Using this 18 - gallon wet/dry vacuum is easy. First, connect the 10 - foot crushproof hose to the unit and attach the appropriate cleaning tool for the job, like the squeegee for wet messes or the crevice tool for tight spaces. Plug in the 25 - foot electrical cord and turn on the vacuum. When cleaning, move the tool slowly over the area to ensure thorough cleaning. For wet applications, be careful not to overfill the 13 - gallon water recovery capacity. If you're using the vacuum for dry debris, the hydro flow filter will trap most particles, but you can also use the optional HEPA filter for even better air quality. As for maintenance, regularly check the filter and clean or replace it as needed. The replacement paper filter bags come in packs of 10. Also, inspect the wheels and shafts for any signs of wear. When not in use, store the vacuum in a dry place. Note that if you choose one of the accessory options, some of the standard tools will be removed.
