Using Your Pump Accessory

Turn on the unit by pushing the switch
from position "O" to position "l". The
symbols used on the switch actuator are
international "On & Off" symbols. "O" is
the symbol for "OFF" and "l" is the
symbol for "ON".
= OFF
Your Pump Accessory will work best
when being used to pump large amounts
of liquid. 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
operate properly if your vac is running.
1. Make sure that your pump is
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 locat-
ed 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: To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock, do not run vac
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 that my have
collected on or near the strainer of the
pump. Reinstall the powerhead and
repeat steps 2 through 5 as required.
