Operation

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 pick up flammable,

combustible, or hot materials. Do not use

around explosive liquids or vapors, as

electrical devices produce arcs or sparks

NEVER OPERATE

UNATTENDED!

Keep Filters Clean

The efficiency of these vacuum cleaners is

largely dependent on the filter.

A clogged filter can cause overheating and

possibly damage the vacuum cleaner.

Clean or replace filters regularly. Do not use the

vacuum or filters for collecting hazardous or

other health endangering materials.

NOTE: Never machine wash or dry filters.

DRY PICK UP OPERATION

NOTE: If foam sleeve (Not standard with all

models) is in position over lid cage, it does not

need to be removed before installing cartridge.

Foam must be positioned on the INSIDE of

groove around lid cage for cartridge to fit

properly.

The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry

pick up; installation is the same for both. When

picking up large quantities of liquid please refer

to the Wet Pick up Operation section in this

manual. Use the cartridge filter in position over

the lid cage for most general dry material pick

up. Make sure inlet deflector is fully inserted

into deflector guide on inside of tank. If it is not,

install inlet deflector by sliding it downward into

slot on deflector guide (Figure 8). NOTE: Hose

must be removed before inlet deflector can be

inserted into or removed from deflector guide.

Opening on inlet deflector can face either side

of tank. Inlet deflector should always be in place

for any type of cleaning. With the tank cover

in an upside down position, slide the cartridge

filter down over the lid cage, pushing until the

filter seals against the cover (Figure 9). Place

filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter,

hold the tank cover with one hand, turn the

handle on the filter retainer clockwise to tighten,

locking the filter into place (Figures 10 & 11).

To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the

tank cover and turn the filter retainer counter-

clockwise to loosen and remove, slide the

cartridge filter off the lid cage (Figures 12 &

13). To clean the cartridge filter shake or brush

off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the

filter) with water, dry completely (approximately

24 hours) and re-install (Figures 14 & 15).

NOTE: If the filter has been used for wet pick

up, it must be cleaned and dried before using

for dry pick up.

NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick up very

fine dust such as sawdust or dry wall dust,

it will be necessary to empty the tank and

clean the filter at more frequent intervals to

maintain maximum pick up power or upgrade

to collection filter bags.

INSTALLING COLLECTION FILTER BAG

(Not standard on all models)

1. Use for dry pick up only. Use in

conjunction with cartridge filter for picking

up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust.

2. With cord disconnected from receptacle,

pull latches in an outward motion and

remove tank cover.

3. Unscrew hose locking-nut and remove

hose from inlet (Figure 16).

4. Remove inlet deflector from deflector

guide (Figure 17).

NOTE: Hose must be removed before inlet

deflector can be taken out.

5. With the opening of the inlet deflector

facing the left or right side of the filter

bag, slide filter bag collar over deflector

matching notches of bag collar to tabs on

inlet deflector, bag will only fit properly one

way (Figure 18).

6. Slide deflector with collection bag

attached into deflector guide (Figure 19).

7. Reinsert hose into inlet and tighten

locking-nut (Figure 20).

8. When secured in place, expand bag and

position around the inside of the tank.
