EMPTYING LIQUID WASTES FROM THE TANK
Not all units are equipped with tank drains. Follow the instructions,
which apply to your specific unit.
Without Tank Drain
Liquid waste may be emptied by removing the tank cover. To empty, stop the motor and
remove the plug from the wall receptacle. Remove the tank cover and deposit the liquid
waste contents in a suitable drain. After tank is empty, return the cover to its original position.
To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on.
With Tank Drain
Liquid waste may be emptied by removing the tank drain cap. To empty, turn unit off and
remove plug from wall receptacle. Remove the drain cap and deposit the liquid waste
contents in a suitable drain. After the tank is empty, return the drain cap to its original
position. To continue use, plug the cord into the wall receptacle and turn the unit on.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off that operates when picking up
liquids. As the level of the liquid rises in the tank, an internal float rises until it seats itself
against a seal at the intake of the motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the motor
will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and the suction is drastically reduced. If this
occurs, turn unit off immediately. Failure to turn unit off after float rises and shuts off suction
will result in extensive damage to the motor. To continue use, empty the liquid waste from the
tank as outlined in the previous paragraph.
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS
OCCURS, PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND TURN SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL ALLOW
THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE
OPERATION.
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
Before storing your vacuum cleaner the tank should be emptied and cleaned. The power cord
can be wrapped around the cord wraps provided on the tank cover on rear of unit (Figure 71).
Accessories may be stored in the tool holder (not standard on all models) so they can be
readily available. The vacuum should be stored indoors.
