WET PICK-UP
NOTE
A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your vacuum to pick up dust
when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. If the filter
gets wet, replace it before continuing to do dry pickups.
1. Remove disposable filter bag and reusable dry filter and replace it with foam filter
when you do wet pickups (See illustration).
2. This wet/dry vacuum 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 vacuum, 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.
The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible
damage to vac. Make sure that the filter is completely covering the filter cage and
that the clamp ring is as close to the lid as possible. Make sure there are no gaps
between the filter and the lid (See illustration). It is very important to assemble the
filter to the cage without allowing any possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will allow
the picked up debris to be blown out of the blowing port and back into the
surrounding environment.
2. When using your vacuum to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the
dust tank and clean or replace the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak
vacuum performance.

INSTALLING DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
1. Slide the cardboard collar opening firmly onto the vacuum port deflector until it
stops against the deflector wall.
2. Position the bag so that it is distributed around the inside of the tank.
3. Replace and secure the power head onto the tank.
IMPORTANT
1.To reduce the risk of damage to the vacuum, do not run motor with float in raised
position.
2.Wet pick up accessories should be washed periodically.
