GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
– IMPROPER CONNECTION Of THE EQUIP-
MENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK Of ELECTRIC
SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIfIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON
If YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE OUTLET IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIfY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE APPLIANCE
– If IT WILL NOT fIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED
BY A QUALIfIED ELECTRICIAN.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
sketches B and C may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B
if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (sketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug or
the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
IN CANADA, ThE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY ThE CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor
grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheat-
ing. Use the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating of your
vacuum, refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover.
Before using appliance, inspect
power cord for loose or exposed
wires and damaged insula-
tion. Make any needed repairs or
More
replacements before using your
appliance. Use only three-wire out-
door extension cords which have
three-prong grounding-type plugs
and three-pole receptacles which
accept the extension cord's plug.
When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with the
liquid.
NOTE: STATIC ShOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS OR WhEN ThE RELATIVE hUMIDITY OF ThE AIR
IS LOW. ThIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT ThE USE OF ThE APPLIANCE. TO REDUCE
ThE FREqUENCY OF STATIC ShOCKS IN YOUR hOME, ThE BEST REMEDY IS TO ADD MOISTURE TO
ThE AIR WITh A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED hUMIDIFIER.

MOUNTING WALL BRACKET
(Not standard with all models)
1. Select mounting location at a wall stud and/or provide a surface which is strong enough to
hold the combined weight of the vacuum with a full tank of debris and accessories.
WARNING
UNIT TO fALL, CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
2. Secure wall bracket to mounting surface with 2 screws provided or other suitable fastener.
(NOTE: The screws provided are adequate ONLY for mounting into wood. Be sure to use the
proper, suitable fasteners for mounting vacuum to a surface other than wood.) Be sure wall
bracket is level (figure 1).
3. Install vacuum by aligning groove on either side of tank to engage as the vacuum is lowered
onto the wall bracket (figure 2).
4. To avoid possible injury or damage by dislodging vacuum from wall bracket or dropping tank
during unlatching, always remove the entire vacuum from wall bracket and set on floor to
empty tank or service filter.
5. Before removing vacuum from wall bracket, check to make sure tank cover is secured to tank.
To remove vacuum from wall bracket, grasp top handle with one hand and tank bottom with
other hand. Slide vacuum off of wall bracket by lifting straight up on vacuum (figure 3).

DRY PICK UP OPERATION
WARNING
WAll outlet befoRe RemovING the tANk coveR.
1.
Install foam sleeve and disposable filter bag to pick up dust and dry material only. If the foam
sleeve has been used to pick up liquids, the foam sleeve must be cleaned and dried before
installing for dry pick up.
2.
With tank cover in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over lid cage pulling until
foam sleeve completely covers lid cage (figure 4).
3.
To install disposable filter bag, remove hose from inlet.
4.
Slide collar of filter bag into retainer guides (figure 5).
5.
When secured in place, expand bag and position around the inside of the tank. The dispos-
able filter bag should always be in position when using the foam sleeve for dry pick up.

EFFICIENCY OF THE VACUUM IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE FILTER. A CLOGGED
FILTER CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE CLEANER. CHECK THE
FILTER PERIODICALLY AND REPLACE AS REQUIRED.

WET PICK UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank. The vacuum requires only a minimum of conver-
sion when going from dry to wet pick-up. Wet pick-up requires the foam sleeve (not standard
on all models) to be in position over the lid cage. Do not use the reusable dry filter for wet
pick-up. Misting in exhaust air may occur if the foam sleeve becomes saturated during wet
pick-up. If misting occurs, remove and dry the saturated foam sleeve or replace with another
dry foam sleeve to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of liquid around the lid. Turn the
unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick-up job or when tank is full and ready to be
emptied. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interior of the tank should
be periodically cleaned.
The foam sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the following steps:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle before removing the tank cover. Place
tank cover in an upside down position. Remove foam sleeve by sliding it up and off the lid
cage.
2. Shake excess dust off foam sleeve with a rapid up and down movement.
3. hold foam sleeve under running water for a minute or two, rinsing from the inside. A water
wash is not always required, depending on the condition of the foam sleeve.
4. Gently wring out excess water, blot foam sleeve with a clean towel, and allow to dry. The
®
foam sleeve is now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage.
NOTE: WET PICK-UP ACCESSORIES ShOULD BE WAShED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER
PICKING UP WET, STICKY KITChEN ACCIDENTS. ThIS CAN BE ACCOMPLIShED WITh A WARM
SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
