EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE
FROM THE TANK
Your wet/dry vacuum may be emptied of liquid waste by removing the tank cover. To empty, stop the motor. If the vacuum is plugged into an outlet, remove the plug from the outlet. Remove the
tank cover and deposit the liquid waste contents in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the cover to its original position. To continue use, start the motor.
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 paragraph.
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.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
STORAGE
Before storing your vacuum cleaner the tank should be emptied and cleaned.
The cleaner should be stored indoors.
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
WET PICK UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conversion when going from dry to wet pick up. Wet pick up requires the foam sleeve
(not standard
with all models)
to be in position over the lid cage. Misting in exhaust air may occur if the foam sleeve becomes saturated during wet pick up. If misting occurs, remove foam sleeve and allow
to dry or, replace with another foam sleeve to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of liquid around the lid. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank
is full and ready to be emptied. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interior of the tank should be periodically cleaned.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
1. Always turn unit off and disconnect from charger or vehicle outlet before removing the tank cover. Place tank cover in an upside down position. Remove foam sleeve by sliding it up and off
the lid cage.
2. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the foam sleeve.
4. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The foam sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
NOTE:
WET PICK UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY KITCHEN ACCIDENTS. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM
SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
