IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ProTeam 3

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your

Wet/Dry Vacuum cleaner (“Vacuum”) works.

Safety Signal Words

DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in

death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in

minor or moderate injury.

When using your Vacuum, always follow basic safety precautions including the

following:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.

1. Read and understand this manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vacuum before

operating.

2. Use only as described in this manual.

3. Do not leave Vacuum running while unattended - you may fail to notice

important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction,

debris/liquid exiting the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop

using Vacuum if you notice these signs.

4. Do not leave Vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before servicing.

5. Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk

of fire or explosion, do not use near combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as

gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, coal

dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.

6. Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,

or hot ashes.

7. To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic or

hazardous materials.

8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or allow liquid to

enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

9. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or

near children.

10. Do not use with a torn filter or without the filter installed except when

vacuuming liquids as described in this manual. Dry debris ingested by the

impeller may damage the motor or be exhausted back into the air.

11. Turn off Vacuum before unplugging.

12. To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before

changing or cleaning filter.

13. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

14. Do not use with damaged cord, plug, or other parts. If your Vacuum is not

working as it should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left

outdoors, or dropped into water, call customer service.

15. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull

cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

16. Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vacuum with wet hands.

SP6768-3 PROTEAM 4 GALLON 10/22/12 7:01 PM Page 3

VACUUM SAFETY (Continued)

17. Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor

condition or too small in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce

the risk of these hazards, be sure the cord is in good condition and that liquid

does not contact the connection. Do not use an extension cord with conductors

smaller than 16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power loss, use a 14 gauge

extension cord if 25 to 50 ft long and 12 gauge for 50 ft or longer.

18. This Wet/Dry Vacuum is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate

grounding system. Use only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions

for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vacuums before servicing.

19. Do not put any object into ventilation openings. Do not vacuum with any

ventilation openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may

reduce air flow.

20. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and

moving parts.

21. To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

22. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to Vacuum, use only ProTeam

recommended accessories.

23. When using as a blower:

- Direct air discharge only at work area.

- Do not set down in liquid; electric shock could occur.

- Do not direct air at bystanders.

- Keep children away when blowing.

- Do not use blower for any job except blowing dirt and debris.

- Do not use as a sprayer.

- Wear safety eyewear.

24. To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear safety eyewear. The operation of any

utility Vacuum or blower can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes,

which can result in severe eye damage.

CAUTION:

- To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using for extended

time or in a noisy area.

- For dusty operations, wear dust mask, such as an N95 or P100 mask.

- Static shocks are common when the relative humidity of the air is low. Vacuuming

fine debris with your Vacuum can deposit static charge on the hose or Vacuum.

To reduce the frequency of static shocks when using this Vacuum, add moisture to the

air with a humidifier.

Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Vacuum:

WARNING - For your own safety, read and understand Owner’s Manual. Do not

run unattended. Do not pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic, flammable or other

hazardous materials. Do not use around explosive liquids or vapors.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock - do not expose to rain - store

indoors.

DOUBLE INSULATED - GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL PROTEAM REPLACEMENT PARTS.

ELECTRICAL CORD CARE

When vacuuming is complete, unplug the cord and wrap it around the motor cover.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their

service agent or by similarly qualified personnel to reduce the risk of accident.

NEVER stretch the cord tightly between the Vacuum and the outlet. A cord that is

stretched or pulled will not function properly and creates a danger.

After vacuuming, unplug the cord and wind it up as described on page 12.

DO NOT wind up the cord wrapping it around your hand and elbow.

Use only the designated ProTeam replacement cord.

FILTER ASSEMBLY/REPLACEMENT (cont.)

Removal and Installation of Qwik Lock™ Fine Dust Cartridge Filter

Filter Removal:

1. Hold the filter tabs of the Qwik Lock

filter in each hand (Figure D).

2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock

stud, which protrudes through the

integrated filter plate, lift up on

the filter tabs while pushing down

on the stud.

3. This action will cause the filter to

release from the filter cage. Slide

filter off cage.

Filter Installation:

1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock filter

over the filter cage and press down

on the outside edge of the filter until

the rubber gasket on the bottom of

the filter seats securely around the

base of the filter cage and against

the lid.

2. Align the small center hole in the top of the filter over the Qwik Lock™ stud on

the filter cage. Press firmly on top of the filter near the stud to allow the filter

to snap over the ball on the end of the stud. The filter is now attached.

NOTE: Failure to properly seat the bottom gasket could result in debris bypassing

the filter.

OPERATION

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vacuum:

• Do not leave Vacuum running while unattended - you may fail to notice important

signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid exiting

the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vacuum if you

notice these signs.

• Do not leave Vacuum plugged in when not in use.

• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.

• Do not operate Vacuum in areas with flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust in

the air. Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Flammable gases

and vapors include: lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints,

gasoline, alcohol, and aerosol sprays. Flammable dusts include: coal, magnesium,

aluminum, grain, and gun powder.

• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.

• Do not use Vacuum as a sprayer.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:

• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vacuum with wet hands.

• Do not service Vacuum while it is plugged in. If your Vacuum is not working as it

should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped

into water, return it to an authorized service center or call customer service.

• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good

condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.

• Do not vacuum toxic materials to reduce the risk of inhaling the vapors or dust.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Vacuum has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the

plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact

a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way.

After you plug the power cord into the

outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the

switch from position "O" to position "l".

The symbols used on the switch actuator

are international "On & Off" symbols

(Figure E).

OPERATION (Continued)

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The filter must be in correct position at all times to avoid leaks and possible

damage to Vacuum.

2. When using your Vacuum to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to

empty the tank and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak

Vacuum performance.

NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your Vacuum to

pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and will be very

difficult to clean.

WARNING: Do not operate without filter cage and float, as they prevent liquid

from entering the impeller and damaging the motor. For dry material pick-up, do

not operate without the filter in place to reduce the risk of damage to the motor.

Vacuuming Liquids

1. When picking up small amounts of liquid, the filter may be left in place.

2. When picking up large amounts of liquid, we recommend that the filter be

removed. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may

appear in the exhaust.

3. When the liquid in the tank reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism

will rise automatically to cut off airflow. You will know that the float has risen

because Vacuum airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch,

due to increased motor speed. When this happens, turn off the Vacuum and

empty the tank.

4. After using the Vacuum to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to avoid

possible mildew and damage to the filter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the Vacuum, do not run motor with float in raised

position.
