1. When picking up small amounts of liquid the Filter
may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of liquid, it is
recommended, that the Filter be removed. If the Filter
is not removed, it will become saturated and misting
may appear in the exhaust.
3. When picking up large amounts of liquid, it is
recommended that you remove the Vac from the
storage rack and place it on the floor. When full of
water the Vac will weigh approximately 40 pounds
and may be difficult to remove from the storage
rack. Always empty Vac immediately after picking up
liquids.
4. When the liquid in the Drum reaches a predetermined
level, the float mechanism will rise 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.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The Filter must always be in correct position to reduce
the risk of 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.
Dry the Filter before storing.
Vacuuming Liquids
WARNING:
Do not operate without filter cage and float, as
they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. For dry material pick-up, do not
operate without the filter in place to reduce the risk of
damage to the motor.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not vacuum
flammable or combustible liquids, gases or dust.

Emptying the Drum (Fig. Y)
1. With the Vacuum removed from the Storage Rack
(see Removing Vac from Storage Rack Section),
remove the Vac Motor Assembly from the Vac Drum
Assembly.
2. Lay Vac Motor Assembly upside down on a clean area
while emptying Vac Drum.
3. Dump the Vac Drum contents into the proper waste
disposal container.

5. After using the Vac to pick up liquids, the Filter must
be dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew and
damage to the Filter.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac
do not run Motor with Float in raised position.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift
a Vac heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or drain
enough contents out to make the Vac light enough to
lift comfortably.
