LIQUID VACUUMING
WARNING: BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY INFORMATION
ENTITLED "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS". 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 THE POWER CORD INTO THE POWER OUTLET. MAKE
SURE THE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTERS.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Make sure that the collection tank is
clean and free of dust and dirt (Fig. 1).
2. Remove the reusable cloth filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and
place the power head back on the collection tank. For foam wet filter installation instructions,
see page 12 (Fig. 2).
DO NOT USE THE REUSABLE CLOTH FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING
3. Insert the locking end of the hose into the vacuum port on the collection tank and lock into place.
4. Push the required attachment onto the free end of the hose or extension wand (Fig. 3).
5. Verify that the switch is in the 'O' OFF position before plugging the power cord into the power
outlet. Plug the power cord into the outlet (Fig. 4 & 5).
6. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the 'I' ON position (Fig. 6).
7. Once you have completed vacuuming, flip the switch to the 'O' OFF position and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
8. 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 the reusable cloth
filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
