Setup
1. Initial Charging:
Before first use, fully charge the SCOVAC device. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the device's charging port and the other end to the 12V car charger adapter or a compatible USB-C power source. The charging indicator lights will provide status. A full charge ensures maximum battery life for initial operation.
2. Filter Installation:
Ensure a HEPA filter is correctly installed in the dust cup before operation. The device comes with one filter pre-installed. To access or replace the filter, twist the dust cup counter-clockwise to detach it from the main unit.
3. Attaching Accessories:
Select the appropriate attachment for your task. Firmly push the desired nozzle or brush onto the vacuum's intake or exhaust port until it is securely in place. For inflation/deflation, use the specific nozzles on the exhaust port.
Operating Instructions
The SCOVAC features two power modes: Eco and Turbo. Press the power button once for Eco mode, and a second time for Turbo mode. Press a third time to turn off the device.
Vacuum Function:
Attach a vacuum nozzle (e.g., crevice tool, brush tool) to the intake port. Select Eco mode for general cleaning or Turbo mode for stronger suction on stubborn debris like pet hair or larger crumbs. Direct the nozzle over the area to be cleaned. The device is effective for car interiors, small spills at home, or office desks.

Air Duster Function:
Attach a suitable nozzle to the exhaust port. Use the duster function to clear dust from keyboards, delicate electronics, or hard-to-reach areas. The airflow can dislodge debris without direct contact.

Inflator Function:
Attach the appropriate inflator nozzle to the exhaust port. Select Eco mode for inflating items such as pool toys, air mattresses, or small inflatables. Ensure the nozzle fits snugly into the item's valve.

Deflator Function:

Maintenance
Emptying the Dust Cup:
Regularly empty the dust cup to maintain optimal suction power. Twist the dust cup counter-clockwise to detach it from the main unit. Dispose of collected debris. Reattach the dust cup by aligning and twisting clockwise until secure.

Cleaning the HEPA Filter:
The included HEPA filters are washable and reusable. After detaching the dust cup, carefully remove the filter. Rinse the filter under running water until clean. Allow the filter to air dry completely before reinserting it into the dust cup. Do not use the device with a wet filter.
