WET PICK-UP
The cartridge filter must be positioned over the filter cage while
vacuuming liquids. When picking up several tanks full of liquid,
the cartridge filter will become saturated and misting may appear
in the exhaust air. At this time, you should dry or replace the
cartridge filter to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of
liquid around the lid. After completing a wet pick-up job, raise the
hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank before shutting off.
The interior of tank should be periodically cleaned.
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before removing
the power head. Place power head in an upside down position.
Remove cartridge filter by sliding it up and off the filter cage.
2. Shake excess dust off cartridge filter with a rapid up and down
movement.
NOTE: WET PICK-UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED
PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET,
STICKY KITCHEN ACCIDENTS.
THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM SOLUTION
OF SOAP AND WATER.
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.
Float in raised position
NOTE:IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM
COULD CLOSED SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, PLACE VAC
IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND TURN SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION,
AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
EMPTY THE TANK
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug
power cord before emptying the dust tank.
1. Remove the power head assembly of the wet/dry vac by
pulling outward on the lid clips located on each side of the vac.
Lift off the power head assembly.
2. Dump the tank contents into the proper waste disposal
container.
