Operation (continued)
Vacuuming Liquids
IMPORTANT:
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (5-10 cm (2-4 inches) of liquid in
the bottom of the drum) the Filter may
be left in place.
2. When picking up larger amounts of
liquid (more than 10 cm (4 inches)
of liquid in the bottom of the drum)
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 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.
4. 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.
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.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle
for most vacuuming applications.
Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on
smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry
the surface in one stroke.
Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle for car
interiors and most upholstery cleaning.
Crevice Tool - Use to pick up debris in
hard to reach locations.
Extension Wands - These wands can
be connected together and provides
additional length for more reach.
Pro-Hose - Provides transfer of
vacuum or blowing capability to work
site. Provides the means of attaching
extension wands and nozzles. Locking
Hose 48mm (1-7/8”) x 2.4m (8’) - Fits
2-1/2” Accessories.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The Filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks
and possible damage to Vac.
2. Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the
VF5000 Filter installed. 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. Allow Filter to dry out before
storing.
WARNING:
Do not operate without filter cage
and float, as they prevent liquid from
entering the impeller and damaging
the motor.
