ENGLISH
29. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around
the tank cover may occur if the foam sleeve 16 becomes
saturated during wet pick up. If this occurs, remove the
foam sleeve 16 and allow to dry, or replace with another
dry foam sleeve 16 .
30. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet
pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied.
When the tank is full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer
to "automatic suction shut off" in this manual. Raise the
hose 12 to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow
the "emptying liquid waste" section in this manual.
31. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry
pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the
underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the filters to
dry completely.
NOTE: WET PICK UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED
PERIODICALLY; ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY
ACCIDENTS. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM
SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
FOAM SLEEVE 16 INSTALLATION AND CLEANING:
32. With tank cover in an upside down position, slide foam
sleeve 16 down over lid cage pulling until foam sleeve
16 completely covers lid cage. Fig. 15.
Fig. 15

WARNING:
SLEEVE, DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE
WALL OUTLET. REMOVE THE TANK COVER
AND PLACE THE COVER IN AN UPSIDE-DOWN
POSITION. REMOVE FOAM SLEEVE BY SLIDING IT
UP AND OFF THE LID CAGE.
33. Shake excess debris off of the foam sleeve 16 with a
rapid up and down movement.
34. Hold foam sleeve 16 under running water for a minute
or two, rinsing from the inside of the filter. A water wash
is not always required, depending on the condition of the
foam sleeve.
35. Check the foam sleeve 16 for tears. If any are found,
replace with a new foam sleeve 16 .

TO CLEAN THE FOAM
BLOWER FEATURE
36. Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use
the blower feature 3 , clear the hose 12 of any debris
or obstructions. Insert machine hose 12 end into blower
port 3 located on the back of the tank cover. Twist the
hose end slightly to tighten the connection.
Fig. 16. Caution should be used when using as a blower
due to the powerful force of air when using certain
attachments.

WARNING:
PROTECTION TO PREVENT ROCKS OR DEBRIS
FROM BEING BLOWN OR RICOCHETING INTO THE
EYES OR FACE WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
37. Your wet/dry vacuum can be emptied of liquid waste
by removing the drain cap 10 . To empty, turn unit off
and remove plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the
drain cap 10 and deposit the liquid waste contents in
a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the drain
cap 10 to its original position. To continue use, plug the
cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on. Use
side carry handles for lifting vac when draining tank into
drains that are located above floor level.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
38. The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction
shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the
level of the liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises
until it seats itself against a seal at the intake of the
motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the
motor will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and
the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn unit
off immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises
and shuts off suction will result in extensive damage to
the motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from
the tank as outlined in the previous section.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD
LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS, TURN UNIT OFF AND PLACE
VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO
RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
