Operation of Wet & Dry Vacuum
* Read operators manual thoroughly prior to
operating or servicing this machine.
WET PICKUP
1] Remove vacuum head and remove the cloth
or paper filter from vacuum, install the
bubble buster.
2] While vacuum head is removed, check to
make sure that the float shut-off is
unobstructed and fully functional.
3] Replace vacuum head and latch it in place.
4] Connect vacuum hose to inlet on the
machine body.
5] Attach appropriate accessory tool for the
job to be completed.
6] Plug power cord into a grounded outlet.
* Do not use an extension cord in conjunction
with the standard power cord.
7] If using the front-mounted squeegee
assembly, be sure that squeegee is attached
to front of machine.
8] If using the front-mounted squeegee
assembly, lower squeegee to the floor by
depressing the top half of the pedal [rear of
the machine] forward with your foot.
9] Turn power switch to “on” position.
10] During wet pickup, the float shut-off will
automatically prevent water from entering
the recovery tank once the recovery tank is
full.
* If foam develops in the recovery tank during
wet vacuuming, use de-foamer chemical to
help eliminate the foam. Foam will not activate
the float shut-off, and therefore, may cause
vacuum motor damage.
11] To raise the squeegee assembly back to
transport position, depress the bottom half of
the pedal [rear of the machine] downward with
your foot.
* Be sure that the handle is properly
assembled on machine body prior to operating
machine.
* The shovelnose wet –dry vacuum includes
the GV25014”bubble buster” blue nylon foam
suppression bag. This bag must be used in all
wet pick-up applications. Failure to use the bag
will void the warranty on the vacuum motor.
DRY PICKUP
1] Remove vacuum head and bubble buster,
and be sure the cloth or paper filter is
properly installed.
* Do not operate machine without bag or filter
properly installed.
2] Replace vacuum head and latch it in place.

machine body.
4] Attach appropriate accessory tool for the
job to be completed.
5] Plug power cord into a grounded outlet.
* Do not use an extension cord in conjunction
with the standard power cord.
6] Turn power switch to “on” position.

bucket.

the vacuum head and rinse recovery tank
with clean water.
