Reliable, cost-efficient cleaning!

Versatile performance and superior
filtration deliver a cost-efficient
cleaning solution

The new line of Advance VL500™ wet/dry vacuums is

designed to accommodate virtually any cleaning

requirement. Available in three models—9, 14 and
19 gallon tank congurations—the VL500 wet/dry

vacuum applications range from small office
environments to large education and healthcare facilities.
Designed with a superior filtration system, easy-to-use
features and multiple accessories, operators are
guaranteed to find a wet/dry vacuum to fit their
cleaning program.

Flexible operation

With three unique models to select from, the VL500

series delivers unprecedented cleaning flexibility.

Equipped with a front-mount squeegee and 19 gallon
tank, the VL500-75 is ideal for picking up wet matter

when stripping with floor stripper and a floor machine.

Plus, an exclusive ERGO “tip n pour” design makes wet
pick-up and emptying easy. For emergency spills and

floods, the VL500-55 delivers the power and functionality

when you need it. Featuring a hose, wand, squeegee

floor tool, brush floor tool and optional front-mount

squeegee, you can quickly clean up any unwanted

messes. When dirt or dust is the primary issue, the

VL500-35 offers quality ltration and dust capture, in

addition to crevice and dusting tools. Operators can also
employ the VL500-35 for wet applications.

Superior filtration

Featuring a unique lter system, the VL500 series offers

one solution for both wet and dry filtration. Designed with
three durable components, the filter completely seals the
entry to the motor, protecting the motor from dust, debris,

water or other liquids. Once the job is complete, the lter

can be easily lifted out of the vacuum for a simple rinse,

then replaced and ready for the next job in a matter

of minutes.

Easy operation

The VL500 wet/dry vacuums offer simple and reliable
operation. The 14 and 19 gallon congurations feature a

balanced wide stance for superior maneuverability, while

the lightweight design of the 9 gallon model ensures easy
transportation. For enhanced performance, the VL500

series offers a variety of standard and optional accessories,

ranging from hoses and wands to squeegees and

dusting tools.
