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. Verify
that the collection tank is clean and
free of dust and dirt. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove cartridge fi lter and the dust
collection bag, then carefully install
the foam sleeve fi lter over the fi lter
cage and place the power head back
on the collection tank. (Fig. 2) See
fi lter installing instructions on page 11.
3. Fit the desired extension wands or
nozzle to the vacuum hose. (Fig. 3)
4. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF
position before plugging the power
cord into the outlet. (Fig. 4 & 5)
5. Turn the motor on by pressing the
switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (Fig. 6)
6. After use, fl ip the switch to the ‘O’ OFF
position and unplug the power cord
from the outlet. (Fig. 7 & 8)
7. Empty the collection tank into a
suitable receptacle or drain. (Fig. 9)
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 fi lter must be
removed after wet vacuuming and a
reusable cloth fi lter must be installed
before dry vacuuming again.
