OPERATION OF WET & DRY VACUUM

READ OPERATORS MANUAL THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE.

WET PICKUP

1. Remove vacuum head and remove the cloth or paper

lter from vacuum, install the bubble buster.

2. While vacuum head is removed, check to make sure that the

oat shut-off is unobstructed and fully functional.

3.  Replace vacuum head and latch it in place.
4.  Connect vacuum hose to inlet on the machine body.
5.  Attach appropriate accessory tool for the job to be completed.
6.  Plug power cord into a grounded outlet.

* Do not use an extension cord in conjunction with the standard power cord.

7. If using the front-mounted squeegee assembly, be sure that squeegee is attached to front of machine.
8. If using the front-mounted squeegee assembly, lower squeegee to the

oor by depressing the top half of the pedal (rear of the machine)

forward with your foot.

9. Turn power switch to “on” position.
10. During wet pickup, the

oat shut-off will automatically prevent water from entering the recovery tank once the recovery tank is full.

* If foam develops in the recovery tank during wet vacuuming, use de-foamer chemical to help eliminate the foam. Foam will not activate
the

oat shut-off, and therefore, may cause vacuum motor damage.

foot.

* Be sure that the handle is properly assembled on machine body prior to operating machine.
* This wet –dry vacuum includes the GV25014”bubble buster” blue nylon foam suppression bag. This bag must be used in all wet pick-
up applications. Failure to use the bag will void the warranty on the vacuum motor.
