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 it clicks in to place at the inlet (to release the hose from machine just
push the release button downwards and then pull out the hose). Then connect the two stainless steel tubes with
the hose connector and twist the tubes in order to ensure that they are properly fitted. Select a nozzle suitable for
your application and attach it to the tube. 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
Remove the dry dust bag. 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.
2. Starting And Operating The Machine
2
WARNING
Before emptying the tank, unplug the vacuum cleaner. Always fully empty and clean the container and the float
system after picking up liquids. Never pick up liquid without the float system installed in the machine.
Emptying via drain hose:
Detach the drain hose from the bracket by pulling the drain hose away from the machine. Place the end of the
drain hose over a drain and remove the plug from drain hose. Gravity will then drain the liquids from the tank.
Emptying via tank:
Release the two latches holding the head unit in place and remove it. The suction hose can remain attached
whilst emptying the tank. To avoid movement of the trolley, place one foot at the base part of the trolley. Grasp the
handle at the bottom of the tank, then tilt the container backwards to pour the liquids out.
Clean the float valve and basket with a damp cloth before the head unit is refitted to the tank. When refitting the
head unit make sure the switches are located in the direction towards the suction inlet. Secure with the latches.
3. Emptying After Wet Pick Up
WARNING
Before checking the dust bag, unplug the vacuum cleaner.
Release the two latches holding the head unit in place and remove it. Check the dust bag and replace if neces-
sary. Refit the head unit onto the tank and secure with the latches. Never pick up dry material without dust bag
fitted in the machine. For replacement dust bags, visit www.kiamproducts.co.uk.
4. Emptying After Dry Pick Up
Remove the plug from the socket when machine is not in use. Wind up the electrical cable starting from the
machine end to avoid kinks. The power cable can be wound up around the hooks located on the head unit.
