AUTOMATIC SUCTION
SHUT OFF
33. The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction
shut-off that operates when picking up liquids. As the
level of the liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises
until it seats itself against a seal at the intake of the
motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the
motor will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and
the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn
unit off immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float
rises and shuts off suction will result in extensive
damage to the motor. To continue use, empty the liquid
waste from the tank as outlined in the previous
section.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE
VACUUM COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS,
TURN UNIT OFF AND PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT
POSITION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN
TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE
TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
Before doing any work on your vacuum, turn the unit off and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
