Operation
(cont’d)
CLEAN-UP VACUUMING
Do not vacuum or blow burning or
toxic materials such as carcinogens,
asbestos, pesticides or heavy metals.
Wear eye protection and a dust mask
when operating or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
• Do not use without a clean filter in place. Using
the vacuum/blower with a clogged, damaged or
missing filter will cause damage to the motor.
• Do not vacuum up anything that is burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in
severe injury or death.
Wet Pickup
This unit is equipped with a shut-off float valve. When
the unit is used for wet pickup, the rising fluid lifts
the float valve until it seals against the motor intake.
When this happens, the sound of the motor changes
to a higher pitch. Unplug the unit, empty the tank, and
replace the cover.
Dry Pickup
For optional dry pickup accessories, refer to the
“Optional Equipment” at the end of the “Parts
List—690.”
Maintenance
Electric shock hazard:
Disconnect from power before
servicing.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Note: Keep filters clean. Efficiency of this vacuum is
largely dependent on the cleanliness of the filters. A
clogged filter can cause overheating and damage to the
motor. Filters should be removed and cleaned periodi-
cally to ensure proper operation. After cleaning, allow
filters to dry thoroughly to prevent deterioration.
Filters and Gaskets
