Using Your Pump Accessory

Turn the unit on by pushing the switch from

used on the switch actuator are interna-
tional "On & Off" symbols. "O" is the sym-
bol for "OFF" and "l" is the symbol for
"ON".

Your Pump Accessory will work best when
being used to pump large amounts of liq-
uid. If the liquid does not fill the drum so
that it covers the drain on the inside of
your Wet/Dry Vac, the pump may not
function properly.
Due to the function of Wet/Dry Vac and the
Pump Accessory, the pump will not oper-
ate properly if your vac is running.
1. Make sure
connected to the drain of your vac
(See Assembly), and that the GFCI is
functioning properly. If you require a
hose, connect it to the outlet of the
pump.
2. Close the shut-off valve and vacuum up
the intended liquid until your Wet/Dry
Vac stops picking up the liquid or until all
liquid is cleaned up.

3. Turn your vac off, allowing it to stop
completely. Position hose to the desired
location to empty drum contents. Open
the shut-off valve located between the
outlet of the Pump Accessory and the
garden hose.
4. Turn your pump on allowing it to pump
out as much of the liquid in the drum as
possible. When you notice that the pump
is no longer moving any water through
the hose and the speed of the motor
increases, turn the pump off.
WARNING: Do not leave pump
running while unattended.
5. To verify drum is mostly empty, unplug
the pump and vac, remove vacuum
powerhead and inspect the drum
contents. If liquid is still in drum, see
"Troubleshooting" section on page 10.
NOTE: Do not run pump dry or damage
may occur to internal components of the
pump.
6. Unplug the pump, unplug and remove
the powerhead of your Wet/Dry Vac and
clear any debris
collected on or near the strainer of the
pump. Reinstall the powerhead and
repeat steps 2 through 5 as required.
