IMPORTANT! The equipment and packaging material are not toys. Do not let children play with plastic bags, foils, or small parts. These items can be swallowed and pose a suffocation risk!

Operation

1. Start your engine and plug the vacuum's plug into your 12V DC socket.

2. Push switch to turn the vacuum on or off.

3. Direct the nozzle of the vacuum onto the area you wish to clean. NOTE: Clean the filters regularly between uses in order to optimize cleaning performance. NOTE: Empty the dust tank before it becomes overfilled.

WARNING! Never use the vacuum cleaner without its filter.

WARNING! Do not vacuum the following articles:

• Hot objects such as cigarette butts
• Sharp objects such as glass shards
• Corrosive liquids or solvents
• Combustible or explosive materials

CAUTION! This vacuum is only designed to clean up dry substances. Do not use it to clean liquids or wet substances.

Emptying the Dust Tank

4. To empty the dust tank, press the dust tank release button to detach the tank from the vacuum. Then simply pull out the HEPA filter and empty the dust tank. NOTE: Keep the detached dust tank facing upwards to prevent spilling its contents all over the place! NOTE: The filter is re-usable, do not throw it away when the product is being emptied.

5. Place the filter back into the dust tank and press firmly to ensure a secure fit. Place the dust tank back onto the vacuum until it "clicks" firmly into position. NOTE: It is very important that the filter is correctly in position before use.

6. Turn off and unplug when not in use.

Nozzle Attachments

Included with your handheld vacuum cleaner are three nozzle attachments for cleaning different areas and surfaces of your vehicle. Each can be attached directly into the vacuum or via the flexible extension hose for greater reach. NOTE: The extension hose can only connect to the vacuum on the end marked with an arrow, and connect to other nozzle attachments on the end without an arrow.

Maintenance

The filters are reusable and should be cleaned regularly using the included cleaning brush or rinsed with water. Optimum dust collection will only be achieved with clean filters. NOTE: After rinsing, allow filter to dry before placing back into the vacuum.

CAUTION! Do not expose the vacuum cleaner to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the unit will damage it.

CAUTION! Do not pull or yank on the power cord.

WARNING! Store the vacuum cleaner away from hot surfaces or under direct sunlight to reduce the risk of a short circuit.
