Warranty Information
This limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for three years from the date of purchase.
Operating the Vac:
Dry Vacuuming: Ensure the filter is correctly installed. For fine dust, empty the drum and clean the filter more frequently. A dry filter is essential for dry material pickup.
Wet Vacuuming: The filter cage and float must be in place to prevent liquid from damaging the motor. For large amounts of liquid, it's recommended to remove the filter. The float will automatically shut off suction when the drum is full.
Blowing Feature: Locate the blowing port, attach the hose, and turn the vac on. Safety eyewear and hearing protection are recommended.
Emptying the Drum: Remove the powerhead assembly, invert the drum, and discard contents. If equipped with a drain, unscrew the cap and lift to empty.
