P O L A R I Z E D P L U G

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

A Philips head screw driver is required.

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, ip 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. Drain liquids into a suitable

receptacle or drain. (Fig. 5) Remember to ret the drain cap to the collection tank.

I M P O R T A N T ! 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 inow. 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. To continue vacuuming, ret the collection tank with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside b efore storage. R E M E M B E R ! The foam lter must be removed after wet vacuuming and a cartridge lter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

MAINTENANCE

1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 1)

2. Disconnect the hose from the vacuum. (Fig. 2)

3. Undo the latches and remove the power head from the collection tank. (Fig. 3) Place power

head on a soft, clean surface upside down.

4. Clear all dirt or debris from the collection tank and hose. (Fig. 4)

5. Clean or replace the lters.

6. Check the hose, attachments, and power cord to verify that they have not been damaged.

7. Place power head on collection tank and secure latches.

I M P O R T A N T ! Clean or change the cartridge lter regularly for best performance. A L W A Y S U S E C A R T R I D G E F I L T E R F O R D R Y V A C U U M I N G . If the machine is used without the cartridge lter,

the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare lters on hand.

N O T I C E ! The lters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The cartridge lter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge lter is necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge lter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difcult to clean. Handle the lter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the lters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the lter. Do not use a lter with holes or

tears; rep lace it immediately .
