the collection tank.
12
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely
in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inow. The machine is tted
with a oat valve that stops the suction action when the collection tank reaches its maximum
capacity. You will notice an increase in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine,
disconnect from power supply, and drain the liquid. To continue vacuuming, replace the drain
cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the
collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam wet lter must be removed after wet vacuuming and the cartridge lter
must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
BLOWER OPERATION
This Wet/Dry Vacuum has blowing capabilities. To use the blower feature follow the instructions
listed.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet (Fig. 1).
2. Make sure the collection tank is empty before using as a blower. Clear all dirt and debris from
the hose and collection tank.
3. Remove hose from the vacuum port.
4. Insert the larger end of the hose into the blower port on the side of the power head and lock into
place (Fig. 2).
5. Choose the desired accessory and insert onto the end of the hose (Fig. 3).
6. Verify that the on/off switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the
outlet. Plug the power cord into the outlet (Fig. 4 & 5).
7. Before turning on the vacuum, rmly hold the loose end of the hose. Turn the motor on by
ipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position (Fig. 6).
8. Once you have completed blowing, ip the on/off switch to the 'O' OFF position and unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
WARNING:

(OR IN CANADA, CSAZ94.3) BEFORE USING BLOWER.
WARNING:
WEAR A DUST MASK IF BLOWING CREATES DUST THAT MIGHT
BE INHALED.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE
REMOVING THE POWER HEAD FROM COLLECTION TANK.
IMPORTANT! Clean or change the lter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS USE THE
CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the cartridge lter,
the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare lters on hand.
NOTICE! The lters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust
particles. The cartridge lter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge lter is necessary
to pick up dust. If the cartridge lter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difcult to clean. Handle
the lter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the lters for tears or small
holes. A small hole can let dust pass through and out of the lter. Do not use a lter with holes or
tears; replace it immediately.
STORAGE

should be cleaned and stored so they can be readily available when needed. Store the wet/dry
vacuum indoors.
