MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Strainer
Your pump requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance beyond keeping it clean
and free of debris.
Cleaning
Before storing the pump, it should be
cleaned.
To clean the Pump Accessory, rinse out your
vac drum so that it is free of any debris.
Fill the drum 3/4 of the way full with clean
water and allow the pump to pump the
water out. For vacuums under 12-gallons,
perform this procedure twice. Remove the
remaining water from the drum; remove the
Pump Accessory from the drain and install
the supplied drain cap to the permanently
installed drain adapter.
To keep your pump looking its best, clean
the outside with a cloth dampened with
warm water and mild soap. Remove any
excess water or debris with a dry cloth.
Cord Storage
Wrap the cord up and use the attached
hook & loop strap to retain the cord.
Storing the Pump Accessory
When not in use, store your Pump
Accessory in a cool, dry location with the
cord wrapped up using the supplied hook
& loop cord wrap.
The original Wet/Dry Vac drain cap should
then be installed on the drain adapter that
has been permanently attached to the
drain of your Wet/Dry Vac.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug
power cord before cleaning strainer.
WARNING:
Extreme temperatures
can cause the motor seal to fail,
allowing water into the motor.
WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs and adjustment should
be performed by Independent
Service Centers, always using
Vacmaster replacement parts.
