LIQUID VACUUMING
WARNING:
BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY INFORMATION, ENTITLED
‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS’. DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES,
VAPORS, OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT
ARE NOT LIMITED TO; LIGHTER FLUID, 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 POWER CORD INTO POWER OUTLET, MAKE SURE PLUG IS
DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VAC.
IMPORTANT!
When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, we recommend that you remove the vacuum
from the mounting rack and put it on the floor. The vacuum can be heavy when full of liquids and may be
difficult to remove from the rack.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Verify that the container is clean and free of
dust and dirt. (fig. 1)
2. Remove cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam sleeve filter over the filter cage and place the
power head back on the container. (fig. 2) See filter installing instructions on page 11.
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING
3. Fit the desired 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. For large amounts of liquid vacuuming, it is recommended to place the vacuum on the floor. Turn the
motor on by flipping the switch on the power head to the ‘I’ ON position or flip the switch to the Remote
Control Position and use the ‘I’ ON button on the remote control. (fig. 5 & 6)
6. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the risk of
possible mildew, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container, and remove the
foam filter and allow to air dry before storage.
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 inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve
that stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase
in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and empty the
liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the container. After
wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the risk of possible
mildew, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container, and remove the foam
filter and allow to air dry before storage.
REMEMBER!
The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be
installed before dry vacuuming again.
