2.0 Care of your Wet/Dry Vac
For longer service life and safe use of your vacuum, we recommend the following
guidelines:
• Your vacuum is designed to pick up dirt and dust particles as well as water. Avoid
picking up hard or sharp objects with your vacuum to avoid filter breakage, clogging
or possible motor damage.
• Remove the plug from the socket before performing maintenance. Before using
the machine make sure that the frequency and voltage shown on the rating plate
correspond with the mains voltage.
• Treat your vacuum cleaner as you would any other high grade precision made product.
Dropping, unreasonable bumping across thresholds and other misuses may result
in a damaged unit which will not be covered under warranty. When not in use the
power cord should be wrapped around the handle for storage. After each use, wipe the
vacuum body, accessories and power cord with a slightly damp cloth.
2.1 Electrical Power
This electric equipment is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug. A
temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug into a 2-pole receptacle if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid
ear lug or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground,
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.

2.2 Grounding Instruction
DANGER: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING
PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord containing a
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This vacuum must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock. This machine is built with a
3-wire cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug (Figure 1) to
fit a properly grounded receptacle.
Before using this vacuum, make sure a properly grounded,
3-hole electrical outlet is available. If not available, as in some
older facilities, use an adapter for connecting a 3-prong plug
to a 2-prong receptacle (Figure 2) to ground the outlet chassis.
