IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including  
the following:  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIOWNS BAEFRORNE UISNINGGTHIS VACUUM CLEANER.  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.  
Use indoors only.  
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the  
electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.  
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near  
children.  
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturerʼs recommended  
attachments.  
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,  
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service  
center before using.  
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord  
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away  
from heated surfaces.  
Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding Instructions).  
Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.  
Turn off all controls before unplugging.  
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.  
Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.  
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free  
of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.  
This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts  
of body away from openings and moving parts.  
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or  
hot fireplace or barbeque ashes. Live sparks or embers could start a fire in waste  
material inside the tank.  
Do not use without ball float and cage in place.  
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.  
If the machine tips over during use, shut it off immediately, set it upright, and wait for  
the motor to stop completely. This allows the ball float to return to normal position and  
permits proper airflow through the cleaner.  
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in  
areas where they may be present.  
Store your cleaner indoors and in a cool, dry area.  
Keep your work area well lighted.  
Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.  
Do not use any cleaner marked flammable or combustible.

CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTS  
Lʼutilisation dʼun appareil électrique sous-entend lʼobservation de certaines règles de  
sécurité élémentaires:  
LIRE TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT DʼUTILISER LʼASPIRATEUR.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Pour réduire les risques de feu, de secousse électrique ou de blessure:  
Ne laisser pas sous la pluie. Ranger à lʼintérieur.  
Ne pas sʼabsenter tant que lʼaspirateur est branché. Éteindre lʼappareil et le  
débrancher lorsquʼon ne sʼen sert plus et avant son entretien.  
Veiller à ce que lʼaspirateur ne serve pas de jouet, particulièrement si lʼusager est un  
enfant ou si lʼon sʼen sert près dʼun enfant.  
Ne sʼen servir que selon la description quʼen donne le guide. Nʼemployer que les  
accessoires que recommande le fabricant.  
Ne pas sʼen servir si le cordon ou la fiche sont abîmés.Avant de se servir de lʼaspirateur,  
le retourner à un centre de réparation sʼil ne fonctionne pas comme il faut, sʼil est tombé  
ou abîmé, si on lʼa laissé dehors ou laissé tomber dans lʼeau.  
Ne pas le tirer ou le transporter par le cordon, ne pas se servir du cordon comme dʼune  
poignée, ne pas coincer le cordon en fermant une porte et ne pas tirer le cordon sur  
des encoignures ou des bordures pointues. Ne pas passer lʼaspirateur sur le cordon.  
Éloigner le cordon des surfaces chauffées.  
Branchez toujours lʼaspirateur dans une prise à trois (mise à la terre).  
Ne pas se servir de cordons de rallonge ou de prises dʼintensité admissible mal adaptée  
aux besoins.  
Éteindre complètement lʼaspirateur avant de le débrancher.  
Ne pas tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher lʼaspirateur. Le débrancher en tirant sur la  
fiche et non sur le cordon.  
Ne toucher ni à la fiche ni à lʼaspirateur avec les mains mouillées.  
Ne pas introduire dʼobjets dans les orifices. Ne pas se servir de lʼaspirateur avec une  
ouverture bouchée et en écarter poussière, charpie, cheveux et autres qui risquent  
de réduire la circulation de lʼair.  
Lʼaspirateur créé une aspiration. Cheveux, vêtements amples, doigts et dʼune manière  
générale tous les membres du corps doivent se trouver à lʼécart des pièces mobiles  
et des ouvertures.  
Ne rien ramasser de brûlant ou de fumant, comme par exemple mégots, allumettes ou  
cendres chaudes des cheminées ou des grilles. Des étincelles ou des braises peuvent  
commencer un feu dans les dégâts au dedans du réservoir.  
Ne pas sʼen servir sans le filtre du moteur ou que le filtre soit abîmé.  
Utiliser avec des lunettes protectrices ou éviter des bouffées dʼair car des poussières  
dans lʼair peuvent abîmer les yeux.  
Redoubler de prudence lorsquʼon aspire les escaliers.  
Si lʼaspirateur se renverse quand il est en usage, tout-de-suite il faut lʼéteindre, mettre- le  
à la position droite et attendre que le moteur sʼarrête complètement. Cela permettra que  
la flotteur retourne à sa position normale et laisse la normale circulation dʼair passée  
dans lʼaspirateur.  
Ne pas sʼen servir pour recueillir des liquides inflammables ou combustibles, tels  
lʼessence, et ne pas utiliser dans le endroits où ces produits risquent de se trouver.  
Ranger lʼaspirateur à lʼintérieur, au frais et au sec.  
Bien éclairer la surface de travail.  
Débrancher les appareils électriques avant de les aspirer.

