Page: 8 / 34

ENGLISH
29. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around
the tank cover may occur if the foam sleeve 16 becomes
saturated during wet pick up. If this occurs, remove the
foam sleeve
16 and allow to dry, or replace with another
dry foam sleeve 16 .
30. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet
pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied.
When the tank is full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer
to “automatic suction shut off” in this manual. Raise the
hose
12
to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow
the “emptying liquid waste” section in this manual.
31. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry
pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the
underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the filters to
dry completely.
NOTE : WET PICK UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED
PERIODICALLY; ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY
ACCIDENTS. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM
SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
FOAM SLEEVE 16 INSTALLATION AND CLEANING:
32. With tank cover in an upside down position, slide foam
sleeve
16
down over lid cage pulling until foam sleeve
16 completely covers lid cage. Fig. 15 .
WARNING:
TO CLEAN THE FOAM
SLEEVE, DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE
WALL OUTLET. REMOVE THE TANK COVER
AND PLACE THE COVER IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN
POSITION. REMOVE FOAM SLEEVE BY SLIDING IT
UP AND OFF THE LID CAGE.
33. Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve 16 with a
rapid up and down movement.
34. Hold foam sleeve
16
under running water for a minute
or two, rinsing from the inside of the foam sleeve 16 .
A water wash is not always required, depending on the
condition of the foam sleeve
16 .
35. Check the foam sleeve
16
for tears. If any are found,
replace with a new foam sleeve
16
.
BLOWER FEATURE
36. The vacuum can be used as a powerful blower 3 .
Clear hose 12 of any obstructions. Insert machine hose
end with locking nut into blower port 3 and tighten
locking-nut. Fig. 16 . Do not over-tighten. Caution should
be used when using as a blower
3
due to the powerful
force of air when using certain attachments.
WARNING:
ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION TO PREVENT ROCKS OR DEBRIS
FROM BEING BLOWN OR RICOCHETING INTO THE
EYES OR FACE WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
37. Your wet/dry vacuum can be emptied of liquid waste
by removing the drain cap 10 . To empty, turn unit off
and remove plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the
drain cap
10 .and deposit the liquid waste contents in a
suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the drain
cap
10
.to its original position. To continue use, plug the
cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on. Use
side carry handles for lifting vac when draining tank into
drains that are located above floor level.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
38. The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction
shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the
level of the liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises
until it seats itself against a seal at the intake of the
motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the
motor will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and
the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn unit
off immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises
and shuts off suction will result in extensive damage to
the motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from
the tank as outlined in the previous section.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD
LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, TURN UNIT OFF AND PLACE
VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO
RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
