5. After use, empty the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage (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 a reusable cloth filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

EMPTYING THE COLLECTION TANK

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE OVING 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 & 4). 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. 5).
5. Clean or replace the filters (Fig. 6).
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 REUSABLE CLOTH FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the reusable cloth filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on hand.

NOTICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The cloth filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cloth filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the cloth 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.

STORAGE

Before storing your vacuum, the collection tank should be emptied and cleaned. The accessories should be cleaned and stored so they can be readily available when needed. Store the wet/dry vacuum indoors.

REPAIRS

Repairs for this wet/dry vacuum should be performed only by qualified service personnel using only identical replacement parts.
