WARNING: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO A POWER OUTLET. MAKE

SURE THE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VACUUM. TO

REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.

UNPACKING YOUR WET/DRY VACUUM & GENERAL ASSEMBLY

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

2. Undo the latches (Fig. 2).

3. Lift the power head off the collection tank (Fig. 3).

4. Remove the contents from inside the collection tank; make sure you have all contents as listed

on page 6 (Fig. 4).

5. Turn the collection tank upside down and insert the four caster feet into the slots on the

collection tank and tighten with supplied screws. Verify that the casters are mounted correctly.

Do not over-tighten screws (Fig. 5).

6. Your vacuum comes ready for dry vacuum cleaning. If the cartridge filter is not installed, refer

to page 13 for installation instructions (Fig. 6 & 7).

7. For wet vacuum cleaning, remove the cartridge filter, and install the supplied foam wet filter.

See page 14 for the foam wet filter installation instructions (Fig. 8).

8. Place the power head back on the collection tank aligning the top section with the latches, and

snap into place (Fig. 9).

9. Insert the locking end of the hose into the vacuum port on the collection tank and lock into

place (Fig. 10).

10. Choose the desired attachment and insert onto the end of the hose or extension wand (Fig.

11).

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified 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.

FINE DUST USE A FINE DUST FILTER (SOLD SEPARATELY).

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

2. In order to prepare your vacuum for dry vacuuming, make sure the cartridge filter completely

covers the filter cage against the power head. Your wet/dry vacuum comes with the cartridge

filter pre-installed. For installation instructions, see page 13 (Fig. 2 & 3).

3. Place the filter retainer on the top of the cartridge filter and tighten down by turning the retainer

handle clockwise (Fig. 4).

4. Optional: For improved dust filtration, fit the dust bag flange onto the inlet port, taking care not

to damage the bag (Fig. 5).

“IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. 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-

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 THE POWER CORD INTO THE POWER OUTLET. MAKE

SURE THE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTERS.

1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Make sure that the collection tank is clean and free of dust and dirt (Fig. 1).

2. Remove the cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and place the power head back on the collection tank. For foam wet filter installation instructions, see page 14 (Fig. 2).

DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING

3. Push the required attachment onto the free end of the hose or extension wand (Fig. 3).

4. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the power outlet. Plug the power cord into the outlet (Fig. 4 & 5).

5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position (Fig. 6).

6. Once you have completed vacuuming, flip the 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. Remember to refit the drain cap to the collection tank (Fig. 7).

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 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, refit 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 before storage.

REMEMBER!

The foam wet filter must be removed after wet vacuuming and the cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

EMPTYING THE COLLECTION TANK

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE

REMOVING THE POWER HEAD FROM COLLECTION TANK.

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 into a proper waste container (Fig. 4).

5. Clean or replace the filters (Fig. 5).

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

7. Place the power head back onto the collection tank and secure latches.

IMPORTANT!

Clean or change the filter regularly for best performance.

ALWAYS USE THE

CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING.

If the machine is used without the cartridge filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare dust filters on hand.

NOTICE!

The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes. A small hole can let dust pass through and out of the filter. Do not use a filter with holes or tears; replace it immediately.

CLEANING THE BLOWER INTAKE

After using the blower, examine the bottom of the blower for debris and blockages and remove if found. To clean the foam pad of the intake:
