WARNING: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO A POWER OUTLET. MAKE SURE
THE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTERS.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Make sure that the collection tank is
clean and free of dust and dirt (Fig. 1).
2. Remove the cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and place
the power head back on the collection tank. For foam wet filter installation instructions, see page
18 (Fig. 2).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING
3. Insert the locking end of the hose into the vacuum port on the power head and lock into place
(Fig. 3).
4. Insert the other end of the hose into the remote control handle (Fig. 4).
5. Choose the desired accessory and insert onto the remote control handle or the stainless steel
telescopic wand (Fig. 5). The air flow regulation on the remote control handle allows you to
manually change the amount of vacuum suction.
6. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the power
outlet. Plug the power cord into the outlet (Fig. 6 & 7).
7. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position. Press the vacuum mode button,
indicated by the following symbol , on either the remote control handle or the power head
and operate the vacuum (Fig. 8).
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE REMOTE CONTROL IN LIQUIDS.
8. Once you have completed vacuuming, switch off the vacuum by pressing the vacuum mode
button on either the remote control handle or the power head. Switch to the “O” OFF position
and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
9. After use, empty the collection tank by unscrewing the drain cap. Drain liquids into a suitable
receptacle or drain (Fig. 9). Once the collection tank is cleaned and dried, refit the drain cap to
the collection tank.
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 collection tank 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. To continue vacuuming, replace the drainage
cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the
collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam wet filter must be removed after wet vacuuming and the cartridge filter
must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS FROM VAPORS OR DUST,
DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS.
