Insert the power cord plug into a wall socket. You are now ready to use your vacuum cleaner.
Operation
WARNING : If the vacuum cleaner accidentally tips over, the shut-off float mechanism may cover
the joint and stop the suction. If this happens, simply stand the vacuum upright and turn it off until
the float returns to its normal position.
VACUUMING DRY MATERIALS
In order to ensure proper filtering when vacuuming dust and dry material the foam sleeve needs
removing and the cartridge filter needs to be put on in its place. The foam sleeve is only to be
used when vacuuming liquids.
NOTE: NEVER USE A VACUUM WITHOUT THE FILTER!
INSTALLATION AND CLEANING
Foam Sleeve – For use during wet applications
WARNING : Always ensure that the plug is disconnected from power source, the tool is switched
off before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures. Once the motor assembly is
upside down, slide the foam sleeve down over the cage. Keep sliding it down until it completely
covers the cage.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned regularly as described in the following steps:
1.
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before removing the motor assembly. Turn
the motor assembly over. Slide the foam sleeve toward the top of the cage to remove.
2.
Shake the foam sleeve up and down quickly.
3.
Submerge the foam sleeve in water for one or two minutes, then rinse it from the inside out.
Systematic cleaning with water is not necessary, it depends on the condition of the foam
sleeve.
4.
Gently wring out the water, wipe it with a clean cloth, and let it dry. The foam sleeve is now
ready to be reinstalled over the cage.
Cartridge Filter – For dry applications
Use the cartridge filter in position over the lid cage for most general dry material pick up.
1.
With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the cartridge filter down over the lid
cage, pushing until the filter seals against the cover.
2.
Place filter retainer into the top of the cartridge filter, hold the tank cover with one hand, turn
the handle on the filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place.
3.
To remove the filter for cleaning, again hold the tank cover and turn the filter retainer counter-
clockwise to loosen and remove, slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.
4.
To clean the cartridge filter shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter)
with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and reinstall. NOTE: If the filter has been
used for wet pick up, it must be cleaned and dried before using for dry pick up.
