ATTENTION: To prevent vacuum motor damage,
automatic float shut-off screen must be in place.
DRY VACUUMING
1. Open vacuum machine cover and install cloth filter
bag, make sure that the bag edge is properly
seated on compartment rim (Figure 11).
For easy debris disposal and to prolong cloth bag
life, use a paper vacuum bag inside the cloth bag.
Tuck the top of paper bag around outside rim of
cloth bag. Never use paper bag without cloth filter
bag in place. Do not reuse paper bags -- always
dispose (Figure 11).
FIG. 11
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine without
bag and/or filter in place.
2. Close cover and fasten latches.
3. Leave automatic float--off screen in place when
dry vacuuming. It can provide limited vacuum
motor protection for a faulty bag.
MACHINE OPERATION
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine unless
operator manual is read and understood.
Perform MACHINE SETUP instructions before operating
machine.
WARNING: Flammable materials or reactive
metals can cause an explosion or fire. Do not pick
up.
OPERATING ACCESSORY TOOLS
1. Connect 3m (10 ft) vacuum hose to machine cover
snout.
2. Select desired accessory tool and connect to
vacuum hose (Figure 12).
FIG. 12
3. Activate ON/OFF switch and operate accessory
tool as normal.
4. During DRY vacuuming, check bag periodically for
fullness. For best suction performance, empty bag
at 3/4 full.
During WET vacuuming, the float shut-off screen
will automatically stop water intake when recovery
tank becomes full (See DRAINING RECOVERY
TANK).
ATTENTION: If foam develops in recovery tank
during wet vacuuming, use a quality defoamer
chemical to eliminate the foam. Foam buildup will
NOT activate float, and will cause damage to the
vacuum motor. Damage due to foam is NOT
covered by warranty.
OPERATING SQUEEGEE KIT OPTION
1. Lower squeegee to floor, lightly kick the pedal
forward to release from transport position
(Figure 13).
