1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer
insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

2. INTRODUCTION
Cleans carpets, car interiors, fabrics and upholstery. Supplied complete with carpet lance, hand held pistol tool and full wet and dry vacuum
accessory kit. Powerful pump forces cleaning fluid into fabric and 1000Watt suction power leaves surface virtually dry after one pass.
This machine can be used in three ways:
2.1. As a dry vacuum cleaner. The cartridge filter MUST be fitted. Use regular vacuum accessories. Press ONLY the black switch marked
“MOTOR”.
2.2. As a wet vacuum cleaner. The foam filter MUST be fitted. Use regular vacuum accessories. Press ONLY the black switch marked
“MOTOR”.
2.3. As a valeting machine. The foam filter MUST be fitted. Use valeting accessories. Press both “Motor” and “Pump” switches. Make first
pass over carpet with both switches depressed, then switch off pump to pick up remaining fluid.
WARNING: USE OF INCORRECT FILTER WILL INVALIDATE WARRANTY.
3. PREPARING FOR USE
3.1. To remove the motor unit, undo the clips on the side of the tank and lift off (Fig 1).
When replacing motor unit ensure that the clips are correctly located. Check correct filter is fitted.
3.2. For dry/wet cleaning use regular accessories. For valeting use, select either hand held spray head
or carpet lance.
3.3. For use as vacuum cleaner.
Release the appliance head motor from the container and turn it upside down.
Remove detergent tank (Fig 2).
Position the filtering element (b) on the motor support (c) (Fig 3). Fit the plastic adaptor disk (a) on
the filtering element (b) and turn knob in a clockwise direction to connect the two parts together
(Fig 3). Replace the motor head and snap back the hooks.
The filter cartridge should be used for vacuuming dust and solid matter. It can be used with a
paper dust bag which avoids clogging of the filter cartridge and provides a quick, hygienic means
of emptying the cleaner.
Avoid sucking up sharp or damp material.
DO NOT SUCK DRY OBJECTS, DUST ETC WITHOUT FILTER IN PLACE.
3.4. For using as valet machine remove the cartridge (Fig 4) filter and fit the foam filter supplied.
Put the detergent tank in place.
IMPORTANT: When the motor emits a high pitched sound turn off the machine and empty the
tank. Never completely immerse the nozzle in order to ensure partial air flow.
4. FOR USE AS A VALETING MACHINE
4.1. Firstly set the machine up in the vacuum mode with the vacuum accessories and remove excess dirt from carpet, car or upholstery.
Then empty the container, remove the cartridge filter and fit the foam filter. Insert the detergent tank into the machine.
4.2. USE OF DETERGENT.
Fill the white tank with COLD water up to the “max” level. Add 20cl of SEALEY “VM” or “SORMATOP 42” detergent (NOTE: 20cl is
about half a coffee mug) DO NOT USE ANY DETERGENT OTHER THAN SEALEY OR SORMATOP.
DO NOT increase the strength of detergent mix beyond 80-1. If part of the fabric is badly soiled, rub in (by hand) a mix of 80-1
detergent and leave for 2-3 minutes before valeting.

5. CLEANING OF TEXTILE SURFACES
IMPORTANT:Always test a carpet or fabric for colour fastness with the detergent, by cleaning a
small, normally hidden area of the carpet or fabric and observing the results before
proceeding to clean the entire surface.
5.1. Start the equipment by pressing both motor and pump switches. Proceed as follows.
5.2. Spray detergent by pressing the trigger as shown (Fig 10), at the same time pulling the spray
head towards you. This will spray fluid detergent on the area to be cleaned and at the same time
suck up about 60% of the used fluid.
5.3. Make another pass over the surface, without pressing the trigger (Fig 11). This will extract the
remainder of the fluid from the material.
5.4. For the cleaning of rigid floors e.g. linoleum or wooden floors), fit the rubber adaptors to the spray
head and proceed as for carpet cleaning (Fig 12).
5.5. For the cleaning of car seats, automotive trim and upholstery, fit the small spray head directly to
the handle (without the extension tubes) and proceed as above (Fig 13).

Fig 12 Fig 13
6. CLEANING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER
6.1. Remove the filter cartridge (Fig 14b) from the motor support.
6.2. Frequently clean the filtering element with a soft bristle brush. Use a shower fitting on a tap to
more thoroughly clean the element, directing the jet of water from the inside towards the outside.
IMPORTANT:The filter is extremely delicate when wet. Avoid using direct jets of water and rough
physical handling that could cause damage.
6.3. Make sure that the filter element is completely dry before fitting it back on.
6.4. Replace the filter element (not the entire cartridge) if the filter has become excessively dirtied or worn.
7. FITTING OPTIONAL DUST COLLECTION BAGS
IMPORTANT: Only use the dust bag together with the filter cartridge.
7.1. (Fig 15) Fit the plastic adaptor (A1) into the cardboard support (A2) of the dust bag (A3), pushing
it fully in until the holes match.
7.2. (Fig 16) Fit the part of the suction fitting (A4) that projects into the drum (A5) into the hole of the
adaptor (A1), making sure that the paper bag is not torn.
7.3. Allow bag to adhere to the sides of the drum and then fit the head.
7.4. The bag collects and contains dust hygienically. If sucked in, sharp or wet items could damage the
dust bag.
7.5. Change the bag when it has filled to two thirds with dust.
7.6. The bag cannot be reused. It must always be changed.
8. CLEANING THE CONTAINER
8.1. Take care when vacuuming quantities of substances, especially if they are bulky.
8.2. The tank should be emptied when half full (Fig 17).
8.3. After using the machine for valeting, or sucking liquids, empty the tank and dry it and the fittings
thoroughly (Fig 18).
8.4. Before using for dry vacuuming, you MUST refit the cartridge filter.
IMPORTANT: Failure to fit the appropriate filters will invalidate your warranty.

8.5. After each cleaning operation, make sure that the filter on the end of the detergent pick-up pipe is
not clogged. If it is, remove it and rinse under running water (Fig 19).
8.6. If dirt has deposited on the inside of the spray head assembly, remove the clear plastic cover (Fig
20), by unscrewing it, and rinse off with clean water. Refit when thoroughly dry.
8.7. The air outlet filters should be replaced regularly; to remove the cover, insert a coin into the slot
and carefully prise the cover off. After replacing the filter, refit the cover, ensuring the arrow on the
inside is pointing upwards (Fig 21).

9. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before doing any maintenance ALWAYS disconnect the power supply.
9. 1. After wet vacuum cleaning, empty the contents of the drum. Clean and dry the drum and accessories to avoid scaling.
9. 2. Periodically check to ensure that the machine and accessories are not blocked or damaged and are in good working order.
Damaged parts must be replaced. Blocked hoses or tubes will impair performance and may damage the machine.
Such damaged units returned for repair will not be accepted under warranty and may incur expensive repair bills.
Never use machine as a dry cleaner without the cloth filter. Dirt in the motor will cause failure and also invalidate warranty.
9. 3. Clean the dry cloth filter at regular intervals in a suitable container full of light soapy water (DO NOT use solvents).
Allow to dry before use. Check the filter condition and replace if necessary.
