IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GALLONS
"Tank Size" refers to the actual tank volume and does not reect capacity available during operation.
PEAK HP
"Peak Horsepower" is a term used in the wet-dry vac industry for consumer comparison purposes. It
does not denote the operational horsepower output of a wet-dry vac, but rather the horsepower output
of a motor, including the motor’s inertial contribution, achieved in laboratory testing. In actual use,
motors do not operate at the peak horsepower shown.

care not to damage the bag (Fig. 9).
NOTE: The dust collection bag is for dry pick-up only.
10. For wet vacuum cleaning, remove the cartridge lter, and install the supplied foam wet lter. See
page 21 for the foam wet lter installation instructions (Fig. 10).
11. Position the hose storage rack as illustrated. Squeeze the open sides of the hose storage rack
inward. Insert the hose storage rack into the channel on the front side of the powerhead just
above the top edge of the tank. Verify that the rack is secured in place as shown in (Fig. 11 & 12).
Then squeeze in the other hose storage rack and insert it into the corresponding channel making
sure it is secured.
12. Place the powerhead back on the collection tank aligning the top section with the latches, and
snap into place (Fig. 13).
13. Ensure the end of the cleaning solution tube is securely tted into the cleaning solution tank

IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely in
the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inow. The machine is tted with a
oat valve that stops the suction action when the collection tank reaches its maximum capacity. You
will notice an increase in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from
power supply, and drain the liquid. To continue vacuuming, replace the drain cap. After wet vacuuming,
turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the collection tank, clean, and dry the
inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam wet lter must be removed after wet vacuuming and the cartridge lter must
be installed before dry vacuuming again.

• For carpet cleaning it is recommended to remove all furniture from the room to be cleaned or move
it away from the cleaning area. Clean the whole carpet systematically in squares, using strokes of
approximately 5ft. (1.5m) each. This avoids walking over the cleaned carpet until it is completely dry.
• Start furthest away from the entrance of the room, extend the hose, and work backwards.
• Pull the carpet shampoo nozzle back towards you in approximately 5ft. strokes. Rell the cleaning
solution tank if the solution runs out.
•
Select the vacuum mode, indicated by the following symbol , to suck up the dirty solution. More
cleaning solution can be applied to heavily soiled areas. The dirty liquid is visible as it is sucked up
through the carpet shampoo nozzle. Stop vacuuming when the liquid being extracted is no longer dirty.
• Do not walk over or place furniture on the cleaned area until it is completely dry.
• The handheld shampoo nozzle is ideal for cleaning sofas, chairs, stairs and car interiors.
• The carpet shampoo nozzle is ideal for cleaning carpets.

IMPORTANT! Clean or change the lter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS USE THE
CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the cartridge lter, the
motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare lters on hand.
NOTICE! The lters included are made of high-quality materials designed to stop small dust particles.
The cartridge lter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge lter is necessary to pick up
dust. If the cartridge lter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difcult to clean. Handle the lter
carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the lters for tears or small holes. A
small hole can let dust pass through and out of the lter. Do not use a lter with holes or tears; replace
it immediately.

Before storing your vacuum, the collection tank should be emptied and cleaned. The accessories
should be cleaned and stored so they can be readily available when needed. Store the wet/dry
vacuum indoors.
REPAIRS
Repairs for this wet/dry shampoo vacuum should be performed only by qualied service personnel
