1 teaspoon (5 ml) chlorine bleach into
the drum.

Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be stored properly inside the unit and the
hose should be stored as described in
this manual. Accessories should be kept
in the same area as the Vac so they can
be readily available. The Vac should be
stored indoors.

Wheels

Should your wheels squeak or become
hard to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle.

Liquids and corrosive debris should be
wiped off with a soft cloth should they
