Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner
This vacuum cleaner is a high quality, precision made
product. All parts used in the manufacturing of this
vacuum cleaner have passed rigid quality control
standards prior to assembly and an “each unit” final
inspection prior to packaging is your assurance of
proper assembly. This vacuum cleaner was protectively
packaged to prevent possible damage in transit. Should
damage occur, please notify the transporting carrier
immediately for loss and\or claim.
ABOUT THE MACHINE
TO CONNECT THE HOSE
Insert the hose end into the tank inlet until it clicks. To
remove the hose, press the button on top of the hose
inlet, and remove hose.
TO OPERATE
The vacuum cleaner is designed to perform as a
wet/dry unit. The cloth bag is used for dry operation
only and must be removed from the tank prior to wet
pickup.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (45-10P Only)
Insert casters into sockets on bottom of canister. Push
casters until seated. Attach hose to coupling on front
of can.
MAINTENANCE
This vacuum cleaner contains no user serviceable
parts. If repair is needed, please take the vacuum
cleaner to an authorized Pullman-Holt factory service
center.
CAUTION
Do not use this vacuum to pick up hazardous
materials without HEPA filter being installed.
FOR DRY PICKUP (*45-10P)
Install paper bag on inlet inside of tank.* Insert the
cloth filter assembly in the top of the tank. Install
motor head. The cloth filter located inside the can
provides highly efficient separation of dust and dirt
particles from the incoming air stream.
FOR WET PICKUP
Remove paper bag and cloth filter from tank. Make
sure foam filter sleeve is installed on float assembly.
Make sure float moves freely. When the liquid level in
the tank rises to a point just below the inlet, the float
assembly shuts off air flow, thus preventing overflow
and possible damage to the vacuum motor.
CAUTION: A disposable paper bag cannot be
used during liquid pick up.
CAUTION
Never lubricate the vacuum cleaner motor. The
motor bearings are permanently sealed. This
vacuum is intended for indoor or outdoor use
and for wet pickup, but it is not intended to be
exposed to rain.

HEPA Filter System:
Description: The air seal gasket between the canister and the
motor head forms a positive air seal.
• The paper filter bag provides primary filtration.
• The cloth filter provides secondary filtration.
• The HEPA filter provides the final filtration.
Disposable Bag Changing:
The recommended bag replacement procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the motor head from the unit.
2. Tape a 6 mil. poly bag over the can rim so that the paper
bag is completely enclosed.
3. Using the poly bag as a glove disengage the paper bag
from the can vacuum inlet system.
4. Seal the poly bag securely and dispose of as prescribed
by law.
5. Attach a new paper bag securely to the can inlet.
6. Replace the motor head and secure the clamps.
7. Thoroughly vacuum the work area to recover any dust
that may have been dropped.
Filter Assembly
Filter Maintenance:
If the vacuum cleaner begins to show a loss of performance
replace the paper collection bag. If the loss of performance
has not improved clean or replace the cloth secondary filter.
To install the cloth secondary filter place the cloth filter bag
over the barrel of the HEPA filter taking care to cover the
secondary filter retaining groove with the cloth filter bag.
Work the rubber band up the outside of the cloth filter bag
and place it in the secondary filter retaining groove. If the
performance still has not improved it may be time to replace
the HEPA filter.
The HEPA filter is a sealed unit and can not be cleaned.
Periodically make a visual inspection of the filter for
excessive amounts of debris. If the filter media appears to be
clogged, has a hole, or has changed color (the media should
be white) replace with a new HEPA filter.
