OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING
1. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum cleaner hose. (fig. 3)
2. Verify that the switch is in the 'O' OFF position before plugging the power cord into
the power socket. (fig. 4)
3. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the 'I' ON position. (fig. 5)
4. After use, empty the tank by unscrewing the drain cap. Drain liquids into a suitable
receptacle or drain. Remember to refit the drain cap to the tank after draining tank.
(fig. 6)
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
noise.
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.
REMEMBER!
The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and the
HEPA filter must be reinstalled before dry vacuuming again.
