LIQUID VACUUMING  

 

WARNING: 

BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY INFORMATION, ENTITLED ‘SAFETY 

INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS’.  DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES, VAPORS, 
OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR.  FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT 
LIMITED TO; LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASE PAINTS, GASOLINE, 
ALCOHOL OR AEROSOL SPRAYS.  EXPLOSIVE DUSTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO; 
COAL, MAGNESIUM, GRAIN OR GUN POWDER.  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS 
FROM VAPORS OR DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS. 

 

WARNING

:  DO NOT PLUG IN POWER CORD TO POWER OUTLET, MAKE SURE PLUG IS 

DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VAC 

 

1.  Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Verify that the container is clean and free of  
     dust and dirt.  (fig. 1) 
2.  Remove cartridge filter and collection bag, then carefully install the foam sleeve filter over the filter cage 

and place the power head back on the container.  (fig. 2)  See filter installing instructions on page 10. 

 

DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING. 
DO NOT USE COLLECTION BAG FOR LIQUID VACUUMING. 

 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING 

3.  Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum hose.  (fig. 3)  
4.  Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the outlet.   (fig. 4)  
5.  Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.  (fig. 5) 
6.  After use, empty the container by unscrewing the drain cap.  Drain liquids into a suitable receptacle or 

drain. Remember to refit the drain cap to the container after draining container.  (fig. 6)

 

 

IMPORTANT!

  When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the 

liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve 
that stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase 
in motor speed.  When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and drain the 
liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain.  To continue vacuuming, refit the container with the drain cap. After 
wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply.  Empty the container, clean and 
dry the inside and outside before storage. 

 

REMEMBER!

 

The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be 

installed before dry vacuuming again.
