properly installed. Remove filter before all wet
pick-up operations.

Float cage
3. Turn on the vacuum and begin pick-up.
4. Turn off the vacuum immediately upon completing
a wet pick-up job or when tank is full and ready to
be emptied.
NOTE:
If suction shuts off, turn off the vacuum im
-
mediately and empty the tank.
5. Remove the battery pack.
6. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the
tank.
7. Remove motor housing and pour liquid waste into
a suitable drain.
8. Clean the interior of the tank and pick-up acces-
sories periodically, more often when used to pick
up wet, sticky materials. Use warm, soapy water.
Automatic Suction Shut-Off
When picking up liquids, 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 off
the vacuum immediately. Failure to turn off unit 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.
NOTE:
If the vacuum is accidentally tipped over, it
could lose suction. Turn off the vacuum and return
it to an upright position. The float will return to its
normal position.
Storage
Before storing your vacuum, empty and clean the
tank, filter, and accessories. Remove the battery
pack.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING
