ALWAYS USE THE
CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the cartridge filter,
the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on hand.
NOTICE!
The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust
particles. The cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter is necessary
to pick up dust. If the cartridge filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be difficult to clean. Handle the
filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or replacing. Check the filters for tears or small holes.
A small hole can let dust pass through and out of the filter. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in
it; replace it immediately.
STORAGE
Before storing your vacuum, the collection tank should be emptied and cleaned. The accessories
should be cleaned and stored so they can be readily available when needed. Store the wet/dry
vacuum indoors.
REPAIRS
Repairs for this wet/dry vacuum should be performed only by qualified service personnel using
