SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock should the machine malfunction, the machine
has a special grounding plug. Do not remove the
grounding pin under any circumstances!
This machine is intended for commercial use. It is
constructed for use in an indoor environment and
is not intended for any other use. Use only
recommended accessories.
All operators shall read, understand and exercise
the following safety precautions:
1. Do not operate machine:
– Unless trained and authorized.
– Unless you have read and understand the
operators manual.
– In flammable or explosive areas.
– With damaged or modified cord or plug.
– If not in proper operating condition.
– In outdoor areas.
– In standing water.
– Without filters in place.
– With the use of unapproved extension cords.
2. Before operating machine:
– Make sure all safety devices are in place and
operating properly.
3. When using machine:
– Mix and handle any chemicals according to
manufacturer’s recommendations.
– Do not run machine over cord.
– Do not pull machine by cord or plug.
– Do not pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
– Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.

OPERATION OF WET & DRY VACUUM
www.GoRenown.com
5
Read operators manual thoroughly prior to
operating or servicing this machine!
WET PICKUP
1. Remove vacuum head and remove the cloth or
paper filter from vacuum, install the blue bubble
buster filter.
2. While vacuum head is removed, check to make
sure that the float shut-off is unobstructed and
fully functional.
3. Replace vacuum head and latch it in place.
4. Connect vacuum hose to inlet on the front of the
machine body.
5. Attach appropriate accessory tool for the job to be
completed.
6. Plug power cord into a grounded outlet.
Do not use an extension cord in
conjunction with the standard power cord.
7. If using the front-mounted squeegee assembly,
be sure that squeegee is attached to front of
machine.
8. If using the front-mounted squeegee assembly,
lower squeegee to the floor by depressing the top
half of the pedal (rear of the machine) forward with
your foot.
9. Turn power switch to “on” position.
10. During wet pickup, the float shut-off will
automatically prevent water from entering the
recovery tank once the recovery tank is full.
If foam develops in the recovery tank during wet
vacuuming, use de-foamer chemical to help
eliminate the foam. Foam will not activate the
float shut-off, and therefore, may cause vacuum
motor damage.
11. To raise the squeegee assembly back to transport
position, depress the bottom half of the pedal
(rear of the machine) downward with your foot.
Be sure that the handle is properly assembled
on machine body prior to operating machine.
The Renown wet & dry vacuum includes the
GV25014 “bubble buster” blue nylon foam
suppression bag. This bag must be used in all
wet pick-up applications. Failure to use the bag
will void the warranty on the vacuum motor.
DRY PICKUP
1. Remove vacuum head and bubble buster, and be
sure the cloth or paper filter is properly installed.
Do not operate machine without bag or filter
properly installed.
2. Replace vacuum head and latch it in place.
3. Connect vacuum hose to inlet on the front of the
machine body.
4. Attach appropriate accessory tool for the job to be
completed.
5. Plug power cord into a grounded outlet.
Do not use an extension cord in conjunction with
the standard power cord.
6. Turn power switch to “on” position.
7. Check the filter bag periodically to see if it is full.
For optimal performance, replace bag when it is
3/4 full.
DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK
1. Unplug machine from power outlet.
2. Transport machine to nearest floor drain or bucket.
3. Remove drain hose from rear of machine. Remove
ball plug from drain hose, and drain the contents
of the tank.
4. After the contents have drained, remove the vacu-
um head and rinse recovery tank with clean water.
5. Replace the ball plug on the drain hose and hang
hose back on the rear of the machine.
To prevent odors in the recovery tank,
remove the vacuum head when machine is not
in operation to allow air to circulate.

MAINTENANCE
To keep the machine performing well for many
years, please follow the following maintenance
procedures.
Always confirm that the machine is unplugged
prior to performing any maintenance or repairs.
1. Drain and rinse recovery tank after each use.
2. Clean float shut-off after each use.
3. Check bag to see if it is full after each use.
Replace bag when it is 3/4 full.
4. Clean outside of machine with a mild cleaner.
5. Check power cord for any damage. If any damage
is found, replace power cord with approved cord.
6. Clean squeegee blades with a damp cloth.
Do not use your fingers to wipe the blades.
7. Check vacuum hose for holes and clogs.
8. Lubricate wheels, casters and axles with a water
resistant lubricant every month.
9. Check machine for loose or missing nuts and
bolts, and replace as necessary.
After each use in a wet pick-up application,
remove the GV25014 “Bubble Buster” blue nylon
foam suppression bag and rinse it with clean
water. This will aid in preventing any build-up
which can reduce air flow.

3. Store with squeegee assembly off the ground.
4. Store with vacuum head off unit so that tank may
