Carrying Handle
CAUTION: Do Not attempt to carry wet/dry vac by lid or detachable blower handle. Only use carrying handles
molded onto tank.
Automatic Suction Shut-Off
NOTE: The unit must be used in upright position at all times, otherwise the ball float will automatically shut-off the
suction.
The automatic suction shut-off functions when tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills, the ball float (inside cage) rises
until it seats itself against bottom of motor. This shuts off the suction causing the motor sound to become higher in
pitch. When this happens, empty 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 ball drops; restart the motor.
