paper filter bag and fit cardboard collar onto the intake tube as
far as possible.
• If you plan to vacuum dry material and you are using the foam
sleeve, you must also use the cloth filter.

cally. The vacuum cleaner will continue to discharge liquid until
there is about 4" left in the tank.
NOTE: The vacuum cleaner is capable of wet vacuuming while
pumping. If the vacuum cleaner should shut off, the pick-up volume
may be greater than the discharge volume. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
3. After wet vacuuming and pumping has been completed, the remain-
ing liquid should be emptied from the tank and the pump pick-up
assembly should be removed and cleaned.
NOTE: Keep shut-off valve in the OFF position when not pumping.
Removing Liquid from the Vacuum Cleaner Tank Without Pump
1. Unplug vacuum cleaner.
2. Remove motor head and set aside.
3. Block wheels.
4. Carefully dump contents into a drain. Do not dump through intake
tube.
5. Rinse and dry tank.
NOTE: Do not store vacuum cleaner with liquid in tank. Run the
vacuum cleaner for about 10 minutes without picking up anything to
dry the inside of the tank and the filter cartridge.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
When vacuuming dry materials, either the filter cartridge or the foam
sleeve AND the cloth filter are required. The reusable dry disc filter
should always be in position over the foam sleeve for dry pick up. There
are other filters that can be used with the required filters to provide
additional filtration when vacuuming dry material. Follow the instructions
included with these filters. Empty tank and clean filter frequently. Be
sure filters are dry before using the vacuum cleaner to pick up dry
material. Dry material will clog wet filters and make them difficult to clean.
Starting and Stopping Vacuum Cleaner
1. To turn vacuum cleaner on, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
2. To turn vacuum cleaner off, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.

tridge filter should be removed and allowed to air dry for a 24-hour
period before being re-installed back into the filter cage.
