Float/Cage Assembly
WARNING: For your own safety,
never connect plug to power source
outlet until all assembly steps are
complete and you have read and
understood the safety and operation
instructions. Do not operate vac
with any parts damaged or missing.
1. Place the power assembly of vac
upside down into the drum or on a
clean smooth surface.
2. Locate the float. Place the float over the
opening in the center of the lid with the
words "This Side Towards Lid" laying
face down over the hole.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury
or damage to vac be sure to keep
hands, fingers, or any other foreign
objects out of the center opening
when assembling the float.
3. Line up filter cage tabs with the slots in
the center ring of the lid assembly.
4, Push on the filter cage until the tabs
snap into the slots for a secure fit.
NOTE: If filter cage needs to be removed,
because the float is placed in the wrong
way, use a slotted screwdriver and insert
the blade near one of the tabs between
the filter cage and the center ring of the
lid. Pry the tab out of the slot. Tilt the cage
and lift away from the lid. To replace, fol-
low float/cage assembly instructions.
