PUMP SET UP AND OPERATION (CONT'D.)
2. Remove all filters, except the foam sleeve. Ensure installation of the foam sleeve. Refer to the filter
installation and maintenance section for filtration installation instructions.
3. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in tank.
4. Insert tube into pick up cage. Push until tube comes to a stop.
5. Using pick up assembly from step 4, insert tube into hole, in the bottom of the
lid cage. Push until assembly comes to a stop. NOTE: Do not attempt to pump
without pick up cage in place or screen on pick up cage. Failure to do this could
result in damage to pump.
6. Replace tank cover and secure latches.
7. Remove outlet-fitting cap located on rear of tank cover. Connect a standard
garden hose onto outlet fitting. Place other end of garden hose at desired place
of drainage. The garden hose is not included with your vacuum.
8. Attach the hose to inlet on front of tank.
9. Place wet pick up elbow on the hose end, and attach desired accessory to
elbow. NOTE: Elbow must be in place during pump operation. Do not attempt
pump operation without elbow in place. Do not cover bleed hole in elbow. Failure
to follow these precautions will result in overfilling of unit and misting through
exhaust port.
OPERATION
1. Plug the cord into a wall outlet and push the ON switch button.
2. Start vacuuming up the liquid. When there is at least 4" (10 cm) of liquid in the bottom of the tank, the
unit will automatically begin pumping.
3. The unit will vacuum up the liquids faster than the pump removes the liquid from the tank. The unit will
automatically shut off when the tank becomes full.
4. To empty a full tank, remove vacuum hose from the liquid. Do NOT lift the hose to drain the remaining
liquid into the tank. This will cause the unit to overfill and misting through the exhaust port will occur.
5. The ON/OFF switch must be manually held in the ON position for approximately 10 to 15 seconds to
allow the water level to be reduced sufficiently and then pumping will continue automatically. Once the
vacuum is pumping automatically, release the switch and allow it to operate on its own. ATTENTION:
HOLD SWITCH IN ON POSITION ONLY UNTIL WATER STARTS TO FLOW CONTINUOUSLY. RELEASE
SWITCH WHEN PUMPING BEGINS.
6. The unit will continue to discharge liquid until there is about 4" (10 cm) left in the tank. NOTE: If the unit
shuts off before liquid is pumped out, repeat steps 5 and 6.
7. When the level of liquid lowers and the unit stops pumping, repeat steps 2-7, to continue your cleaning
operation.
8. After the cleaning job has been completed, allow the liquid to be pumped until unit has stopped
pumping. There will be about 4" (10 cm) of liquid remaining in tank.
9. Make sure unit is in the off position. Disconnect plug from the wall receptacle and remove tank cover.
10. Remove and clean pump pick up assembly.
11. Empty remaining liquid from tank. Before storing the vacuum or using for dry pick up, clean and dry the
interior of the tank and the underside of the tank cover. Clean and allow the foam sleeve to dry.
