Vacuuming Liquids
WARNING:
Be sure to read, understand and apply all the information in the
Important Safety Instructions section at the beginning of this operator's manual.
Do not vacuum in areas with fl ammable gases, vapors, or explosive dusts in the
air. Flammable gases or vapors include but are not limited to: lighter fl uid,
solvent type cleaners, oil-base paints, gasoline, alcohol or aerosol sprays.
Explosive dusts include but are not limited to: coal, magnesium, grain or gun
powder. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dust, do not
vacuum toxic materials.
WARNING:
Do not plug in power cord to power outlet, make sure plug is
disconnected before assembling the Wet/Dry Vac.
!
!
1. Verify that the power cord is
disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 2)
2. Remove reusable cloth fi lter, then
carefully install the foam sleeve fi lter
over the fi lter cage and place the
power head back on the collection
tank. (Fig. 3) See fi lter installing
instructions on page 12.
DO NOT USE THE REUSABLE CLOTH
FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum
hose. (Fig. 4)
4. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF
position before plugging the power
cord into the outlet. (Fig. 5)
5. Turn the motor on by fl ipping the
switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (Fig. 6)
6. After use, empty the collection tank,
clean and dry the inside and outside
before storage. (Fig. 7)
IMPORTANT!
When vacuuming large
quantities of liquids, do not immerse the
nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a
gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to
allow air infl ow. The machine is fi tted
with a fl oat valve that stops the suction
action when the collection tank reaches
its maximum capacity. You will notice an
increase in motor speed. When this
happens, turn off the machine, disconnect
from power supply, and drain the liquid
into a suitable receptacle or drain. After
wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and
remove plug from power supply. Empty
the collection tank, clean and dry the
inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be
removed after wet vacuuming and a
reusable cloth filter must be installed
before dry vacuuming again.
