ENGLISH
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
56. Your wet/dry vacuum can be emptied of liquid waste by
removing the drain cap 10 . To empty, turn unit off and
remove plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the drain
cap and deposit the liquid waste contents in a suitable
drain. After the tank is empty, return the drain cap to
its original position. To continue use, plug the cord into
the wall receptacle and turn the unit on. Use side carry
handles for lifting vac when draining tank into drains
that are located above floor level.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
57. The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction
shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the
level of the liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises
until it seats 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 and
the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn unit
off immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises
and shuts off suction will result in extensive damage to
the motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from
the tank as outlined in the previous section.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD
LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, TURN UNIT OFF AND PLACE
VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO
RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
LUBRICATION
58. No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with
lifetime lubricated bearings.
TOOL STORAGE
59. Set tank cover onto the tank. Position back of tank facing
you.
60. Take tool holder 18 and slide over notches located on
