3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float mechanism
will rise automatically to cut off air-flow.
You will know that the float has risen
because vac airflow ceases and the
motor noise will become higher in pitch,
due to increased motor speed. When this
happens, turn off the vac, unplug the
power cord, and empty the drum.
4. After using the vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to avoid possible
mildew and damage to the filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the vac
do not run motor with float in raised position.
WARNING; To reduce the risk of fire
or electric shock. Do not run vac
unattended.
2. Another option is to remove the power
assembly. Pull the flexible latches out­
ward on each side of the lid to release
from the drum.
3. While holding the latches out, lift the
power assembly up and away from the
drum.
4. Lay power assembly upside down on a
clean area while emptying drum.
5. Dump the drum contents into the proper
waste disposal container.
Emptying the Drum
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury
from accidental starting, unplug power
cord before emptying the drum.
1. The vac comes equipped with a drain
for easy emptying of liquids. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and lift the oppo­
site side slightly to empty the drum.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
back injury or falls, do not lift a vac
heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop
or drain enough contents out to
make the vac light enough to lift
comfortably.
Moving the Vac
1. Should it become necessary to pick the
vac up to move it, DO NOT pick the vac
up by the lid handles unless dust drum
is empty. To avoid dropping the vac due
to latches releasing or possible part
breakage, pick the vac up by the lip of
the dust drum.
