Vacuuming
Liquids
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.
1. Verify that the power cord is
disconnected
from the outlet. Verify
that the collection tank is clean and
free of dust and dirt. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove cartridge filter and the dust
collection bag, then carefully install
the foam sleeve filter over the filter
cage and place the power head back
on the collection tank. (Fig. 2) See
filter installing instructions on page 11.
3. Fit the desired extension wands or
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)
5. Turn the motor on by pressing the
switch to the 'l' ON position. (Fig. 6)
6. After use, flip the switch to the 'O' OFF
position and unplug the power cord
from the outlet. (Fig. 7 & 8)
7. Empty the collection tank into a
suitable receptacle or drain. (Fig. 9)
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 filter must be
removed after wet vacuuming and a
reusable cloth filter must be installed
before dry vacuuming again.
