust
drum and lift the lid assembly up and off
the dust drum and set to the side.
NOTE: Do not pick up the lid assembly
by lifting on the handle to the detach-
able blower. Lift the lid assembly by the
latches. This will ensure that the
detachable blower and the lid will not
separate during removal of the lid
assembly.
2. Lay the lid assembly upside down on a
clean dry area while emptying the drum
or changing the filter.
3. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
Latch
4. If the contents are liquid, you may dis-
pose by using the drain provided in the
drum for easy emptying. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and allow the liq-
uid to drain completely out of the vac
drum.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
back injury or falls, do not lift a vac
i heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or
i drain enough contents out to make
the vac light enough to lift comfort-
ably.