TGhrisoaupnpldiainncge mInussttbrue cgrtoiounndsed. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding  
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.  
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and  
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly  
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.  
DANGER  
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric  
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether  
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it  
will not fit the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.  
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks  
like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter  
illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as  
shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should  
be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified  
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must  
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.  
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.  
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian  
Electrical Code.  
INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LA MISE À TERRE  
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas défaillance ou de panne éventuelles, la mise  
à la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le risque de  
choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu dʼun cordon muni dʼun conducteur de terre et  
dʼune fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans une prise appropriée  
correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux règlements et ordonnances  
municipaux.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique.  
Consulter un électricien ou un technicien dʼentretien qualifié si vous nʼêtes pas certain  
que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie avec  
lʼappareil-si elle ne peut être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate  
par un électricien qualifié.  
Note. Au Canada, lʼutilisation dʼun adaptateur temporaire nʼest pas autorisée par le  
Code canadien de lʼélectricité.  
Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120V et est muni dʼune fiche de mise à la terre  
semblable à celle illustrée par le Figure A. Sʼassurer que lʼappareil est branché à une  
prise de courant ayant la même configuration que la fiche. Aucun adaptateur ne devrait  
être utilisé avec cet appareil.

GENERAL INFORMATION  
Automatic Suction Shut-Off  
NOTE: Use the vacuum in the upright position. If the cleaner should tip, the  
automatic suction shut-off turns off the suction.  
The automatic suction shut-off functions when the tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills,  
the ball float (inside the cage) rises until it seats itself against air inlet. This shuts off the  
suction causing the motor sound to become higher in pitch. When this happens, empty  
the tank.  
The automatic suction shut-off also functions if the cleaner tips over. To continue use, turn  
cleaner off and set it upright. Wait a few seconds to allow motor to come to a complete  
stop so the ball drops. Restart the motor.  
Use this vacuum for wet pickup only.

HOW TO USE (continued)  
Begin Cleaning  
With the cleaning nozzle you may begin cleaning. By pulling the trigger, you will dispense  
the solution onto the desired area. Use a backstroke motion. Because the vacuum is on,  
the fluid will quickly be sucked back into the wand. Make several dry passes over the  
affected area to completely remove any excess moisture. You will notice that the area  
you have just cleaned will be damp. This is normal.  
Tips:  
If used to clean up spills or messes, clean up as much of the spill or mess using paper  
towels before final cleaning with the cleaner. If used on fine fabrics or upholstery, test  
for color fastness in an inconspicuous place before cleaning.  
Automatic Shut-Off  
NOTE: Always use the wet vacuum cleaner in the upright position. If cleaner tips  
over, the suction automatically shuts off.  
If the cleaner tips over:  
Turn off the power switch and set the cleaner upright.  
Wait a few seconds for the motor to come to a complete stop.  
Restart the motor.  
When the tank is full:  
As the tank fills with liquid, the ball float (inside the cage) rises until it seats itself  
against the bottom of the motor.  
The motor sound becomes a high pitch sound.  
The shut-off stops the suction.  
Turn off the power switch.  
Empty the tank (instructions follow).  
Empty Tank  
CAUTION:Turn off the power switch and unplug electric cord to service.  
Lift the hose and drain any liquid back into the tank.  
Empty contents into a suitable drain by unscrewing the drain plug. (See page 7.)  
Use special care when emptying full tanks with liquids. Quick removal of the drain  
plug can result in a sudden rush of liquid.  
Replace drain plug to continue cleaning.  
Clean and Store  
Note: Turn off the power switch and unplug electrical cord before cleaning tank.  
Empty tank of all liquid and thoroughly rinse inside before storing.  
Clean and dry tank and all accessories.  
Store indoors in a cool, dry area.
