IQUID VACUUM OPERATION
LIQUID VACUUMING
WARNING: BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY
INFORMATION, ENTITLED ‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS’.
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-BASE PAINTS, GASOLINE, ALCOHOL OR
AEROSOL SPRAYS. EXPLOSIVE DUSTS 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 IN POWER CORD TO POWER SOCKET.
MAKE SURE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING AND
CLEANING FILTERS.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the power socket. (fig.1)
Make sure that the container is clean and free from dust and dirt.
2. Remove cartridge filter and dust bag, then carefully install the foam
sleeve filter over the filter cage and place the power head back on the
container. (fig.2) See filter installing instructions on page10.
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
DO NOT USE A DUST COLLECTION BAG FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – WET VACUUMING.
3. Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum cleaner hose. (fig.3)
4. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power
cord into the power socket. (fig.4)
5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (fig.5)
6. After use, empty the container by unscrewing the drain cap and drain
liquids into suitable receptacle or drain. (fig.6) Remember to refit the
drain cap to the container after draining container.
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 container reaches
its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase in motor noise.
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 container with the drain cap. After wet
vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply.
Empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside before
storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming,
and a cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
