WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before emptying
the drum.
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.
Emptying the Drum
!
!
Operation (continued)
WARNING:
Do not operate with
the float removed. It prevents liquid
from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
!
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 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,
allow the filter to dry to reduce the risk of
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.
Claw Nozzle -
Used for wet or dry
pickup.
Crevice Tool -
Use to pick up debris in
hard to reach locations.
Lighted Car Nozzle -
Dry pickup nozzle
for car interiors and most upholstery
cleaning is lighted for cleaning in dark
areas.
Dusting Brush -
Dry pickup of dust and
dirt debris.
Hose -
Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.
Extension Wands -
These handles can
be connected together and provides
additional length for more reach.
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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock, do not run Vac
unattended.
