Extension cord instructions

Use an outdoor, grounding type, SJT extension cord of 16 gauge (up to 35 feet) or 14 gauge (any length). The extension cord must employ a

3-prong grounding type plug and a

3-pole receptacle that accepts the machine plug.

Separate wet/dry tanks

This feature allows you to change from wet pick-up to dry pick-up without having to empty the tank or change filters. Dry debris will collect in the inner tank and wet debris will collect in the outer tank.

Wear ear protection if operating cleaner for a prolonged period of time.

Make sure that the small foam and cartridge filters are in place.

Wet pick-up

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.

With hose removed from cleaner, slide wet/dry selector (A) to expose “Wet tank inlet” (C). Selector will snap into place. Insert hose into “Wet tank inlet”.

Attach desired tool (with squeegee if available) to hose end.

Make sure cleaner lid is locked in place.

Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet and turn cleaner ON.

Do not use cleaner as a pump to clean out clogged drains, sinks, or other plumbing fixtures.

If cleaner will not pick up, check filters. They may need to be cleaned or replaced (see “Maintenance” section).

Single tank operation

For picking up very large amounts of debris (either wet or dry), the cleaner may also be operated without the inner tank in place.

Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet.

Remove inner tank and set aside.

Attach hose to either the wet or dry intake port. Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet and turn cleaner on.

When using single tank for dry pick-up, cartridge filter must be in place.

For best results, when using single tank for wet pick-up, use a HOOVER® foam filter sleeve instead of the cartridge filter. See

“Filters” in the Maintenance section for availability of HOOVER® filters.

Automatic wet shut-off

When either tank is full of liquid, the automatic shut-off mechanism will shut off cleaner pick-up. When this happens, the motor sound will become noticeably higher in pitch. Turn cleaner off and empty tank to continue use.

The automatic shut-off will also engage if the cleaner has been tipped over. To continue use, turn cleaner off, and set it upright. Wait a few seconds to allow the motor to come to a complete stop.

The automatic shut-off will function for both separate wet/dry tank and single tank operation.
