AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
This vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off float cup which is locat-
ed inside the filter cage which floats upward and stops the suction action when the
tank has reached its maximum capacity of liquid. Make sure the float cup is moving
freely and clean at all times.
When automatic suction shut-off is activated, the vacuum On/Off switch is automat-
ically set to the Off position and vacuum shuts off. Perform the following:
1. Turn off the vacuum immediately and unplug the power cord from the power
source.
2. Remove the vacuum powerhead and set aside and empty the tank contents from
liquid.
3. Make sure that inside of the tank and filter are clean. Reinstall the powerhead.
4. Plug the power cord into the power source and continue vacuuming.
This feature also is activated when vacuum is accidentally tips over on its side
during operation. If that happens, lift and set the vacuum on its wheels, set the On/
Off switch to Off position, wait for a few seconds for the float cup to fall down inside
the filter basket to unblock the internal vacuum port. Finally set the On/Off switch to
On position and continue vacuuming.

EMPTYING THE TANK
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting unplug the power cord
before emptying the tank.
To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a vac with liquid or debris.
Scoop or drain enough contents out to make the vac light enough to lift comfortably.
AUTOMATIC RESET THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with an Automatic Reset Thermal Protector. This
thermal protector is designed to protect your vacuum cleaner motor from overheat-
ing due to a non-stop vacuuming operation in hot environment or due to a cut-off
in airflow (i.e. over–filled bag/tank, clogged filter, clogged hose/nozzle or clogged
powerhead air inlet/outlet). Should this situation occur, the thermal protector safely
shuts off the vacuum cleaner automatically to prevent any potential damage to the
motor.
If vacuum cleaner stops due to overheating:
1. Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from power.
2. Set the vacuum On/Off switch to Off (O) position.
1. The vac comes equipped with a drain
for easy emptying of liquids. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and lift the
opposite side slightly to empty the
tank.
2. Another option is to remove the
powerhead assembly.
3. Dump the tank contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
4. Clean the interior of vacuum if neces-
sary and reinstall the powerhead.
