IMP O R T AN T ! W hen va cuuming large q uantities of liq uids, do not immerse the nozzl e comp letely
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
cap acity . Y ou will notice an increase in motor sp eed. W hen this hap p ens, turn off the machine,
disconnect from p ower sup p ly , and drain the liq uid into a suitab le recep tacle or drain. To continue
vacuuming, refit the collection tank with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off
and remove p lug from p ower sup p ly . E mp ty the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and
outside b efore storage.
R EMEMBER ! The foam wet filter must be removed after wet vacuuming
and a cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
