LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
STORAGE
Before storing your vacuum cleaner, the tank should be emptied and cleaned. The power cord can be wound
around the housing of the unit for convenience. Accessories may be stored in the built-in tool storage provided on
the tank cover on rear of unit.
The cleaner should be stored indoors
.
NOTE:
IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND TURN
SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
The cleaner is equipped with an automatic shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the level of the liquid rises, an internal float rises
until it seats itself against a seal at the intake of the motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the motor will develop a higher than
normal pitch noise. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from the tank as outlined in the previous paragraph.
WARNING -
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION TO PREVENT ROCKS OR
DEBRIS FROM BEING BLOWN OR RICOCHETING INTO THE EYES OR FACE WHICH
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
BLOWER FEATURE
This vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use your unit as a blower insert hose end into blower port on rear
of unit. Clear hose of any obstructions before attaching to blower port. Caution should be used when using as a
blower due to the powerful force of air when using certain attachments.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
Your Wet/Dry vac may be emptied of liquid waste by removing the tank cover. To empty, stop the motor and remove the plug from the wall
receptacle. Remove the tank cover and deposit the liquid waste contents in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the cover to its
original position. To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and start the motor.
