LIQUID VACUUMING
WARNING:
BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY, INFORMATION
ENTITLED 'SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS'. DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH
FLAMMABLE GASES, VAPORS, OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE
GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT
TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASED PAINTS, GASOLINE, ALCOHOL, OR AEROSOL SPRAYS.
EXPLOSIVE DUSTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: COAL, MAGNESIUM, GRAIN,
OR GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS FROM VAPORS OR
DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS.
WARNING:
DO NOT PLUG POWER CORD INTO POWER OUTLET. MAKE SURE PLUG
IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTERS.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig. 2)
2. Remove reusable cloth filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and
place the power head back on the collection tank. (fig. 3) For filter installation instructions, see
page 12.
DO NOT USE THE REUSABLE CLOTH FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum hose. (fig. 4)
4. Verify that the switch is in the 'O' OFF position before plugging the power cord into the outlet. (fig.
5)
5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the 'I' ON position. (fig. 6)
6. After use, empty the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage. (fig. 7)
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 collection tank 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. After wet
vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the collection tank,
clean and dry the inside and outside before storage. REMEMBER! The foam wet filter must be
removed after wet vacuuming, and a reusable cloth filter must be installed before dry vacuuming
again.
