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 ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VAC.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig. 1) Verify that the collection tank
is clean and free of dust and dirt.
2. Remove cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and place the
power head back on the collection tank. (fig. 2) For filter installation instructions, see page 11.
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum hose. (fig. 3)
4. Verify that the switch is in the 'O' OFF position before plugging the power cord into the outlet. (fig.
4)
5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the 'I' ON position. (fig. 5)
6. Once you have completed vacuuming, flip the switch to the 'O' OFF position and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
7. After use, empty the collection tank by unscrewing the drain cap. Drain liquids into a suitable
receptacle or drain. Remember to refit the drain cap to the collection tank. (fig. 6)
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. To continue
vacuuming, refit the collection tank with the drain cap. 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 cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
