IQUID VACUUM OPERATION

1.  Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the power socket.  Verify that the 
     tank is clean and free of dust and dirt.  (fig. 1)
2.  Remove all filters and dispose of properly.
3.  Rinse out the inside of tank to remove any loose debris and dispose of liquid in 
     suitable container.
4.  Then carefully install the foam sleeve filter over the filter cage and place the power 
      head back on the tank. (fig. 2) See filter installing instructions on page 10. 

DO NOT USE THE HEPA FILTER FOR 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 SOCKET, MAKE SURE

  PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET AND DRY VACUUM 
  CLEANER.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING

1.  Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum cleaner hose.  (fig. 3) 
2.  Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into 
     the power socket. (fig. 4) 
3.  Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (fig. 5)
4.  After use, empty the tank by unscrewing the drain cap. Drain liquids into a suitable 
     receptacle or drain. Remember to refit the drain cap to the tank after draining tank.
     (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 
noise.
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 the 

HEPA filter must be reinstalled before dry vacuuming again. 

LIQUID VACUUMING 

 WARNING:

IF FILTERS ARE CONTAMINATED OR HAVE BEEN USED, THEY 

  MUST BE DISPOSED OF PROPERLY, PRIOR TO PERFORMING WET VACUUMING 
  OPERATIONS.
