7. WET VACUUM CLEANING
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply
Section 1 ‘Safety Instructions’. Reminder: Remove plug
from power supply before opening unit. DO NOT vacuum
solvents, explosives, inflammable and/or hazardous
liquids such as petrol, oil, spirits, paint, thinners,
acids etc.
7.1. Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
(fig.4.1) Make sure the tank is clean and free from
dust and dirt.
7.2. Remove the cartridge filter and fit a foam filter over the filter
basket. (fig.4.2) Replace the motor head assembly
onto the drum.
7.3. Fit the desired nozzle (fig.4.3) (to the same flexible hose used
in dry cleaning).
7.4. Ensure the switch is in the ‘Off’ (position ‘0’) before plugging into the power supply.
7.5. Press the switch to the ‘On’ (position ‘I’). (fig.4.5)
Note: 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 action 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 power supply, remove the motor head assembly from the drum and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or
drain. (fig.4.6). To continue vacuuming, refit the head and proceed. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and unplug from power
supply. Empty the drum and clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.
WARNING! After wet vacuuming the foam filter must be removed and a cartridge filter must be fitted before dry vacuuming again.
WARNING! Not designed for liquid storage. Always empty liquids after use and before storing.
8. MAINTENANCE
8.1. GENERAL MAINTENANCE.
8.1.1. Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.
8.1.2. Disconnect the hose from the drum.
8.1.3. Undo the clasps and remove motor head assembly from the drum.
8.1.4. Clear out any dirt or debris from the drum and hose.

cable to make sure it has not received any damage.
8.2. CARTRIDGE FILTER MAINTENANCE.
8.2.1. Handle the filter carefully when cleaning or installing.
8.2.2. Carefully remove the cartridge filter (fig.6.1) and inspect it for damage.

8DO NOT use the filter if it becomes wet as the filter will clog quickly and be
very difficult to clean. (The cartridge filter is designed for dry vacuuming only.) Should the filter be inadvertently wetted it should be
rinsed from the inside (fig.6.2) and allowed to air dry for 24 hours.
8.2.5. To fit a new/cleaned filter slide it over the filter basket (fig.6.3) and push it fully home (fig.6.4).
