AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with an automatic
shutoff that operates when picking up liquids. When the
liquid in the tank reaches a certain level, an internal
float will seat itself against a seal at the intake of the
motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the
motor will develop a higher than normal pitch noise
indicating that you need to shut off the vacuum and
empty the liquid.
NOTE: If accidentally tipped over, the float
shutoff device could seat against the seal and
shut off suction. If this happens, simply place
the vacuum cleaner in upright position and
turn off the switch until the float returns to its
normal position.
EMPTYING THE TANK
CAUTION: Use special care when emptying
heavily loaded tanks.
The wet/dry vacuum may be emptied of liquid waste
by removing the tank cover. To empty, switch off the
vacuum and remove the plug from the wall receptacle.
Remove the tank cover and empty the tank.
NOTE: Tank can also be emptied by removing
drain cap and draining liquid waste into a
suitable drain.
