User manual DIRT HOUND DH05000

[. . . ] Model and serial number may be found on the handle. You should record model and serial number in a safe place for future use. For your safety, read this owner's manual carefully. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your wet/dry vacuum cleaner ("Vac") works. [. . . ] Uncoil that amount of power cord from the cord wrap. Drape the loose cord over the top of the vacuum and down the front. Grasp the handle with one hand and the bottom of the vac canister at its front foot with the other hand. Align the upper hook on the vac with the rectangular opening in the storage rack. Snap the power cord into the cord retainers in the front surface of the rack and loop around the cord keeper behind the wand storage area. The cord may exit on either the left or right side. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. Do not fasten power cord to wall in any way. WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock or fire, unplug vac when not in use. Excess cord should be wrapped over the hose storage rack and around the accessory storage bin. Several loops may be required to eliminate any tripping hazard created by a loosely hanging cord. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. With your right hand, raise the folding handle. With your left hand depress the release tab located on the upper left corner of the storage rack. Lift up on the handle, and pull the vac up and out of the storage rack. The hose has an adaptor that can be used to connect the hose to the female port on the vac or to the male end of another hose. Both 7 foot and 14 foot hoses can be used either connected together or independently from one another. The 14 foot hose has a locking adaptor at one end that will connect to the vac, and a friction fit connector at the other end, which will connect to all the 1-7/8 inch accessories or a second hose. The 7 foot hose has a locking end at both ends of the hose. The larger of these ends is sized to connect to the vac or to the friction fit end of the 14 foot hose and the smaller of these ends is sized to lock to all the 1-7/8 inch accessories. To connect these two hoses together, first connect the 14 foot hose to the wet/dry vac. Next connect the 7 foot hose to the 14 foot hose by inserting the friction end of the longer hose into the larger locking end of the shorter hose.
