Thank you for purchasing your Earlex Wet & Dry Vacuum & Blower System. This
product can be used all around the home, garage, workshop and garden.
Dry Mode
– picks up all kinds of dry material such as dust, nails, broken glass, leaves,
litter and wood shavings.
Wet Mode
– picks up various types of liquid spills and can help to
unblock sinks.
Blow Mode
– collects leaves into piles and dusts out garages/
workshops.
Due to the heavy duty nature of a wet & dry vacuum 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.
