7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(a) After opening the packaging box, insert the main handlebar (18) onto the trolley base and block into
place by inserting the large basket (17) into the bottom holes of the handlebar. Then insert the small
basket (16) into the top holes of the handlebar.
(b) Insert the plug (7) into the outlet (25) located behind the machine, and verify that the vacuum power
switch (2) on the vacuum head is in ON position.
(c) Remove the tanks caps (21 and 22), fill in water (max 3 litres) in the water tank (blue funnel) and fill
in the appropriately diluted detergent (max 3 litres) in the detergent tank (yellow funnel). It is
recommended to be very careful during this process because an inverted filling up (detergent
into the water tank or water into detergent tank) causes a steam generator fault.
(d) When using detergent (not foamy for extractions machines), please follow the specific instructions
reported on original packaging: normally 1 litre
(e) 1 litre detergent for every 10 litres water (percentage detergent about 10%), making sure to fill in first
the detergent to obtain a better mixing. Please be aware to the used detergent, as some in
commerce, if you get them above 100°C, taken to the gaseous state, could emanate highly
toxic steams. Be aware to check the technical data sheet and to consult the supplier.
The detergent tank has to be filled only with detergent diluted with water, not with water only,
unless you are not using demineralized water.
The usage of water only (not demineralized) instead of detergent causes faults to the mixing circuit.
(f) Insert the plug (26) into an electrical socket, making sure that the voltage and the amperage
correspond with the data printed on the plate located near the handlebar on the machine.
(g) Switch the unit on by using the main switch (8) and activate the “Power / Stand-by” (10) and the
“Boiler” (12) switches.
ATTENTION
Once the water tank is empty the red “Low water” indicator light (15) will switch on followed by an
intermittent acoustic signal, at the same time the system will disable the power of the heating
element until the water tank (22) is filled again.
To reactivate the device, switch off the unit by the button (10), refill the water tank (22) and
afterwards switch on the unit again by the button (10).
If the water tank is filled without a prior switching off the machine, the low water indicator light and
acoustic signal will remain on; switch the unit off and on again as described above in order to
continue the work.
The intervention of the system can occur also after the refilling of the boiler once performed the mud drain
during the maintenance process; in this case it will last for 30 seconds and it does not have to be
considered as a faulty signal.
Note: Water refilling can be executed without switching the device off.

7.1. OPERATING OF JET VAC COMPACT WITH KIT RADAMES
Attention!!
It is recommended to switch the steam generator off before connecting the steam hose to the
steam outlet.
Insert the vacuum hose (75) into the vacuum hose outlet (6) and the steam plug (34) into the steam
outlet (27) on the machine. Push until the latches (5 and 34A) lock into place.
Activate the general power switch (8), the “Power / Stand-by” switch (10) and the “Boiler” switch (12) for
the production of steam and wait approx. 4 minutes until the indicator (14) lights up indicating the
presence of steam inside the boiler.
The switches (36, 37 and 37A) on the handle have to be switched off (in OFF position).
Activate the switches (36 and 37) on the handgrip to regulate the steam flow as follows: switch (36):
minimum steam, switch (37): medium switch, switches (36 and 37): maximum steam. Use the steam
command switch (36A) to activate steam flow.
The vacuum switch (37A) activates the vacuum cleaner and can be used simultaneously with steam.
The switch (35) enables you to inject detergent with the steam by activating it for a few seconds at a time
to avoid excess liquid with the steam; to spray hot water (for models with the function of hot water
injection) please refer to what above indicated activating the switch (35A).
Both detergent and hot water injection functions have to be activated at intermittence (for ex. 20 seconds
ON - 20 seconds OFF); both functions have not to be used in continuous duty.
Detergent injection or hot water injection (optional) is possible only if at least one steam command switch
is activated and if “Steam Ready” indicator (14) is on.
Attention!!
Using the switch (35A) you will get hot water under pressure which, according to the model of the
machine, can reach a temperature of 180°C; please pay attention that the switch has not to be
pressed accidentally and that the jet has not to be directed toward people or animals.
To clean with the combination of steam, injection of detergent or of hot water and vacuum suction, choose
the accessory best suited for the job:
The multi-purpose floor tool (77): with appropriate inserts (79 and 80). Inserts are locked into place by
sliding the latches (78) toward the internal side (OPEN position), pressing them upwards, then sliding the
latches toward the external side (BLOCK position). Remember that the command switches on the handle
(36-37-37A) must be in OFF position until the end of this procedure.
Steam/vac lance (76): to be used by itself, or with the small round brushes (43-46, 49), or with steam
plunger (47), or with steam scraper (48) according to the cleaning job to be executed.
If necessary, attach the extension tubes (39) and lock them into place using the clamping units (38) in
BLOCK position. Only one tube may be used if desired.
