Operation (continued) Vacuuming Liquids Emptying the Drum filter cage and float, as they prevent _liquiWd AfrRomNINeGnt:eriDngo nthoet oimpeprealtleer wainthdout damaging the motor. 1. When picking up small amounts of liquid the filter may be left in place. 2. When picking up large amounts of liquid we recommend that the filter be removed. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust. 3. After using the Vac to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew and damage to the filter. 4. When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off air-flow. When this happens, turn off the Vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. 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. IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac do not run motor with float in raised position. 1. Remove the power assembly. Push down and pull out the flexible locking tabs to release from drum. 2. While holding the locking tabs out, lift the power assembly up and away from the drum. 3. Lay power assembly upside down on a clean area while emptying the drum. 4. Dump the drum contents into the proper waste disposal container. 5. The Vac 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. 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.

Vacuuming
Liquids
_
WARNING:
Do not operate
without

3. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to reduce the
risk of possible
mildew and damage
to the filter.
4. When the liquid in the drum
reaches
a predetermined
level, the float
mechanism
will rise automatically
to cut
off air-flow. When this happens,
turn off
the Vac, unplug the power cord, and
empty the drum. 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.
IMPORTANT:
To reduce the risk of
damage
to the Vac do not run motor with
float in raised position.
