DRY PICK-UP
NOTE:
1. 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. 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 vac 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 vac performance.
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. If the filter gets wet, replace it before continuing to
do dry pickups.
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.

WET PICK-UP
1. Remove reusable filter and replace it with foam filter when you do wet pickups.
2. This wet/dry vac 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 vac,
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.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce the risk of damage to the vac, do not run motor with float in raised position.
