WET VACUUMING

WET VACUUMING
Foam Filter
IMPORTANT!
When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse
the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of
the nozzle opening to allow air inflow.
The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the
suction action when the container reaches its maximum
capacity. You will notice an increase in motor speed.
When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from
power supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle
or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the container with the
drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and
remove plug from power supply.
Empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside
before storage.
