OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Dry Material Vacuuming
Warning: To reduce risk of electric shock - unplug before cleaning or emptying canister.
Caution: To reduce the risk of hearing damage wear ear protectors when using the unit for extended periods of time or when in a noisy area. The operation of any utility vacuum can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA
Caution: To avoid damage to the motor only use the filter cartridge and dust bag for dry pick- up.
Note: To dry the unit if your vacuum was recently used for wet
1.Ensure that the filter cartridge and dust bag are correctly installed to avoid leaks and possible motor damage to the vacuum.
2.Attach the flexible hose, extension tube(s) and desired attachment.
3.Plug unit into electrical wall outlet. Turn the power On/Off switch to the “On” position.
4.To keep your unit in good running order, empty the canister and clean the dust bag and filter cartridge frequently, especially when using to pick up fine dust or fine debris. This will prevent a build up of mold or mildew.
Liquid or Wet Vacuuming
Warning: Do not vacuum up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
Caution: To avoid damage to the unit always use the foam filter for wet
1.Unplug unit from electrical wall outlet.
2.Place the foam filter on the filter holder and secure the filter holder into place on the canister.
3.Attach the flexible hose, extension tube(s) and desired attachment.
4.Plug unit into electrical wall outlet, and turn the On/Off power switch to the “On” position.
5.When vacuuming up large amounts of liquid, make sure that the canister is not too full to avoid injury when emptying the canister.
Caution: Avoid tipping the unit when full of water.
6.If the liquid being vacuumed passes a specified amount, a float valve will rise automatically and cut off the airflow to the unit. If this occurs, turn the unit “Off” and unplug the power cord. Empty the canister of any liquid. The float valve will go down after the unit is turned off.
7.When finished vacuuming up the liquids, empty the canister, remove the flexible hose and run the vacuum for approximately 10 minutes to dry the foam filter. This will prevent a build up of mold or mildew.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To reduce risk of electric shock - unplug before cleaning, assembly or emptying canister. Warning: To reduce the risk of back injuries or falls, never lift the vacuum if the canister is full of liquid or debris because it is heavy. Scoop or drain enough of the contents to lighten the canister enough so that it can be lifted comfortably.

2.Unplug unit from electrical wall outlet.
3.To empty the canister, first remove the filter holder from the canister.
4.Lift canister off of the caddy and empty into the appropriate waste container.
5.When emptying liquids from the canister it is suggested that the canister be tipped over carefully so that liquid could spill into a drain pipe.
Warning: Be careful not to empty any liquid onto the power cord or the filter holder as this could damage the motor.
Warning: Lifting heavy objects can cause injury. Empty frequently to avoid excessive weight.
