FILTER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE (CONT'D.)
customer service. To use the foam sleeve; follow the instructions in this section.
4. Misting in the exhaust air or dripping of liquid around the tank cover may occur if the filter becomes
saturated during wet pick up. If this occurs, remove the filter and allow to dry, or replace with another dry
filter.
5. Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick up job or when tank is full and ready to be
emptied. When the tank is full, suction will drastically reduce. Refer to the automatic suction shut
off section for more information. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. Follow the
instructions in the emptying liquid waste section.
6. Before storing the vacuum cleaner or using for dry pick up, clean and dry the interior of the tank and the
underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the filters to dry completely.
7. Wet pick up accessories should be washed periodically; especially after picking up wet, sticky kitchen
accidents. This can be accomplished with a warm solution of soap and water.
FOAM SLEEVE
1. With the tank cover in an upside down position, slide the foam sleeve down over the
lid cage, pulling until foam sleeve completely covers the lid cage.
2. To clean the foam sleeve, side it up and off the lid cage. Shake excess debris off of the
foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. Hold foam sleeve under running water for a couple minutes, rinsing from the inside of
the filter. A water wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the filter.
4. Check the filter for tears. If any are found, replace with a new filter.
Your vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use the blower feature, clear the hose of any debris or
obstructions.
For vacuums with a blower port cover (not standard on all models), unscrew blower
port cover located on the back of tank cover. The blower port cover is equipped with
a retaining strap to prevent loss of the cover. NOTE: For maximum performance when
vacuuming, remove the blower port cover.
Insert machine hose end into blower port located on the back of the tank cover.
Twist the hose end slightly to tighten the connection. Caution should be used when using
as a blower due to the powerful force of air when using certain attachments.
WARNING
DEBRIS FROM BEING BLOWN OR RICOCHETING INTO THE EYES OR FACE WHICH CAN RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY.
EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE FROM THE TANK
To empty liquid waste from the tank, turn the vacuum off and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Remove
the tank cover and deposit the liquid waste in a suitable drain. Use side carry handles for lifting vac when
draining tank into drains that are located above floor level. After tank is empty, return the tank cover to its
original position.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT OFF
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.
