CAUTION: 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 use to pick up flammable,
combustible or hot materials. Do not use
around explosive liquids or vapors. Do not use
at filling stations or anywhere gasoline is stored
or dispensed.
CAUTION: Keep filter cartridge clean. Wash
whenever suction loss occurs. Replace
promptly any cartridges that are damaged.
• Inspect the filter cartridge. Replace any
missing or damaged cartridges. Using the
unit with missing or damaged cartridges will
reduce the life of the vacuum motor.
• Check that all bolts are in place and tight.
• Check all electrical connections for
loose fittings, broken insulation and other
hazardous conditions.
CAUTION: Use vacuum cleaner only with steel
drums.
MOTOR
Motor must be connected to a proper and effective
ground and must not be used in an area where volatile
or flammable materials are present.
WARNING: Sparking that occurs during the
normal operation of the motor could ignite
vapors and cause an explosion.
FILTER
The filter is composed of an exclusive polyester fiber
that is designed to filter a wide range of materials
while offering low maintenance and product durability.
During normal use, the filter should be cleaned as
needed. The service life of filter can be extended
through periodic cleaning. Shake loose dirt off the
element. Compressed air can be used to loosen more
stubborn particles; however, excessively high pressure
can damage the filter.
The polyester filter can be washed using a mild
detergent and water. Brushes, especially wire brushes,
should not be used because they will permanently
damage the polyester media. The entire filter can be
removed from the vacuum. Soak it in cleaning solution,
rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

OPERATION
WARNING: Motor must not be operated above
the designed voltage that appears on the
nameplate. Over voltage conditions may
cause excessive motor speed that can lead to
electrical shock or severe injury to the operator.
WARNING: Any attempt to disassemble or
tamper with the motors could create an
electrical shock hazard.
VACUUM
Place vacuum head on a steel 55-gallon drum.
Connect electrical cord to adequate power supply.
Connect vacuum hose to inlet and switch motor switch
to the ON position.
Leave the filter in place when vacuuming liquids. If
planning to fill the drum to capacity with liquid, the
filter should be removed. Failure to remove the filter
may result in malfunction of the float disc and cause
overfilling of the drum and damage to the vacuum
motor.
CAUTION: The vacuum should be used on level
ground when picking up liquids; failure to do
so may result in malfunction of the float disc
and cause overfilling of the drum.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Cleaning a filter does not return it to "like
new" condition.
The filter is held in place by a 3/8" nut and rubberized
washer. To remove the filter, remove the nut and washer
and pull off the filter. When putting the new filter in
place, tighten until the gasket is compressed.
If the black gasket end of the filter is worn, the filter will
not seal properly in the housing. This will allow dust to
bypass the filter and damage the vacuum's motor. If the
black gasket end of the filter is worn, the filter should be
replaced.
