GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (USA, Canada)

Applicable to machines with a three-pin plug This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or

breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER!

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can

result in risk of electric shock. Check with qualiﬁ ed electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded, Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not ﬁ t the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁ ed technician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adaptor which looks like the adaptor illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE! This temporary adaptor is not permitted in Canada

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Adjusting the handle

The handle can be adjusted to the suitable working height. Start by loosing the two locking knobs at each side of the handle. Then adjust the handle by moving it upwards or downwards until the proper angle is found. Secure handle by tighten locking screws in clockwise directions.

Dry Use

This machine has a number of dry material pick up options that should be considered. This machine shall always have the ﬁ lter basket and the ﬂ oat basket mounted when picking up dry material. This is also valid when using a dust bag.

Filter Basket:

A ﬁ lter basket comes standard with this machine. It can be used to collect a large amount of dry material directly in the tank. It also can function as a pre-ﬁ lter to extend the life of the cartridge ﬁ lter or HEPA ﬁ lter.

Dust Bag:

Dry material can be collected in a dust bag and then easily disposed of without creating a mess.

Cartridge Filter:

The optional cartridge ﬁ lter provides even ﬁ ner particle ﬁ ltration than the dust bag or ﬁ lter basket.

HEPA Protection Ring (HPR) and HEPA Filter:

The optional HPR and HEPA ﬁ lter provide true HEPA ﬁ ltration according to DOP MIL-STD-282 speciﬁ cations. The HPR must always be used when the HEPA ﬁ lter is used for either wet or dry pick up.

How to Use the Filter Basket:

The ﬁ lter basket should always be used when collecting dry material. It should never be used when collecting wet or moist material. The ﬁ lter basket always is mounted directly on top of the tank. The ﬂ oat shut off valve or cartridge ﬁ lter must be installed when the ﬁ lter basket is used. The ﬁ lter basket can be used alone to collect a large volume of dry material directly into the tank. The ﬁ lter basket also serves as a pre-ﬁ lter when using the optional cartridge ﬁ lter or HEPA Protection Ring (HPR) and HEPA ﬁ lter and servers to extend the life of these ﬁ lters. The ﬁ lter basket should be installed between the tank and the motor top or between the tank and HPR. The ﬁ lter basket is washable. Wash using mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before use. It can also be vacuumed off with another HEPA ﬁ ltered vacuum.

How to Use the Dust Bag:

The dust bag provides a neat and clean way to dispose of dry material. It is not reusable or washable. Secure the dust bag to the inlet on the inside of the tank by sliding the cardboard piece with rubber membrane over the inlet. Make sure the bag is pushed on as far as it will go. During use, check the bag frequently and remove and dispose of when about 2/3 full. Overﬁ lling the bag may make it more difﬁ cult to remove and increases the risk of the bag breaking and spilling the contents.

How to Use the Cartridge Filter:

The cartridge ﬁ lter is for dry use only and provides better ﬁ ltration than the dust bag and/or the ﬁ lter basket. The use of the ﬁ lter basket and/or dust bag helps ensure longer life of the cartridge ﬁ lter by acting as a pre-ﬁ lter for larger debris. The cartridge ﬁ lter can be mounted directly to the motor top or to the bottom of the HPR. The cartridge ﬁ lter mounts in place of the ﬂ oat shut basket. Remove the ﬂ oat shut off valve by rotating it counter clockwise and then install the cartridge ﬁ lter by pushing it in place. Be careful to not damage the ﬁ lter media. The cartridge ﬁ lter is not washable. It may be cleaned by gently vacuuming it with a HEPA vacuum and a soft brush. Be careful not to puncture or damage the ﬁ lter media. Do not use compressed air to clean the ﬁ lter.

How to Use the HEPA Protection Ring (HPR) and HEPA Filter:

The HPR and HEPA ﬁ lter work together to provide true HEPA ﬁ ltration capturing 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns and larger. The HPR must always be used when the HEPA ﬁ lter is used. For dry applications the use of the ﬁ lter basket in conjunction with the dust bag or cartridge ﬁ lter is highly recommended to extend the life of the HEPA ﬁ lter. When vacuuming dry hazardous material it is recommended to use a dust bag, ﬁ lter basket, cartridge ﬁ lter and HEPA ﬁ lter. For wet or moist applications the ﬂ oat shut off valve should be installed and no other ﬁ lters should be used except the HEPA ﬁ lter. The HEPA ﬁ lter is not washable and no maintenance should be performed on the ﬁ lter itself. Once the ﬁ lter becomes clogged it should be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local laws and regulations.

Wet Use

The vacuum is equipped with a ﬂ oat shut off valve that shuts off the vacuum when the maximum ﬂ uid level has been reached. The purpose is to protect the vacuum motor by shutting off the air ﬂ ow before motor damage occurs. When the maximum level is reached there will be a signiﬁ cant change in sound and airﬂ ow through the hose will decrease.

The ﬂ oat shut off valve is removable and can be placed either on the motor top itself or on the bottom of the HEPA Protection Ring.The ﬂ oat shut off should be cleaned after each use with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

When re-installing the ﬂ oat shut off valve, make sure the ﬂ oat itself is installed correctly. The open end should be pointing down into the tank and the closed end should face upwards towards the motor top. Installing the ﬂ oat in the wrong orientation will allow water to collect inside the ﬂ oat. In this case it will not ﬂ oat and will not shut off the vacuum properly. Water will then be drawn into the motor top and will destroy the vacuum.

For wet applications, no other ﬁ lters should be used except the HEPA ﬁ lter.

Draining

This machine is equipped with a rear mounted drain hose that makes empty the contents quick, easy and clean. Simply remove the end cap from the hose and slowly lower the drain hose to release the contents.
