Extension cord
instructions
Use at least a 16 gauge, grounding
type, SVT or SJT type extension
cord. The extension cord must
employ a 3-prong grounding type
plug and a 3-pole receptacle that
accepts the machine plug.
Dry pick-up
With foam and paper filters in place
and cleaner lid locked onto tank,
attach the desired tool to hose end.
Plug power cord into a properly
grounded outlet and turn cleaner on.
Use paper filter with foam filter for
dry pick-up only.
Wet pick-up
With foam filter only in place and
cleaner lid locked onto tank, attach
desired tool (with squeegee if
available with your model) to hose
end. Plug power cord into a
properly grounded outlet and turn
cleaner on.
Do not use paper filter for wet
pick-up.
Do not use cleaner as a pump to
clean out clogged drains, sinks, or
other plumbing fixtures.
If cleaner will not pick up, check
filters. They may need to be
cleaned or changed (See
“Maintenance” section).
Automatic wet
shut-off
When the tank is full of liquid, the
automatic shut-off mechanism will
shut off cleaner pick-up. When this
happens, the cleaner will no longer
pick up and the motor sound will
become noticeably higher in pitch.
Turn cleaner off and empty tank to
continue use.
The automatic shut-off will also
engage if the cleaner has been
tipped over. To continue use, turn
cleaner off and set it upright. Wait
a few seconds to allow motor to
come to a complete stop.
Blower feature
The blower can be used to blow dirt
out of areas where it is impossible
for suction to reach.
Inside of hose, and tools must be
free of litter before operating
blower.
We recommend that the filters be in
place when operating the blower
feature.
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
Push hose into blower port (A) or
(B); twist hose to tighten or loosen
connection. Attach tool if desired.
CAUTION: Wear safety goggles
when using blower feature. Do not
blow toward people, animals, or
objects that may be damaged by
flying debris.
Wear ear protection if using the
blower for a prolonged period
of time.
Plug power cord into a properly
grounded outlet, grasp free end of
hose, and turn cleaner on.
Do not use blower to spray paint or
any other flammable or combustible
materials.
Storage
Empty tank (see Maintenance
section). Rinse inside of tank with
clean water before storing
particularly if kitchen spills or any
substance other than plain water
has been picked up. Wipe dry.
Loop cord over cord storage hook (C).
Slide wands into wand storage clip
(D) on sides of cleaner lid.
