Check that all power switches are in the off position. Connect the suction hose into the suction inlet of the
machine by pushing the hose forward until the pin clicks in to place at the inlet (to release the hose from machine
just pull the pin upwards and then pull out the hose). Then connect the hose to your gutter poles. Connect the
power plug into a mains electrical outlet. Push the power switch to the on position to start the motor. Each motor
is independently switched.
NOTE: For wet pick up (gutter cleaning)
Remove the white dry filter leaving the spong filter on. The machine is equipped with a float valve that shuts off
the airflow through the machine when the maximum liquid level is reached. You will then hear a noticeable change
of sound from the motor and notice that the suction power decreases. When this occurs switch the machine off,
disconnect the machine from the socket and empty the tank.
