DANGER
–
This equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the
like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an explosion. Do not pick up flammable,
combustible, or hot materials. Do not use around explosive liquids or vapors, as electrical devices
produce arcs or sparks which can cause a fire or explosion - do not use at filling stations or
anywhere gasoline is stored or dispensed.

FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
FILTRATION SYSTEM
There are a variety of filters available for your vacuum. There are cage filters that install onto the underside
of the tank cover and tank filters that install into the tank. The filters are grouped into three filtration
categories. General filtration is used for large debris; such as, wood chips, nails and gravel. Medium
filtration is used for medium debris; such as, dirt, sand and sawdust. Fine filtration is used for fine debris;
such as drywall dust, cold ash and cement dust. It is important to have the correct filters installed for your
cleaning operation to protect your vacuum motor. THE MOST EFFICIENT FILTRATION FOR YOUR VACUUM IS A
FINE FILTRATION CAGE FILTER WITH A FINE FILTRATION TANK FILTER.
NOTE:
When using the vacuum to pick up very fine dust. It will be necessary to empty the tank and clean
the cage filter at more frequent intervals to maintain maximum pick up power or add a disposable filter bag.
DRY PICK UP OPERATION
NOTE:
Never use the vacuum for dry pick up without a dry use filter installed. Using the vacuum without a
filter will cause dust to discharge from the blower port and cause damage to the motor.
WARNING
–
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET
BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK COVER.
