1.  Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet.  (Fig. 1)  Make sure that the 

collection tank is clean and free from dust and dirt.

2.  Remove cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and place 

the power head back on the collection tank.  For filter installation instructions, see page 12.

3.  Fit the desired nozzle to the vacuum hose.  (Fig. 2)

4.  Verify that the power switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the 

outlet.  (Fig. 3)

5.  Turn the motor on by pressing the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.  (Fig. 4)

6.  Once you have completed vacuuming, flip the power switch to the 'O' (OFF) position and 

unplug the power cord from the outlet.

7.  After use, empty the collection tank by unscrewing the drain cap.  Drain liquids into a suitable 

receptacle or drain.  (Fig. 5)  Remember to refit the drain cap to the collection tank.

I M P O R T A N T !

  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 inflow.  The machine is fitted 

with a float 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 into a suitable receptacle or drain.  To continue 

vacuuming, refit the collection tank with 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 b efore storage.   

R E M E M B E R !    

The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming and 

a cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.
