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. It is not recommended
to vacuum dust when the filter is wet,
the filter will clog quickly and be difficult
to clean. Allow filter to dry before storing.
Note that the ALCI is a protective device
that may make the Vac temporarily
inoperable under some abnormal
conditions such as immersing of the base
of the Vac in water. Before any use of the
Vac involving wet pickup, or if the base
has previously been placed in standing
water or on a wet floor, the ALCI should
be tested as follows:
1. With the ALCI plugged in, press the
test button.
2. Reset button will pop up. If not, do not
use appliance.
3. Press reset button to restore power.
