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.
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.

FOR UNITS WITH BUILT - IN RECEPTACLE
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a built-in electrical socket which allows a power tool (circular saw, drill, sanding machine, etc...) to be
plugged directly into the cover assembly, and an automatic tool triggering feature for a clean work environment.
!WARNING! Do not plug any tool or appliance rated over the
maximum wattage for the receptacle as noted in the
chart
above into the electrical socket on the vacuum cleaner. Check nameplate of the tool for the wattage rating. To
reduce the risk of injury, tool must be turned (O) OFF before
placing switch in the (=) AUTO position. (NEVER LEAVE
THE UNIT RUNNING OR PLUGGED IN UNATTENDED).
The power switch is used to select the automatic tool triggering feature built into the vac. With the (–) ON position selected, the vac will simply run
continuously. When the (=) AUTO position is selected, the vac will automatically turn on and off when the power tool is turned on and off.
For the auto tool triggering feature to work, the power tool must draw a minimum of 60 Watts. The maximum wattage rating for the electrical
socket is rated in the chart above. Lift cover upward on the receptacle to access the socket. If the plug you are inserting does not match the socket
construction, do not attempt any modifications as this could cause a hazard and will void any warranty.
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Never attempt any service to the unit unless the power cord is disconnected from the power receptacle.
These units incorporate electrical components that can be replaced. It is recommended that repair or part replacement be performed by a skilled
technician. Only use original manufacturer recommended replacement parts. If the receptacle cover becomes detached, broken or damaged, or clear
boot over switch would be damaged or missing, discontinue operation and have the unit repaired.
