OPERATION (Continued)
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vacuum.
2. Your Wet/Dry Vacuum comes with the
Wet Filter installed. When using your
Vacuum to pick up very fine dust, it will
be necessary for you to change the dry
filter and empty the drum and clean
the filter at more frequent intervals to
maintain peak vacuum performance.
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. Use the wet filter when picking
up wet material.
NOTE: When picking up very small
amounts of water, the Fine Dust Filter
may be left in place.
1.When picking up large amounts of
liquid, the Fine Dust Filter should be
removed and the mesh, Wet Filter
(107177) should be installed. If the Fine
Dust Filter is not removed, water could
enter the motor housing which could
overload and damage the motor. If the
mesh, wet filter is not installed, small
debris or soap suds may also enter the
motor housing and cause damage to the
motor.
2.The float mechanism activates to
prevent water from entering the motor
housing. When the liquid in the tank
reaches a predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off airflow. When this happens, turn
off the Vacuum, unplug the power cord
and empty the tank. You will know that
the float has risen because the Vacuum
airflow ceases and the motor noise will
become higher in pitch, due to increased
motor speed.

EMPTYING THE DRUM
1. The Vacuum comes equipped with
a drain for easy emptying of liquids.
Simply unscrew the drain cap and lift
the opposite side slightly to empty the
drum.
2. Another option is to remove the
powerhead assembly.
3. Lay powerhead assembly aside on a
clean area while emptying drum.
4. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
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
Vacuum heavy with liquid or debris.
Scoop or drain enough contents out
to make the Vacuum light enough
to lift comfortably.
Should it become necessary to pick the
Vacuum up to move it, the handle on the
sides of the dust drum are used to lift.
To maneuver the Vacuum, the push/pull
handle in the rear of the unit should be
used.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vacuum, do not run
the motor with the float in the raised
position.
3. After using the Vacuum, follow the
filter maintenance instructions found on
page 12 to reduce the risk of possible
mildew and damage to the filter.
