Vacuuming Liquids

WARNING: Be sure to read, understand and apply all the information in the
Important Safety Instructions section at the beginning of this operator's manual.
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-base 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: Before any Wet/Dry vac assembly or disassembly make sure that
the power cord is not plugged into a power outlet.

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 empty the liquid contents
into a suitable receptacle or drain.
After wet vacuuming, turn the machine
off and remove plug from power supply.
Empty the collection tank and clean
and dry the inside and outside before
storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be
removed after wet vacuuming and a
reusable cloth filter must be installed
before dry vacuuming again.
