About the Vacuum Cleaner
To Connect Hose:
A metal quick disconnect hose adapter is standard
equipment with this vacuum cleaner. Simply push the
adapter onto the intake valve until the “ball bearings”
seat, then fit the hose connector over the end of the
adapter shank. Wands and/or tools are then fitted to the
opposite end of the hose.
Remove the metal hose adapter, use a twist and pull
action.
To Operate:
The vacuum cleaner is designed to perform as a wet/dry
unit.
Dry
With the Air Filter Assembly in place, the motor head
securely clamped, and the metal hose adapter connect-
ed to the inlet, plug the power cable into the proper out-
let. Select the appropriate hose, wand, and/or tool and
connect to the hose adapter. The vacuum cleaner is
ready for dry use.
Wet
Convert this vacuum cleaner from dry to wet pick-up by
substituting the Water Pick-up Adapter for the Air Filter
Assembly. the purpose is to provide protection for the
vacuum cleaner bypass motor. When the maximum
water level in the vacuum cleaner collection can is
reached, the safety valve (float) closes off suction, auto-
matically preventing further liquid intake.
NOTE: This will cause the motor to race. Turn off
motor, remove and empty collection can. Thoroughly
clean float assembly.
Replace Water Pick-up Adapter and motor head, then
clamp securely. The vacuum cleaner is ready for wet
use.
WARNING:
This vacuum is intended for indoor or outdoor use and
for wet pick-up, but is not intended to be exposed to rain.
Care and Maintenance:
Air Filter Assembly
The Air Filter Assembly with Never-Clog(R) Bag is the
standard filter unit shipped with this vacuum cleaner.
This filter consists of a moleskin bag and metal frame,
rubber gasket and dacron Never-Clog(R) Bag. This
dacron filtration fabric is designed to trap the minute dirt
and dust particles, minimizing the need for frequent
replacement of the moleskin filter. After each use, just
tap the Never-Clog(R) filter and the dust buildup falls
into the collection can.
The Never-Clog(R) filter is also washable. Carefully
remove the rubber gasket from the metal frame and
strip the filter bag. To replace, stretch the Never-Clog(R)
filter evenly around the rim of the metal frame, and then
secure with the rubber gasket.
NOTE: Gasket must be seated evenly on the rim of
the filter frame to insure proper vacuum seal. No lubri-
cation is required. Service of electrical parts must be
performed by an authorized service representative.
Water Pick-Up Adapter
Large quantity water pick-up REQUIRES the Water
Pick-up Adapter. The Water Pick-up Adapter is equipped
with a safety shut-off known as the float assembly.
IMPORTANT: Remove packing material from a new unit
before using and clean periodically to assure proper
action.
Motor Head
When removing the motor head, care in handling is
essential. Dropping, banging or other abuse may result
in a poor vacuum seal and a loss in suction power.
NOTE: When changing from wet to dry vacuuming,
always rinse the collection can with clean water. Dry the
tank and replace the Water Pick-up Adapter with the Air
Filter Assembly.
Storage:
Store in a dry location indoors. Wrap the cord carefully
around the vacuum head to avoid accidental damage.
WARNING:
Be sure the building voltage is the same as the voltage on the motor head nameplate
and that a proper ground exists.
