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-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. (fig. 1) Verify that the container is clean and free

of dust and dirt.

2. Remove cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam sleeve filter over the filter cage and place the

power head back on the container. (fig. 2) See filter installing instructions on 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. After use, empty the container by unscrewing the drain cap. Drain liquids into a suitable receptacle or drain.

Remember to refit the drain cap to the container after draining container. (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 container 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 container with the drain cap. After wet

vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the container, clean and dry the

inside and outside before storage.

REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be installed

before dry vacuuming again.
