IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
WET PICKUP VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch
and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturerʼs
recommended attachments.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working
as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped
into water, have unit serviced before using.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on
cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum
cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying
capacity.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the
cord.
Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce
airflow.
This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving brush
roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from
openings and moving parts.
Do not place cleaner on furniture or stairs as the brush roll may cause
damage. Place cleaner on floor with the handle in storage position
while using attachments.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns,
avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
Keep your work area well lighted.
Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

INSTRUCTIONS
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 into 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The cleaner is designed to pick up dirt and dust
particles. Avoid picking up hard or sharp objects

Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat
that protects the cleaner in case of motor
overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off,
turn the switch off and unplug the cleaner. Check
the cleaner for a possible source of overheating
such as a blocked hose or clogged filters. If
these conditions are found, fix them and wait at
least 30 minutes before attempting to use the
cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the
cleaner back in and turn on the switch. If the
cleaner still does not run, then call 1-800-282-
2886 for customer assistance.
