DRY VACUUM CLEANING

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 ‘Safety Instructions.
Reminder: DO NOT vacuum hazardous substances. Use of an incorrect filter will invalidate your warranty.

1. Whilst you are preparing the machine for use ensure that it is unplugged from the power supply.
2. Remove the power head. Stretch the opening of the reusable cloth filter over the filter cage and push it down.
3. Ensure that the filter completely covers the filter cage with the elastic portion stretched over the smooth ring of plastic at the base of the filter cage.
4. Reposition the power head onto the container, and secure in place by rotating the two locking knobs.
5. Insert the flexible hose into the front inlet port below the on/off switch. Push the required attachment onto the free end of the hose.
6. Plug in the power supply.
7. Switch the motor on (position ‘I’).
8. When you have completed vacuuming, press the switch to ‘Off’ (position ‘O’), and unplug from the power supply.
   Regularly check the condition of the filter.

WET VACUUM CLEANING

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1‘Safety Instructions’. Reminder: Remove the plug from the power supply before opening the unit. DO NOT vacuum solvents, explosives, inflammable and/or hazardous liquids such as petrol, oil, spirits, paint, thinners, acids, etc.

1. Whilst preparing the unit for use ensure that the machine is unplugged from the power supply. Make sure the tank is clean and free from dust and dirt.
2. Remove the reusable cloth filter and fit the foam filter over the filter cage, replace the top section onto the container.
3. To the same flexible hose as used in dry cleaning fit the desired nozzle.
4. Ensure the switch is ‘Off’ (position ‘0’) before plugging it into the power supply.
5. Press the switch to ‘On’ (position ‘I’).
6. After use, empty the tank and dry.

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 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 the power supply, remove the head from the container and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the head and proceed. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove the plug from the power supply. Empty the container and clean/dry the inside and outside before storage.
Remember! After wet vacuuming, the foam filter must be removed and a dry cloth filter must be fitted before dry vacuuming again.

BLOWING

1. Push one end of the flexible hose into the blowing outlet port in the back of the power head.
2. Ensure the power switch is turned off and plug it into the power supply.
3. Switch on the power (position ‘I’).
4. The unit will now blow through the hose and can be used to clear obstructions within the pipe.
   WARNING! If after a few seconds the hose is still blocked turn off the unit and clear the hose manually.

MAINTENANCE

8.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE.

1. Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
