Using the provided wall mounting bracket, mark the drilling points on the wall.
Drill pilot holes and secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the appropriate hardware.
Carefully hang the vacuum unit onto the secured wall mounting bracket. The unit is designed to be easily detached for portability.

2. Hose and Accessory Connection

Connect the desired hose(s) to the vacuum's inlet port. The two secure-fit hoses can be connected together to achieve a total length of 21 feet.
Utilize the on-board accessory storage to keep attachments organized and readily accessible.

Operating Instructions

1. Dry Vacuuming

Ensure the washable cartridge filter is securely installed inside the vacuum and the foam sleeve is removed.
Connect the desired attachment (e.g., floor/utility nozzle, crevice tool, dust brush) to the end of the hose.
Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
Turn the vacuum ON using the power switch on the unit or the remote On/Off switch located on one of the hoses.
Begin vacuuming dry debris.
After use, turn the vacuum OFF and unplug it.

2. Wet Vacuuming

Remove the washable cartridge filter and install the foam sleeve over the filter cage.
Connect the desired attachment.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
Turn the vacuum ON using the power switch on the unit or the remote On/Off switch.

After use, turn the vacuum OFF, unplug it, and empty the tank.

3. Using the Remote On/Off Switch

One of the included hoses features a remote On/Off switch. This switch allows for convenient operation without needing to reach the main power switch on the vacuum unit. It remains active even when both hoses are connected.
