Vacuuming Liquids
,_k 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: Do not plug in power cord to power outlet, make sure plug is
disconnected before assembling the wet/dry vac.
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large
quantities of liquids, we recommend that
you remove the vacuum from the mounting
rack and put it on the floor. The vacuum
can be heavy when full of liquids and may
be difficult to remove from the rack.
1. Verify that the power cord is
disconnected from the outlet. Verify that
the container is clean and free of dust
and dirt. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove cartridge filter as shown in
Removing and Cleaning Cartridge Filter
on page 11. Then, install the foam
sleeve filter as shown in Installing Foam
Sleeve Filter on page 12 and secure
power head back on the collection tank.
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum
hose. (Fig. 2)
4. Verify that the switch is in the 'O' OFF
position before plugging the power cord
into the outlet. (Fig. 3)
5. For large amounts of liquid vacuuming,
it is recommended to place the vacuum
on the floor. Turn the unit on by placing
the power switch to the 'l' ON position.
For remote control use,place the power
switch to the "_ " Remote
Control position; then press the ON
button located on the remote control
handle for at least one second. (Fig. 4)
6. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine
off and remove plug from power supply.
Empty contents of collection tank. See
emptying instructions on page 11. To
prevent the risk of possible mildew,
clean and dry the inside and outside of
the collection tank, and remove the foam
filter and allow to air dry before storage.
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
tank reaches its maximum capacity.When
the tank has reached 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 into a suitable receptacle or drain.
To continue vacuuming, refit the power
head to the container. After wet vacuuming,
turn the machine off and remove plug from
power supply. To prevent the risk of
possible mildew, empty the container, clean
and dry the inside and outside of the
container, and remove the foam filter
andallow to air dry before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be
removed after wet vacuuming, and a
cartridge filter must be installed before
dry vacuuming again.
