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

2. Transport machine to nearest floor drain or bucket.

of the tank.

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.
