Description:
Each Renown wet vacuum features
an automatic float shut off system
designed to keep water and foam out
of the vacuum motor. The unique tip
and pour design makes draining into
tall slop sinks or toilets easy to do.
The large 1.33 HP vacuum motor provides superior suction resulting in dry,
readily usable floors. The dry filter bag
element converts this tip and pour
vacuum into a dry vacuum for the
appropriate applications. A drain hose
is attached to the front of the machine
for convenient draining. A 24-inch front
mounted squeegee and contractor
tool kit is included with each machine.

molded tank has 12-year warranty.

dust from exiting vacuum when used
