Wet Vacuum Cleaner
This vacuum cleaner is a high quality, precision made
product. All parts used in the manufacturing of this
vacuum cleaner have passed rigid quality control
standards prior to assembly and an “each unit” final
inspection prior to packaging is your assurance of
proper assembly. This vacuum cleaner was protectively
packaged to prevent possible damage in transit. Should
damage occur, please notify the transporting carrier

ABOUT THE MACHINE
BEFORE EACH USE
This vacuum cleaner is designed for wet only pickup.
Please avoid picking up dry materials.
Make sure the tank is clean, and that there is no debris
in the tank that can impede the action of the pump float
switch.
Make sure the mesh filter bag is installed on the inlet, on
the inside of the canister. The bag should be empty, and
the clamp should be installed on the bottom of the bag.
Position the thin, flat plastic strip that is attached to the
mesh filter bag, over the rim of the canister. This strip helps
to retain the bag when it fills with debris. Be sure that the
float mounted on the underside of the motor head is able
to move freely, and that the filter on the outside of the float
housing is clean and in place. This filter will protect the
vacuum motor from debris.
Attach the motor head to the canister using the two metal
clamps that are mounted on the canister. The pump cord
exits the rear of the canister, near the top. Plug this cord
into the outlet on the top rear of the motor head.
Attach the long discharge hose to the brass fitting on the
rear of the canister. The fitting is a ball coupling type. Pull
the collar of the female brass fitting toward the canister
before inserting the hose fitting.
OPERATION
The vacuum cleaner motor is controlled by the switch on
the top left side of the motor head. The pump out feature
is controlled by the switch on the top right side of the motor
head. If using the pump out feature, the pump switch can
be left on. The pump is equipped with a float switch, which
will automatically start the pump when the water level is
then canister rises. The float switch will automatically
stop the pump when the liquid level stops. If the vacuum
is being used without the long discharge hose, leave the
pump switch off. The liquid in the canister can also be
emptied using the short, black, corrugated hose attached
to the rear of the canister. Be sure the end of the hose is
securely attached to the stationary drain hose plug after
use.
Check the mesh bag frequently for debris. To empty,
remove the bag from the canister and slide off the retaining
clip on the bottom of the bag. Reinstall the mesh filter bag
before continuing to use the vacuum. Do not operate the
vacuum without the mesh filter bag in place.
CAUTION
Never lubricate the vacuum cleaner motor. The motor
bearings are permanently sealed. This vacuum is
intended for indoor or outdoor use and for wet pickup,
but it is not intended to be exposed to rain.
CAUTION
Do not pick up dry material with this vacuum cleaner.
