Spillrite Drum Lid Vacuum with numbered components

Caution

Be sure both control valves (2 & 3) are in the off position before connecting air supply to valve (14). Lock lid to drum (15).

To start — connect air supply to universal coupling (14). Screw handle (4) — unwind up to the fully open position for vacuum-only operation.

Float valves (12) are to be attached to the black threaded tubes for wet operation.

Wet operation only

Close reverse valve to the down position (4). Turn valve (2) to start vacuum.

Float valves will rise as fluid rises in the drum, shutting off vacuum even if the air supply is still active.

Reverse operation only

Install the drop pipe into the lid. Connect the vac/pump hose to port (1). Close vacuum valve (2). Turn valve (3) to start reverse pump out.

Dry operation only

Connect the dry filter cartridge (13) to the lid using springs (10).

Vacuum — screw handle up, activate control (2).
Reverse filter clean — screw handle down, activate control (3).
