Safety Signal Words

DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. When using your Vacuum, always follow basic safety precautions including the following:

WARNING: Read Owner's Manual before using this product. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1. Read and understand this manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vacuum before operating.
2. Use only as described in this manual.
3. DO NOT leave Vacuum running while unattended - you may fail to notice important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid exiting the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vacuum if you notice these signs.
4. DO NOT leave Vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
5. Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, DO NOT use near combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.
6. DO NOT vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
7. DO NOT vacuum drywall dust, cold fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with standard filter. These may pass through the filter and be exhausted back into the air. Use a fine dust filter instead.
8. To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, DO NOT vacuum or use near toxic or hazardous materials.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
10. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
11. DO NOT use with a torn filter or without the filter installed except when vacuuming liquids as described in this manual. Dry debris ingested by the impeller may damage the motor or be exhausted back into the air.
12. Turn off Vacuum before unplugging.
13. To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter.
14. DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS VACUUM MUST BE GROUNDED. If a Vacuum should malfunction or stop working, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with the unit.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The Vacuum cleaners in this manual are for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and have a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in Figure C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet in Figure A can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly

grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. For Canada - This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 - volt circuit and has a grounded attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. Make sure that the Vacuums are connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with the Vacuums detailed in this manual.

OPERATION (Continued)

VACUUMING DRY MATERIALS

1. The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to Vacuum.
2. Your Wet/ Dry Vacuum comes with the Wet Filter installed. When using your Vacuum to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to change the dry filter and empty the drum and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak vacuum performance.

NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your Vacuum to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Use the wet filter when picking up wet material.

VACUUMING LIQUIDS

NOTE: When picking up very small amounts of water, the Fine Dust Filter may be left in place.

1. When picking up large amounts of liquid, the Fine Dust Filter should be removed and the mesh, Wet Filter (107177) should be installed. If the Fine Dust Filter is not removed, water could enter the motor housing which could overload and damage the motor. If the mesh, wet filter is not installed, small debris or soap suds may also enter the motor housing and cause damage to the motor.
2. The float mechanism activates to prevent water from entering the motor housing. When the liquid in the tank reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off airflow. When this happens, turn off the Vacuum, unplug the power cord and empty the tank. You will know that the float has risen because the Vacuum airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vacuum, do not run the motor with the float in the raised position.
3. After using the Vacuum, follow the filter maintenance instructions found on page 12 to reduce the risk of possible mildew and damage to the filter.

EMPTYING THE DRUM

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before emptying the drum.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, DO NOT lift a Vacuum heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or drain enough contents out to make the Vacuum light enough to lift comfortably.

1. The Vacuum comes equipped with a drain for easy emptying of liquids. Simply unscrew the drain cap and lift the opposite side slightly to empty the drum.
2. Another option is to remove the powerhead assembly.
3. Lay powerhead assembly aside on a clean area while emptying drum.
4. Dump the drum contents into the proper waste disposal container.

MOVING THE WET/DRY VACUUM

Should it become necessary to pick the Vacuum up to move it, the handle on the sides of the dust drum are used to lift. To maneuver the Vacuum, the push/pull handle in the rear of the unit should be used.

ACCESSIONS

Your accessories may be stored in the removable tote. The hose may be stored by wrapping it around the unit and placing each end into the two areas marked Hose Storage.

NOTE: Insert male end of extension wand into the holder sleeve as shown.

The hose may be stored by wrapping it around the unit and plugging the open end into one of the storage locations on the caddy assembly.

CORD WRAP

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the cord and wrap it around the power assembly as shown. The cord should wrap under the pull handle (above the inlet) and around and under the cord wrap of the motor cover.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER CAGE AND FLOAT MECHANISM

1. Remove the filter from the filter cage.
2. Press removal tab inward and pivot the filter cage outward.
3. Clean all debris from cage and float mechanism.
4. Place the ball float over the opening in the center of the lid over the hole.
5. Line up filter cage tabs with slots in the center ring of the lid.
6. Push on the filter cage until the tabs snap into slots for a secure fit. (Refer to pg 8).

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (Continued)

CLEANING THE FINE DUST FILTER

NOTE: Clean the filter in an open area.

Cleaning should be done outdoors.

1. Remove filter from Vacuum. Gently tap the filter against the inside wall of the dust tank. The debris will loosen and fall.
2. For thorough cleaning of a filter clogged with fine dust, (no surface debris), run water down the outside of the filter pleats and ensure the water pressure is not strong enough to damage the filter.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of the Vacuum. If damaged, replace the filter immediately.

CLEANING THE WET FILTER

For best cleaning results, clean the mesh filter in a utility sink or under a spigot.

1. Remove the filter from the Vacuum. Gently tap the filter against the inside wall of the dust tank to loosen surface debris.
2. For thorough cleaning of the wet filter, run water through it from the inside-out. While doing this run hand or soft brush over the surface to remove clinging debris.
3. For a filter coated or clogged with floor wax, rinse the filter with a diluted floor stripper chemical. Using warm water and a soft brush should extend the life of the filter. Rinse the filter again with only warm water to remove any remaining chemicals.

IMPORTANT: If the sealing surfaces or mesh have been damaged, or if the filter is clogged beyond repair, replace the wet filter immediately.

IMPORTANT: The mesh, wet filter is multiple layers of fine and course mesh specially engineered to protect the Vacuum's motor. This filter has been designed to break up soap suds and capture floor stripper and most debris that may remain on a floor when wet cleaning. Using this filter does NOT replace pre-cleaning a floor prior to floor stripping.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (Continued)

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING THE WET/ DRY VACUUM

To keep your Wet/ Dry Vacuum looking its best, clean the outside with a cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap.

To clean the drum:

1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.

Before prolonged storage or as needed (i.e., waste water pick-up) the drum should be disinfected.

To disinfect the drum:

1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes, carefully swishing every few minutes, making sure to wet all inside surfaces of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse with water until bleach smell is gone. Allow drum to dry completely before sealing the motor on the drum.

WARNING: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs and adjustments should be performed by Authorized Service Centers, always using PROTEAM replacement parts.

CORD MAINTENANCE

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the cord and wrap it around the motor cover. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their service agent or by similarly qualified personnel to reduce the risk of accident.

STORAGE

Before storing your Vacuum, the drum should be emptied and cleaned. The cord should be wrapped around the unit and the hose should be stored as described in this manual. Accessories should be kept in the same area as the Vacuum so they can be readily available. The Vacuum should be stored indoors.

CASTERS AND WHEELS

Should your cart squeak or become hard to roll, you should place two or three drops of general purpose oil on each wheel at the axle. If your casters are noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the roller shaft to make them quieter.

FRAME AND HANDLES

Your metal handle is painted to prevent rust, however, liquids and corrosive debris should be wiped off with a soft cloth should they come in contact with the handle.
