Operation
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 mech-
anism will rise automatically to cut off
suction. 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.
When this happens, turn off the Vac,
unplug the power cord, and empty the
drum.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to avoid
possible mildew and damage to the
filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
Vac, do not run motor with float in raised
position.

Emptying the Dust Drum

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before emptying
the drum.
1. The Vac comes equipped with a drain
for easy emptying of liquids. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and tilt forward
slightly to empty the drum.
