Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to vac.
8
Operation (continued)
2. When using your vac to pick up very
fine dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain
peak vac performance.
NOTE: Adryfilter is necessaryto pick up
dry material. If you use your vac to pick
up material when the filter is wet, the filter
will clog quickly and be very difficult to
clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you
must first allow the filter to dry.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid the filter maybe left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid we recommend that the filter be
removed. If the filter is not removed, it
will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is 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 plug in any way.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle for
most vacuuming applications.
Wet Nozzle (9 gallon models only) -
Used for wet pickup on smooth surfaces
to pick up liquid and drythe surface in
one stroke.
Car Nozzle (9 gallon models only) - Dry
pickup nozzle for car interiors and most
upholstery cleaning.
Extension Wands - These wands can be
connected together and provide
additional length.
=OFF =ON
Familiarize yourself with the accessories
included with the vac. Each accessory may
be used in various ways for vacuuming and
blowing debris. Here is a list of the
accessories and their uses.
After you plug the power cord into the outlet,
turn the unit on by pushing the switch from
position "O" to position "l". The symbols
used on the switch actuator are international
"On & Off" symbols. "O" is the symbol for
"OFF" and "l" is the symbol for "ON".
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter the motor compartment. Store indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
• Do not service Vac while it is plugged-in. If your Vac is not working as it should, has
missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to an independent service center or call customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good
condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.
• Do not vacuum toxic materials to reduce the risk of inhaling the vapors or dust.

3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. You will know that the float
has risen because suction stops and the
motor noise will become higher in pitch,
due to increased motor speed. When this
happens, turn off the vac, unplug the
power cord, and empty the drum.
4. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the
filter must be dried to avoid possible
mildew and damage to the filter.

Cleaning A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage filter.
Installation
Refer to page 5 "Replacement Filter
Assembly" Section of this manual.
Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the vac.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid.
Handle the filter carefully when removing
to clean or installing it. Creases in the
filter pleats may occur from installation
but will not affect the performance of the
filter.
Filter Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak vac performance.
Allow the filter to dry before storing or
picking up dry debris.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a

ohumeando, como cigarrillos, fósforos o cenizas
calientes.
•No recoja con la aspiradora polvo de pared de tipo
seco ni hollín frío o ceniza fría de chimenea con un
filtro estándar. Este material es un polvo muy fino
que puede ser expulsado de vuelta al aire. Utilice un
filtro para polvo fino en lugar de un filtro estándar.
• Para reducir el riesgo de inhalar vapores tóxicos,
no recoja con la aspiradora materiales tóxicos o
peligrosos ni la use cerca de dichos materiales.
• Para reducir el riesgo de descargas eléctricas, no
exponga la aspiradora a la lluvia ni deje que entren
líquidos en el compartimiento del motor.Guarde la

• No permita que la aspiradora se utilice como un
juguete. Se necesita prestar máxima atención
cuando sea utilizada por niños o cerca de éstos.
• No use la aspiradora con un filtro desgarrado o sin
tener el filtro instalado, excepto cuando recoja con
ella líquidos de la manera que se describe en este
manual. Los residuos secos absorbidos por el
impulsor podrían dañar el motor o ser expulsados
de vuelta al aire.

• No desenchufe la aspiradora tirando del cordón.
Para desenchufarla, agarre el enchufe y no el
cordón.
• No use la aspiradora con el cordón dañado, el
enchufe dañado u otras piezas dañadas. Si la
aspiradora no funciona como debe, le faltan piezas,
se ha caído, ha sido dañada, se ha dejado a la
intemperie o se ha caído al agua, llame a servicio al
cliente.
• No tire de la aspiradora usando el cordón ni la lleve
por el cordón, ni use el cordón como asa, ni cierre
una puerta sobre el cordón, ni tire del cordón
alrededor de bordes o esquinas afilados. No pase la
aspiradora en marcha sobre el cordón. Mantenga el
cordón alejado de las superficies calientes.
• No maneje el enchufe, el interruptor o la aspiradora
con las manos mojadas.
• No ponga ningún objeto en las aberturas de
ventilación. No recoja nada con la aspiradora
cuando cualquiera de las aberturas de ventilación
esté bloqueada; mantenga dichas aberturas libres
de polvo, pelusa, pelo o cualquier cosa que pueda
reducir el flujo de aire.
•Mantenga el pelo, la ropa holgada, los dedos y
todas las partes del cuerpo alejados de las
aberturas y de las piezas móviles.
• Para reducir el riesgo de caídas, tenga cuidado
adicional al limpiar en escaleras.
•Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones de espalda o
caídas, no levante una aspiradora que pese mucho
debido a que contiene líquido o residuos. Vacíe
parcialmente la aspiradora sacando los residuos o
drenando el líquido para hacer que sea cómodo
levantarla.
• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones corporales o
daños a la aspiradora, utilice únicamente
accesorios recomendados por Husky o RIDGID®.
• Cuando utilice la aspiradora como soplador :
- Dirija la descarga de aire solamente hacia el área
de trabajo.
-No dirija el airehacia las personas que estén
presentes.
-Mantenga alejados a los niños durante la
operación de soplado.
-No utilice el soplador para trabajos que no sean
soplar suciedad y residuos.
- No use la aspiradora como rociador.
-Use protección ocular de seguridad.
• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones en los ojos, use
protección ocular de seguridad. La utilización de cual-
quier aspiradora utilitaria o soplador utilitario puede
hacer que se soplen objetos extraños hacia los ojos,
lo cual puede causar daños graves en los ojos.
• Esta aspiradora para mojado/seco tiene aislamiento
doble, lo cual elimina la necesidad de un sistema
independiente de conexión a tierra. Utilice
únicamente piezas de repuesto idénticas. Lea las
instrucciones de servicio de revisión de las
aspiradoras para mojado/seco con aislamiento
doble antes de realizar dicho servicio.
• Utilice únicamente cordones de extensión que
tengan capacidad nominal para uso a la intemperie.
Los cordones de extensión que estén en malas
condiciones o tengan un tamaño de alambre
demasiado pequeño pueden crear peligros de
incendio y descargas eléctricas. Para reducir el
riesgo de estos peligros, asegúrese de que el
cordón esté en buenas condiciones y que el líquido
no entre en contacto con la conexión. No utilice un
cordón de extensión que tenga conductores con un
diámetromenor al calibre 16 (AWG). Para reducir la
pérdida de potencia, utilice un cordón de extensión
de calibre 14 si la longitud es de 25 a 50 pies, y de
calibre 12 si la longitud es de 50 pies o más.
PRECAUCIÓN:
• Para reducir el riesgo de daños a la audición, use
protectores de oídos cuando utilice la aspiradora
durante muchas horas seguidas o cuando la
emplee en un área ruidosa.
• Para operaciones que generan polvo, use una
máscara antipolvo.
•Las descargas de estática son comunes en áreas
secas o cuando la humedad relativa del aire es baja.
Si recoge residuos finos con la aspiradora, se
puede depositar carga estática en la manguera o en
la aspiradora. El mejor remedio para reducir la
frecuencia de las descargas de estática en su casa
ocuando use esta aspiradora es añadir humedad al
aire con un humidificador.
