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.

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.

um head and rinse recovery tank with clean water.

hose back on the rear of the machine.
To prevent odors in the recovery tank,
