To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and
1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach
into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
Cord Maintenance
When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or their
service agent or by similarly qualified
personnel to reduce the risk of accident.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be wrapped around the unit. The hose
may be stored by wrapping it around the
unit and plugging the open end into one
of the storage locations on the caddy
assembly. The Vac should be stored
indoors.
