2. Wash collection tank thoroughly with
warm water and mild soap.

Storage

Before storing your Vac, the collection tank
should be emptied and cleaned. The cord
should be wrapped around the unit and the
hose should be stored as described in this
manual. Accessories should be kept in the
same area as the Vac so they can be
readily available. The Vac should be stored
indoors.
