Operation (continued)
Vacuuming Liquids
1. Verify that the power cord is
disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove cartridge filter as shown in
Removing and Cleaning Cartridge Filter
on page 10. Then install the foam
sleeve filter as shown in Installing Foam
Sleeve Filter on page 12 and secure
power head back on the collection tank.
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum
hose. (Fig. 2)
4. Verify that the power switch is in the ‘O’
OFF position before plugging the power
cord into the outlet. (Fig. 3)
5. Turn the motor on by pressing the
switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (Fig. 4)
6. Once you have completed vacuuming,
press the power switch to the 'O' (OFF)
position and unplug the power cord
from the outlet.
7. After use, empty the collection tank by
unscrewing the drain cap and drain
liquids into suitable receptacle or drain.
(Fig. 5) Remember to refit the drain
cap to the tank after draining.
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 into
a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue
vacuuming, refit the collection tank with the
drain 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 filter must be
removed after wet vacuuming, and a
cartridge filter must be installed before
dry vacuuming again.
