When using electrical appliances, always follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY  
BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE  
• Do not use to pick up toxic substances, flamma-  
ble or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or  
operate in the presence of explosive or flamma-  
ble fumes. Although this vacuum is designed to  
pick up liquids, only the nozzle end of the bowl  
should be placed in a liquid. Do not immerse the  
entire vacuum in any liquid.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of  
fire, electrical shock or injury:  
• Do not operate in the presence of explosives  
and/or flammable fumes or liquids.  
• Close supervision is necessary when any appli-  
ance is used by or near children. Do not allow  
this vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy.  
• Do not use without bowl and filters in place.  
Clean bowl, pre-filter, filter cover, and foam filter  
(or HEPA filter) after picking up any perishable  
food items.  
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not  
put unit or charging base in water or other liquid.  
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking,  
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.  
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the  
vacuum as they may damage the vacuum and  
the filters.  
• Do not unplug the charger by pulling on the  
cord. Never carry the charger or base by the  
cord or yank to disconnect from an outlet;  
instead, grasp the charger and pull to discon-  
nect. Do not pull cord around sharp edges or  
corners.  
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of  
a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The  
vacuum should be placed or mounted away from  
sinks and hot surfaces.  
• The use of an extension cord is not recom-  
mended. Only plug the charger into a standard  
electrical outlet (120V/60 Hz).  
4
 
• Use only the charger supplied with this unit to  
recharge this vacuum.  
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any  
other product.  
• Never handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.  
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or charger.  
If this unit has been dropped into water, or if it  
malfunctions, return the unit to the store where  
it was purchased.  
• This product contains nickel-cadmium batteries.  
Do not incinerate the batteries as they will  
explode at high temperatures.  
Always dispose of the batteries in accordance  
with your state’s laws.  
• Leaks from a battery cell can occur under  
extreme conditions. If the battery liquid gets on  
skin, wash immediately with water. If it gets in  
your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with a  
mild solution of baking soda and water and seek  
medical attention.  
• Unplug the charger from outlet before any rou-  
tine cleaning or maintenance.  
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use  
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,  
lint, hair, or anything that may reduce airflow.  
• Do not operate vacuum without filters in place.  
Replace any damaged filter promptly.

The Charging Base recharges your DirtTamer  
Ultima® V2510 vacuum and stores the vacuum  
with its cleaning tools for convenient access.  
The Charging Base can be mounted vertically  
(see Figure A) or placed on a horizontal surface  
such as a counter, shelf, etc.  
5.Recheck that the hole alignment is straight, then  
drill the second hole and install the other Plastic  
Wall Anchor and Screw.  
6.Slide the Charging Base into place making sure  
the cord exits through one of the slots.  
If you choose to wall mount the Charging Base,  
please follow these steps:

1.Pick a convenient position within 6 feet of an  
electrical outlet. If the Charging Base will be  
mounted closer to an outlet, wrap any excess  
cord in the storage area on the back of the  
Charging Base. (Note: Do not use an outlet  
which is controlled with a wall switch).  
2. Place the Charging Base against the wall in the  
desired location and mark the center of each hole.  
3.Drill a 316” diameter hole through the center of  
the top mark. Push a Plastic Wall Anchor into the  
drilled hole.

Your DirtTamer Ultima® V2510 vacuum includes  
the following unique cleaning tools that will make  
your cleaning tasks easier.  
2. EXTENDIBLE WAND/CREVICE TOOL  
This “two in one” tool works great as a long  
reach cleaning wand or a crevice tool.  
To use as a long reach cleaning wand, simply  
extend the tool by pulling each end of the tool  
in opposite directions (the tool will expand like  
an accordion) and insert the larger end into the  
Bowl Nozzle. The wand is then ready for clean-  
ing hard to reach areas (e.g. ceiling corners,  
under appliances, etc.).  
1. SQUEEGEE  
This tool has rubber edges for picking up liquid  
spills on hard surfaces such as floors, counter-  
tops, etc. Attach the Squeegee to your vacuum  
by pushing the tool firmly into the Bowl Nozzle.  
To use as a crevice tool: simply compress the  
tool to your desired length and insert the larger  
end of the tool into the Bowl Nozzle. The crevice  
tool is then ready to use in tight places such as  
between car seats, in corners, etc.

3. UPHOLSTERY BRUSH  
Your DirtTamer Ultima® vacuum is equipped with  
a unique Dirt Finding Headlight which allows you  
to easily see dirt and dust under furniture or in  
dark corners.  
The headlight will operate when the vacuum is  
switched “On”.  
This tool is used for picking up dirt and dust  
debris from upholstery, tables, etc. Attach the  
Upholstery Brush to your vacuum by pushing the  
tool firmly into the Bowl Nozzle with the brush  
facing down.  
REPLACEMENT LAMPS FOR HEADLIGHT  
The lamp in your DirtTamer Ultima® headlight will  
last for years of normal household use.

3 - S T A G E F I L T R A T I O N S Y S T E M  
Dirt Tamer Ultima® has a revolutionary, patented  
3-stage filtration system that provides superior  
suction for a longer period of time.  
Stage 3: Fine dust/dirt particles are trapped by the  
standard Foam Filter (included), or, with  
the included HEPA filter, 99.97% of dust,  
pollen, bacteria and  
Stage1: Large particles of debris are separated  
from liquids and air. The large particles  
remain in the Pre-Filter for easy dis-  
posal (see “Maintenance” section of  
this manual for Pre-Filter and Bowl  
emptying instructions).  
other allergens down  
to 0.3 microns in size  
can be captured.  
Stage 2: Liquids and smaller dirt particles are sepa-  
rated from air and collected  
in the Bowl.

H O W T O U S E  
Remove your vacuum from the Charging Base  
and slide the On/Off Switch to the “On” posi-  
tion to operate. Slide the On/Off Switch to the  
“Off” position between cleaning tasks to con-  
serve power.  
PICKING UP LIQUIDS OR WET DEBRIS  
Use your vacuum to pick up liquids or wet debris.  
For ideal performance, we recommend the use of  
the Foam Filter for liquid debris.  
(a) For liquid pickups, insert the Squeegee into  
the Bowl Nozzle and pull the Squeegee  
through the liquid.  
PICKING UP DRY DEBRIS  
Use your vacuum for picking up dirt, dust, food  
crumbs, etc. from counters, bare floors, rugs, auto-  
mobile interiors, upholstered furniture, etc. After  
dry pickups, empty and clean the Bowl and Foam  
Filter before picking up liquid or wet spills.  
Note: If using a HEPA Filter in place of the Foam  
Filter, shake loose, or brush off any dust or debris  
from the HEPA Filter if you notice any build-up.  
DO NOT WASH OR RINSE THE HEPA FILTER, as  
this may damage the HEPA material.  
(b) Do not fill the Bowl beyond the end of the Pre-  
Filter (about 9 oz. of liquid). If there is any liq-  
uid in the Bowl, hold the Bowl Nozzle down to  
avoid leakage. Tipping the Bowl Nozzle up  
may cause the liquid to enter the fan area.  
(c) After picking up per-  
ishable spills (e.g.  
milk, juice, etc.),  
empty your vacuum’s  
Bowl and Pre-Filter  
If the HEPA Filter accidentally gets wet from vac-  
uuming wet spills, remove the HEPA Filter, pat it  
dry with a paper towel, and allow it to thoroughly  
air dry before next use.

oughly clean the

Cover and Foam Filter  
to prevent mold and  
mildew from forming.
