PUMP-OUT Feature

4.Gently wring out excess water, and blot sleeve with a clean towel. The foam sleeve'

is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage. NOTE: Bottom of sleeve should be TUCKED in groove between lid cage and tank lid. (Figure 16)

_, WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

do not direct the discharge stream of water at the vacuum.

1.Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover.

2.Remove the tank cover and cartridge filter. The tank should also be cleaned of any dirt or debris.

3.Ensure that the foam sleeve is in place for wet pick-up. (See wet pick-up operation, p.4)

4.Be sure the opening inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank. (See wet pick-up operation, p.4)

5.Insert one end of the tube provided into the pick-up cage. Push tube in until it comes to a stop. (Figure 17)

6.Insert the other end of the tube into the hole on the bot-

tom of the lid cage. Push tube in until it comes to a

stop (Figure 18). Note: To avoid pump damage, never pump without the pick-up cage and screen in place.

7.Replace the tank cover and secure lid latches.

8.To prevent unwanted dis- charge of water, leave cap in

place over the outlet fitting. (Figure 19)

9.If pumping out during wet pick-up, remove the outlet fit- ting cover and connect a standard garden hose (not supplied) to the outlet fitting. (Figure 20)

10.Attach the 2-!/2" hose to the tank inlet.

11.Your wet/dry vacuum is sup- plied with a wet pick-up elbow. (Figure 21)

12.Place the elbow onto the 2- 1/2" hose end, and attach the desired 2-1/2" accessory to the elbow. (Figure 22) Elbow must be in place dur- ing wet pick-up to prevent overfilling of the vacuum. Do

not attempt wet pick-up with- out the elbow in place. Do not cover bleed hole in elbow. Failure to follow these precau- tions will result in overfilling of the vacuum and misting through the exhaust port.

13.Plug vacuum into wall receptacle

and turn on. Note: The on/off switch will automatically return to a neutral position.

14.Start wet pick-up. The pump will start operating once there is at least 4" of water in the bottom of the tank.

15.Because the wet pick-up speed is greater than the

pumping out speed, the tank will likely fill up. When the tank fills up, the vacuum will shut off.

16.The pump out unit will net prime if using a 1-1/4" diame- ter hose.

17.If the vacuum automatically shuts off because it is full, you will need to empty the tank by pumping. Do not empty the water that is in the vacuum hose back into the tank. This will cause the unit to overfill, and misting will occur through the exhaust port.

18, The ON switch must be manually held in the ON posi- tion for the vacuum to begin pumping again. It will take approximately 10 to 15 seconds for the water level in the tank to be reduced sufficiently enough for the pump to continue automatically. The vacuum will continue to pump water out until there is about 4" of water left in the tank.

19.After wet pick-up and pumping have been completed, the remaining liquid should be emptied from the tank and the pump pick-up assembly should be removed and cleaned.

20.To utilize your vacuum as a non-pump dry pick-up vacu- um cleaner, refer to dry pick-up operation (See p. 4) for proper installation of filters.
