Wet Pick-Up (Fig. H)
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.
3. Liquids may be emptied through the tank drain. To
empty, turn the Unit off and remove the plug from the
wall outlet. Remove the drain cap and deposit the liquid
waste conents in a suitable drain. After tank is empty,
return the drain cap to its original position. To continue
use, plug the cord into the wall outlet and turn the unit
on.
Blowing Operation
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles complying
with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3) when using
as a blower.
WARNING:
To avoid injury to bystanders, keep them
clear of blowing debris.
CAUTION:
Wear a dust mask if blowing creates dust
which might be inhaled.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of hearing loss, wear ear
protectors when using the vac/blower for extended
hours or when using it in a noisy area.
Your vac contains a blowing feature. It has the capability
to blow sawdust and other debris. It can be used to blow
dust and debris out of garages or off patios and driveways.
Follow the steps below to use your vac as a blower.
1. Locate blowing port on your vac.
2. Insert one end of the 2-1/2 in. x 7 ft. hose into the
blowing port.
