LIQUID VACUUM OPERATION (Figs.38-39.):
WARNING: Be sure to read, understand, and apply
information, entitled ‘safety instructions & warnings’. Do
not vacuum in areas with flammable gases, vapours, or
explosive dusts in the air. Flammable gases or vapours
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 vapours 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
IMPORTANT: When vacuuming large quantities of
liquids, we recommend that you remove the vacuum
from the mounting rack and put it on the floor. The
vacuum can be heavy when full of liquids and may be
difficult to remove from the rack.
Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet.
Verify that the container is clean and free of dust and dirt.
Clockwise, do not over tighten.
Removing and Cleaning Cartridge Filter
Unlock and remove the filter retainer by turning retainer
handle counter clockwise.
Carefully hold and pull the cartridge filter up for removal.
Clean the cartridge filter by gently tapping or brushing
dirt off. Cleaning should not be done indoors in living
areas. For optimal performance a new filter is
recommended.
Install cleaned or new filter into place as instructed above
in steps 2 and 3 of Installing Cartridge Filter.
Wet filters should be removed and allowed to air dry
before installing onto the filter cage.
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 empty the liquid into
a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming,
refit the power head to the container. After wet
vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from
power supply. To prevent the risk of possible mildew,
empty the container, clean and dry the inside and
outside of the container, and remove the foam filter and
allow to air dry before storage.
