LIMITED TO; LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASE PAINTS, GASOLINE,
ALCOHOL OR AEROSOL SPRAYS. EXPLOSIVE DUSTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO; COAL,

DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VAC
NOTE:
This vacuum comes equipped with a washable cartridge filter capable of being used for wet pick-up.
However, if the washable cartridge if full of dirt, it is better to remove it and use the supplied foam filter.
ALWAYS remove the collection bag prior to ANY wet pick-up. To clean the cartridge filter see page 10 for
cleaning filters.
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 the dust 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING
3. Fit the desired extension wands or 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)
5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (fig. 6)
6. After use, flip the switch to the ‘O’ OFF position and unplug the power cord from the outlet. (fig. 7 & 8)
7. Empty the container into a suitable receptacle or drain. (fig. 9)
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 power head. 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.
