Familiarize yourself with the accessories
included with the vac. Each accessory
may be used in various ways for
vacuuming and blowing debris. Here is a
list of the accessories and their uses.
Multi-Purpose Tool -
Dry pickup nozzle
for car interiors and most upholstery
cleaning.
Hose -
Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides the
means of attaching the multi-purpose tool.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to vac.
2. When using your vac to pick up very fine
dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain peak
vac performance.
NOTE:
A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. If you use your vac to pick up
dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you can
quickly dry the filter by running the vac
without hose attached for about
10 minutes. The clean air rushing
through the vac will help dry the filter.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of liquid
the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of liquid
we recommend that the filter be
removed. If the filter is not removed, it
will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off airflow. 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 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.

WARNING: Do not remove the filter
cage and float. The float prevents
water from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. The cage
prevents fingers from touching the
moving impeller.
