WARNING: Before assembling the Wet/Dry vac make sure that the power

cord is not plugged into a power outlet.

WARNING: Wear heavy duty protective gloves when performing the caster

insertion procedure to prevent cutting or puncturing palm of hand with the

driving end of the screwdriver.

1. Verify that the power cord is

disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 1)

2. Undo the latches and lift the power

head off of the collection tank.

(Fig. 2)

3. Remove the hardware package from

inside the collection tank. (Fig. 3)

4. Place the collection tank upside

down to insert the casters into the

sockets on the bottom. Put on a

pair of heavy duty protective gloves.

Place a screwdriver between the two

wheels on the bottom of the caster

as illustrated. Place hands on each

side of the screwdriver (handle side

and driving side), with the middle of

the screwdriver rod between the two

caster wheels, and press downward.

This distributes the force evenly and

provides extra leverage to insert

caster into position. Support the

collection tank to prevent it from

tipping when pressing in the casters.

5. Insert the handle into the slots

located on the top of the power

head (Fig. 5)

6. Align the power head clasps with the

catches on the collection tank. Snap

power head into place by applying

pressure until the clasps click over

the catches. (Fig. 6)

7. Insert the large end of the hose into

the vacuum port on the front of the

collection tank.

8. Choose the desired accessory and

insert onto the end of the hose.

(Fig. 8)

9. After vac use, store hose,

accessories and cord as illustrated

on page 12.

Note that a static discharge chain is

attached to the bottom of the tank. It

is normal for this chain to drag on the

ground. Operating the vacuum in dry

conditions can build up static, and the

chain helps dissipate any build-up by

allowing a path of least resistance for

the static to discharge to the ground.
