16 gallon wet/dry vac with detachable blower

Operation (continued)
4. When
the liquid
in the drum reaches
a
predetermined
level, the float mecha-
nism 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 dam-
age to the vac do not run motor with float
in raised position.
Emptying
Dust Drum
WARNING:
To reduce
the risk of
injury from
accidental
starting,
unplug
power
cord before
emptying
the drum.
1. To remove
the lid to empty
contents
of
the dust drum,
simply
lift the two drum
latches
at the front and rear of the dust
drum and lift the lid assembly
up and off
the dust drum and set to the side.
NOTE:
Do not pick up the lid assembly
by lifting on the handle
to the detach-
able blower.
Lift the lid assembly
by the
latches.
This will ensure
that the
detachable
blower
and the lid will not
separate
during
removal
of the lid
assembly.
2. Lay the lid assembly
upside
down on a
clean dry area while emptying
the drum
or changing
the filter.
3. Dump the drum contents
into the proper
waste
disposal
container.
Latch
4. If the contents are liquid, you may dis-
pose by using the drain provided in the
drum for easy emptying. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and allow the liq-
uid to drain completely out of the vac
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 comfort-
ably.
