easy flow drain. Twist drain cap until liquid starts to flow. Pull drain out keeping opening at the bottom. The further you pull out the
faster the liquid will flow. After the tank is empty, return the drain cap to its original position. To continue use, plug the cord into the
wall receptacle and turn the unit on. Use side carry handles for lifting vac when draining tank into drains that are located above
floor level.

AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT OFF

39. The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the level of the liquid rises in
the tank, 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 and the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn unit off
immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises and shuts off suction will result in extensive damage to the motor.
NOTE: FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, WHEN VACUUMING, REMOVE BLOWER
PORT COVER.
