P O LAR IZ ED P LU GTo reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the p lug in any way . Doub le insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded p ower cord and grounded p ower sup p ly syst em.

A Philip s head screw drive r is req uired.

IMP O R T AN T ! W hen va cuuming large q uantities of liq uids, do not immerse the nozzl e comp letely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the collection tank reaches its maximum cap acity . Y ou will notice an increase in motor sp eed. W hen this hap p ens, turn off the machine,disconnect from p ower sup p ly , and drain the liq uid into a suitab le recep tacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the collection tank with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove p lug from p ower sup p ly .

5. Clean or replace the filters.6 . Check the hose, attachments, and p ower cord to ve rify that they have not b een damaged.7 . Place p ower head on collection tank and secure latches.

IMP O R T AN T ! Clean or change the cartridge filter regularly for best performance. ALW AY S U S E CAR T R IDGE FILT ER FO R DR Y V ACU U MIN G. If the machine is used with out the cartridge filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on hand.

N O T ICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the cartridge filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of filter. Do not use a filter with holes or tears; rep lace it immediately .

In s t a l l i n g Ca r t r i d g e Fi l t e r 1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 1) 2 . Remove p ower head and p lace in up side down p osition. 3. Install the cartridge filter over the filter cage with the flat end of the filter towards the power head.

Carefully push filter in until it stops against the power head. (Fig. 2 & 3) 4. Place filter retainer on top of cartridge filter over the raised lip and tighten down by turning

retainer clockwise; do not over-tighten. (Fig. 4 & 5)

R e m o v i n g a n d Cl e a n i n g Ca r t r i d g e Fi l t e r 1. Unlock and remove the filter retainer by turning retainer handle counter clockwise. 2. Carefully hold and pull the cartridge filter up for removal. (Fig. 6) 3. Clean the cartridge filter by gently tapping or brushing dirt off. Cleaning should not be done

indoors in living areas. For optimal performance a new filter is recommended.

Before storing yo ur va c, the collection tank should b e emp tied and cleaned. The cord should b e wrap p ed and hung on the hook of the handle. The hose and accessories should b e stored as illustrated above (Fig. 1-3) so they can be readily available when needed. Store vac indoors.
