IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the container with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a reusable cloth filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

For filter changing and maintenance see instructions on page 10.
IMPORTANT! Clean or change the dust filter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS USE A DUST FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used with out the dust filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on-hand.
NOTICE! The filter included is made of high quality material designed to stop small dust particles. The filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the dust filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears; replace the filter immediately if a hole or tear is found.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE POWER HEAD FROM CONTAINER. ANY OTHER SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.
