OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WET PICK-UP
This cleaner requires only a minimum of conversion when going from dry to wet pick-up. Remove
ALL dry pick-up filters. The cartridge filter must be positioned over the filter cage while vacuuming
liquids. When picking up several tanks full of liquid, the cartridge filter will become saturated and
misting may appear in the exhaust air. At this time, you should dry or replace the cartridge filter to
eliminate the misting and possible dripping of liquid around the lid. After completing a wet pick-up
job, raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank before shutting off. The interior of the
tank should be periodically cleaned.
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the power head. Place
power head in an upside down position. Remove cartridge filter by sliding it up and off the
filter cage.
2. Shake excess dust off cartridge filter with a rapid up and down movement.
NOTE:WET PICK-UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED PERIODICALLY,
ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET,STICKY KITCHEN ACCIDENTS. THIS CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
3. 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.
NOTE:IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD CLOSED SUCTION. IF
THIS OCCURS, PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND TURN SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
