GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING YOUR WET/DRY VACUUM & GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1.   Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet (Fig. 1).

2.   Undo the latches (Fig. 2).

3.   Lift the power head off the collection tank (Fig. 3).

4.   Remove the contents from inside the collection tank; make sure you have all contents as listed 

on page 6 (Fig. 4).

5.   Turn the collection tank upside down and insert the four casters into the sockets on the bottom 

of the base. Press casters down until they snap into place (Fig. 5).

6.  Insert the handle into the slots located on the top of the power head (Fig. 6). Apply pressure 

until the handle snaps into place.

7.   Your vacuum comes ready for dry vacuum cleaning. If the reusable cloth filter is not installed, 

refer to page 12 for installation instructions (Fig. 7 & 8).

8.   For wet vacuum cleaning, remove the reusable cloth filter, and install the supplied foam wet 

filter. See page 12 for the foam wet filter installation instructions (Fig. 9).

9.   Place the power head back on the collection tank and secure into place using the latches (Fig. 10).

10. Insert the locking end of the hose into the vacuum port on the collection tank and turn clockwise to 

lock into place (Fig. 11).

11. Choose the desired attachment and insert onto the end of the hose or extension wand (Fig. 12).

NOTE: 

An anti-static 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 it a path of least resistance to the ground.

WARNING: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO A POWER OUTLET. MAKE SURE 

THE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VACUUM. TO 

REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 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. Double insulation        eliminates the need for the three wire 

grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
