7. WET VACUUM CLEANING
7.3 To the same flexible hose as used in dry cleaning fit the
desired nozzle.
7.4 Ensure the switch is ‘Off’ (position ‘0’) before plugging into
the power supply.
7.5 Press the switch to ‘On’ (position ‘I’).
Note: To vacuum large quantities of liquid, from a sink or
tank etc, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid,
leave a gap at the top of the nozzle opening to allow an air
inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve which stops
the suction action when the tank has reached its maximum
capacity. The user will notice an increase in motor speed.
When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from
power supply and empty the container either by removing
the power head and pouring the liquid out or by removing the
drain cap at the base of the container. After wet vacuuming,
turn the machine off and unplug from power supply. Empty the
container and clean and dry the inside and outside before
storage. Remember! After wet vacuuming the foam filter must
be removed and a cartridge filter must be fitted before dry
vacuuming again.
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1.
‘Safety Instructions’. Reminder: Remove plug from power
supply before opening unit. DO NOT vacuum solvents,
explosives, inflammable and/or hazardous liquids such
as petrol, oil, spirits, paint, thinners, acids etc.
WARNING! Not designed for liquid storage. Always
empty liquids after use and before storing.
7.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
Make sure the tank is clean and free from dust and dirt.
7.2 Remove the cartridge filter and fit a foam filter over the filter
basket. Replace the top section onto the container.
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply
Section 1 ‘Safety Instructions’.
Reminder: DO NOT vacuum hazardous substances. Use
of an incorrect cartridge filter will invalidate your
warranty.
6.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
6.2 Remove the top section and with the raised rim uppermost fit
the cartridge filter tube down over the filter basket and push
fully home. Place the locking disc onto the top of the filter
and turn the locking bar until the latch drops into the slot in
the top of the filter cage. Continue turning until the filter is
fully locked down. (see below)
6.3 Reposition the head onto the drum body and clip in place.
6.4 Insert the larger end of the flexible hose into the front inlet on
the container and lock in place. Push the required attachment
onto the free end of the hose.
6.5 Plug in the power supply.
6.6 Switch to the ‘On’ (position ‘I’).
6.7 When you have completed vacuuming, press the switch to
‘Off’ (position ‘O’) and unplug from power supply.
Regularly check the container and dispose of dust and
debris when it is 1/2 full.

10. MAINTENANCE
10.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE.
10.1.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply. (1)
10.1.2 Disconnect the hose from the container. (2)
10.1.3 Undo the clasps and remove motor head from the container. (3)
10.1.4 Clear out any dirt or debris from the container and hose. (4)
10.1.5 Check that the telescopic suction tube operates smoothly,
and check the power cable to make sure it has not been
damaged.
10.2. CARE OF CARTRIDGE FILTER
IMPORTANT! Clean or change the cartridge filter regularly
for best performance and long product life. The cartridge
filter is essential for the proper functioning of the cleaner. If
the machine is used without a cartridge filter the motor
will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always
keep a new, spare filter on hand.
10.2.1 The cartridge filters supplied are made of a high quality
material designed to trap small dust particles and should
only be used for dry vacuum cleaning. If the cartridge filter
becomes wet it will clog very quickly and be very
difficult to clean. Always handle filters very carefully when
removing and cleaning them. Check the filter for tears or
small holes. Replace the filter if it is found to be damaged.
11. TROUBLESHOOTING
