1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 1)
2. Remove cartridge lter, then carefully install the foam wet lter over the lter cage and place the
power head back on the collection tank. For lter installation instructions, see page 14.
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum hose. (Fig. 2)
4. Verify that the power switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the
outlet. (Fig. 3)
5. Turn the motor on by pressing the switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (Fig. 4)
6. Once you have completed vacuuming, press the power 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 and drain liquids into suitable
receptacle or drain. (Fig. 5) Remember to ret the drain cap to the tank.
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 inow. The machine is tted
with a oat 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 wet lter must be
removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge lter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
