Extension cord
instructions
Use an outdoor, grounding type,
SJT extension cord of 16 gauge (up
to 35 feet) or 14 gauge (any length).
The extension cord must employ a
3-prong grounding type plug and a
3-pole receptacle that accepts the
machine plug.
Adapter
(Included with some models)
To use smaller diameter tools with
the 21/2-inch diameter hose, attach
the adapter (A) to hose. Attach tool
to adapter.
Twist adapter and tool to tighten or
loosen connection.
Separate wet/dry
tanks
This feature allows you to change
from wet pick-up to dry pick-up
without having to empty the tank or
change filters. Dry debris will
collect in the inner tank and wet
debris will collect in the outer tank.
Wear ear protection if operating
cleaner for a prolonged period
of time.
Make sure that the small foam
and cartridge filters are in place.
Dry pick-up
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
With hose removed from cleaner,
slide wet/dry selector (A) to expose
“Dry tank inlet” (B). Selector will
snap into place. Insert hose into
“Dry tank inlet”.
Attach the desired tool to hose end.
Make sure cleaner lid is locked in
place.
Plug power cord into a
properly
grounded outlet
and turn cleaner
ON.
Wet pick-up
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
With hose removed from cleaner, slide
wet/dry selector (A) to expose “Wet
tank inlet” (C). Selector will snap into
place. Insert hose into “Wet tank
inlet”.
Attach desired tool (with squeegee if
available) to hose end.
Make sure cleaner lid is locked in
place.
Plug power cord into a
properly
grounded outlet
and turn cleaner
ON.
Do not use cleaner as a pump to
clean out clogged drains, sinks, or
other plumbing fixtures.
If cleaner will not pick up, check
filters. They may need to be
cleaned or replaced (see
“Maintenance” section).
Single tank operation
For picking up very large amounts
of debris (either wet or dry), the
cleaner may also be operated
without the inner tank in place.
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
Remove inner tank and set aside.
Attach hose to either the wet or dry
intake port. Plug power cord into a
properly grounded outlet
and turn
cleaner on.
When using single tank for dry
pick-up, cartridge filter must be
in place.
For best results, when using
single tank for wet pick-up, use a
HOOVER® foam filter sleeve
instead of the cartridge filter.
See
“Filters” in the Maintenance section
for availability of HOOVER® filters.
Automatic wet
shut-off
When either tank is full of liquid, the
automatic shut-off mechanism will
shut off cleaner pick-up. When this
happens, the motor sound will
become noticeably higher in pitch.
Turn cleaner off and empty tank to
continue use.
The automatic shut-off will also
engage if the cleaner has been
tipped over. To continue use, turn
cleaner off, and set it upright. Wait
a few seconds to allow the motor to
come to a complete stop.
The automatic shut-off will
function for both separate wet/dry
tank and single tank operation.
