Disclaimer:
Clean Direct / SkyVac® high-reach poles are not designed or certified for use in combustible dust environments. Use of this equipment in such conditions may result in serious injury, property damage, or other hazards.
Please note that carbon fiber poles are electrically conductive. Operators should exercise extreme caution when using this product around any electrical source, including overhead power lines, outlets, equipment, or during outdoor use in storms or wet conditions.
The operator assumes all risks associated with using this product outside its intended purpose and operating guidelines.
Note: While the SkyVac Interceptor is powerful for outdoor gutter cleaning and certain exterior high-reach jobs, it is not the best choice for indoor high dusting. Because it is gas powered, the engine must remain outdoors, hose reach is limited, and the Interceptor is not set up like a dedicated indoor dusting machine with disposable dust bag collection. It is also built around gutter cleaning tooling, while effective indoor dusting usually requires specialized internal angles, brushes, and filtration. For customers focused on interior high dusting, Clean Direct recommends a dedicated electric high-dusting system with dust bag compatibility and tools designed specifically for indoor overhead cleaning.

Manuals
SkyVac® Interceptor Gutter Vacuum Manual
The SkyVac® 85 Elite is the ultimate mobile gutter cleaning system, designed for professional and industrial use. With three powerful 1,100-watt motors and patented POWERMIX technology, it delivers exceptional wet and dry vacuum performance—providing up to 145 inches of water lift to tackle even the most stubborn gutter blockages.
Its cyclonic side-entry port prevents filter clogging, while the 16-gallon stainless-steel drum on a tilting chassis makes emptying fast and easy. The system now includes a wire-reinforced suction hose and the 135º Hairpin Neck Tool for enhanced durability and efficiency.
⚠️ Please Note: This system requires a 220-240V electrical source, typically powered by a generator with a minimum of 6500 peak or starting watts. The SkyVac® 85 Elite comes with a standard North American L14-30, 4-prong twist-lock plug. We recommend a generator with slightly higher output, as not all generators perform equally.

Note: For SkyVac 85 owners who want to handle high dusting, Clean Direct offers an internal conversion option that transforms the Industrial 85 into a high-level indoor cleaning setup. The conversion kit uses an internal drum that accommodates dust bags and can be paired with internal cleaning tools for easier access to overhead dust. Customers should note that the 3-motor 85 platform requires a 220 to 240V power source and uses a North American L14-30 4-prong twist-lock plug. If that facility power is not available, Clean Direct also offers dedicated 110/120V, 20A high-dusting alternatives, including a 2-motor system better suited to standard commercial power.
