Intec 8940-20 Removing Liquid from the Vacuum Cleaner Tank Without Pump, Vacuuming Dry Materials

cally. The vacuum cleaner will continue to discharge liquid until there is about 4" left in the tank.

NOTE: The vacuum cleaner is capable of wet vacuuming while pumping. If the vacuum cleaner should shut off, the pick-up volume may be greater than the discharge volume. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

3.After wet vacuuming and pumping has been completed, the remain- ing liquid should be emptied from the tank and the pump pick-up assembly should be removed and cleaned.

NOTE: Keep shut-off valve in the OFF position when not pumping.

Removing Liquid from the Vacuum Cleaner Tank Without Pump

1.Unplug vacuum cleaner.

2.Remove motor head and set aside.

3.Block wheels.

4.Carefully dump contents into a drain. Do not dump through intake tube.

5.Rinse and dry tank.

NOTE: Do not store vacuum cleaner with liquid in tank. Run the vacuum cleaner for about 10 minutes without picking up anything to dry the inside of the tank and the filter cartridge.

Vacuuming Dry Materials

When vacuuming dry materials, either the filter cartridge or the foam sleeve AND the cloth filter are required. The reusable dry disc filter should always be in position over the foam sleeve for dry pick up. There are other filters that can be used with the required filters to provide additional filtration when vacuuming dry material. Follow the instructions included with these filters. Empty tank and clean filter frequently. Be sure filters are dry before using the vacuum cleaner to pick up dry material. Dry material will clog wet filters and make them difficult to clean.

Starting and Stopping Vacuum Cleaner

1.To turn vacuum cleaner on, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

2.To turn vacuum cleaner off, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

Filter Cleaning and Changing (Fig. 9)

To install filter:

1.Slide cartridge filter down over filter cage (Fig. 9A).

2.Insert filter retainer into top of cartridge filter (Fig. 9B).

3.Hold base of lid cage with one hand and turn retainer clockwise to tighten (Fig. 9C).

4.To remove filter for cleaning, hold base of lid cage with one hand and turn retainer counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 9D).

5.Slide filter off filter cage (Fig. 9E).

6.Clean dry filter by tapping filter on side of waste can (Fig. 9F). Clean wet filter by rinsing from the inside (Fig. 9G).

Clean cloth filters by shaking off loose material and brushing the filter with a soft bristle brush (Fig. 9H).

NOTE: When wet (to prevent mold and/or mildew build-up), the car- tridge filter should be removed and allowed to air dry for a 24-hour period before being re-installed back into the filter cage.
