UNPACKING AND SETTING UP
1) Remove all packing materials and accessories and lift unit out of the box.
2) Release the two tank clips and lift the motor housing off from the recovery tank.
3) Remove all components from inside the tank.
4) Fit the castors to the outriggers. These should be pushed in hard until they stop. Turn the recovery tank
upside down and fit the outriggers to the tank. Once fitted these can remain in place permanently.
5) Push the Hose Inlet into the hole in the side of the Recovery Tank. The Hose Inlet must be pushed in
from the outside of the Recovery Tank ensuring that the lug on the side of the Hose Inlet is lined up
with the slot in the hole in the Recovery Tank. Grasp the Hose Inlet from inside the Recovery Tank and
pull with an up and down motion to engage. Make sure that the clips on the top and bottom of the
Hose Inlet are fixed into place inside the Recovery Tank. Once installed the Hose Inlet can remain in
place permanently.
6) Fit the outlet elbow to the outlet on the motor housing. The outlet elbow can be used to deflect airflow
from the motor away from the work area.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an Earlex Wet and Dry Vacuum. The uses for this product around the home,
garage, workshop and garden are numerous and we hope you will find the product is in constant use. This
cleaner can be used for picking up all kinds of dry material such as dust, brick dust, nails, broken glass,
leaves, litter, wood shavings etc. In wet mode it can pick up various types of liquid spills and help to
unblock sinks. In blow mode it can be used for jobs such as collecting leaves into piles, dusting out the
garage or workshop.
Due to the heavy duty nature of a wet & dry cleaner the motor may sound louder than your normal
cleaner. In order to be able to pick up liquids, a special by-pass motor is fitted so that the liquid can be
deposited into the recovery tank without going through the motor.
Before leaving our factory each unit has been checked to ensure that it meets our high safety, quality and
performance standards.
