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. For large amounts of liquid vacuuming, it is recommended to place the vacuum on the floor. Turn the
motor on by flipping the switch on the power head to the ‘I’ ON position or flip the switch to the Remote
Control Position and use the ‘I’ ON button on the remote control. (fig. 5 & 6)
6. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the risk of
possible mildew, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container, and remove the
foam filter and allow to air dry before storage.
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 empty the
liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the container. After
wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the risk of possible
mildew, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container, and remove the foam
filter and allow to air dry before storage.
REMEMBER!
The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be
installed before dry vacuuming again.
This Wet/Dry Vac has blowing capabilities. To use the blower feature follow the instructions listed.
