Operating Instructions

Your VEVOR Shop Vac offers versatile cleaning capabilities for both wet and dry applications, as well as a blower function.

Dry Vacuuming

Ensure the High-Efficiency Filter and Non-Woven Bag are correctly installed. Select the appropriate nozzle for the surface you are cleaning. Turn the power switch to 'ON' to begin vacuuming dry debris such as dust, dirt, and pet hair.

Wet Vacuuming

Before wet vacuuming, remove the High-Efficiency Filter and Non-Woven Bag, and install the Sponge Filter. This prevents damage to the dry filters and ensures proper liquid collection. Use the appropriate nozzle for liquid spills. Turn the power switch to 'ON' to vacuum liquids. The vacuum will automatically shut off when the liquid reaches its maximum capacity.

Blower Function

To use the blower function, detach the hose from the suction port and securely insert it into the exhaust port located on the motor head. This allows you to blow away leaves, debris, or dry surfaces. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions before activating the blower.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your vacuum cleaner.

Emptying the Canister

After each use, especially after wet vacuuming, empty the canister. Unclip the motor head, lift it off, and dispose of collected debris or liquid. Clean the inside of the canister with water and mild detergent if necessary, then dry thoroughly before reassembly.

Filter Cleaning and Replacement

• High-Efficiency Filter (Dry): For dry use, tap the filter gently to dislodge dust. For deeper cleaning, rinse with water and allow to air dry completely before reinstalling. Replace if damaged or if suction power decreases significantly.
• Sponge Filter (Wet): After wet use, rinse the sponge filter with water and allow it to air dry completely before storing or reinstalling.
• Non-Woven Bag: Replace the non-woven bag when it is full or when suction power is reduced.

Hose and Attachment Care

Inspect the hose and attachments for blockages or damage. Clear any obstructions and clean attachments with water if needed. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
