Paddock Industrial Wet Dry Vacuum

1. Introduction

A powerful, heavy-duty, yet affordable industrial wet/dry vacuum. With massive twin motors, the Paddock vacuum cleaner will get the job done. Designed as a standalone vacuum or to be run off a range of equipment requiring dust suppression. An economical alternative to Kerrick and Hilti industrial vacs.

Paddock Industrial Vacuum Cleaner & Dust Extractor

• Supplied as a full kit - ready to use!
• Operates as a wet & dry vacuum
• Massive twin 1200W motors
• Runs on a standard household power socket
• Simple to service and maintain

The Paddock industrial vacuum is built for tough dust and water extraction jobs. A heavy-duty polyethylene tank is mounted on a sturdy trolley and frame. Swivel wheels and oversized rear wheels make the vac portable and easy to pull along, even on rough surfaces. The head unit is attached with two large fasteners giving quick access to the filter. When operating as a wet vacuum, the tank can be quickly emptied using the external waste removal hose. A simple to use switch panel allows each of the two motors to be operated independently, giving varying levels of suction. Supplied with the vacuum kit is a 3m kink-resistant vac hose and two heads (1x wet head, 1x dry head). The hose end is an industry standard 40mm diameter which suits many brands of equipment requiring dust extraction. For products not supporting the 40mm connection, a simple vacuum adapter can be used. The other end of the hose is a quick lock fitting that is securely attached to the industrial vacuum, providing an excellent seal.

Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Paddock industrial vacuum. This manual is an important part of your machine. It provides critical safety information and operating instructions to help you use and maintain your machine safely and correctly.
