GB
1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for wet or dry vacuuming, install the cartridge lter over the
lter cage with the at end of the lter towards the vacuum power head. Carefully push lter
until it sits ush forming a tight seal.
2) Place the lter retainer cap on top of cartridge lter over the raised lip and tighten the retainer
lock clockwise to secure against the internal lter cage (Fig. 9).
3) Place the nylon pre-lter over the cartridge lter, making sure the whole lter is covered and
secure the drawstring. Replace the power head, and secure it in place (Fig. 10).
IMPORTANT: Check the lter regularly for optimal performance. An old or blocked lter will reduce
suction performance.
3. Blower Operation
WARNING! KEEP BYSTANDERS CLEAR FROM BLOWING DEBRIS.
WARNING! WEAR A DUST MASK IF BLOWING CREATES DUST THAT MIGHT BE
INHALED.
1) Make sure the container and any collected waste is emptied and the lter is dry before using as
a blower.
2) Insert the locking end of the hose into the blowing port on the rear side of the power head (Fig.
11).
3) Turn on the motor on by turning the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.
CLEANING ARTIFICIAL LAWNS AND
OUTDOOR AREAS
1. Everyday Cleaning with Dry Suction
1) Clear large objects and debris from the lawn surface to ensure no large objects block or
damage the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 12).
2) Fit the articial grass tool attachment to the oor head holder and attach this to the end of the
extension wands and hose (Fig. 13).
NOTE: The articial grass tool has been specially developed for cleaning long bers of articial
lawns.
3) Turn the motor on by assigning the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.
2. Remove Stubborn Dirt with Wet Suction
Stubborn dirt or mud that has been compacted into the surface is easier to remove and clean if the
lawn is wet.
1) Use a hose or watering can directly onto the stubborn dirt allowing the dirt to loosen and absorb
the water (Fig. 14).
2) Using the articial grass tool, vacuum up areas to remove the dirt deep in the lawn bers.
3. Brass Round Brush for Moss and Plant Removal
Nature likes to grow back into articial lawns, moss especially likes the damp protected surface
of articial grass. The brass brush will remove the moss from the lawn, without the use of
chemicals, the brass bers are soft and gentle to surfaces compared to steel brushes.

10
GB
WARNING: ALWAYS TEST THE EFFECT OF THE BRASS BRUSH IN A SMALL AREA.
CHECK THAT THE BRUSH DOES NOT DAMAGE YOUR TYPE OF ARTIFICIAL LAWN
OR YOUR TYPE OF STONE WORK BEFORE CLEANING LARGE AREAS.
1) Fit the brass round brush tool to the end of the extension wands and hose (Fig. 15).
2) Work the moss in a gentle back and forth motion. This will dislodge the roots and the moss is
collected by the vacuum cleaner.
4. Detailed Areas
For the corners around your lawn use the crevice tool.
1) Fit the crevice tool to the end of the extension wands and hose (Fig. 16).
2) Use the crevice tool for any nal spot cleaning and to reach the edges and corners of the lawn
and around any plant pots (Fig. 16).
5. Other Outdoor Areas
Use the hard oor tool for any other outdoor ooring, decking or stonework.
1) Fit the hard oor attachment to the oor head holder and attach this to the end of the extension
wands and hose (Fig. 17).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: REMOVE THE POWERCORD FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE.
1) Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust. Use a soft, dry
brush to clean the equipment regularly.
2) Clear all dirt or debris from the collection tank after each use. Allow to dry before replacing the
power head. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may damage the appliance.
3) Check the hose, attachments, and power cord to verify that they have not been damaged or
any debris is trapped and blocking airow.
1. Cleaning Washable Cartridge Filter & Nylon Pre-lter
1) Remove the lter and clean by gently tapping or brushing dirt off. For optimal performance it is
recommended to replace the old lter with a new lter regularly.
2) Use a mild soap and water solution to wash cartridge lter and nylon pre-lter and rinse with
clean water. Allow the lters to air dry before re-installing (Fig. 18 & 19).

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, UNPLUG BEFORE
TROUBLESHOOTING.
Cleaning Performance
Vacmaster vacuum cleaners are tested for endurance. If your motor is operating, then the most
likely cause for a loss in suction is a blockage or an opening in the vacuum.
To maintain a high cleaning performance from your machine, it is important to replace or clean
cartridge lters as necessary. Replace full dust bags to prevent performance drops. A performance
drop with clean lters can only be caused by a blockage in the tools or the hose.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The vacuum doesn’t
work.
No power. Check the power supply and fuse.
Functional fault in the power
cord, switch, or motor.
Have the damaged part checked by
qualied personnel or contact the after
sales helpline.
Low suction power
and high operating
noise / vibrations.
Suction nozzle, hose, or tank
inlet is blocked.
Check the suction nozzle, hose, and
tank inlet for obstructions.
Cartridge lter is blocked. Remove the cartridge lter and clean.
Float valve has closed.
Empty the container of any liquid
waste and ensure the oat value
located underneath the lter is able to
move freely.
The vacuum turns off
on its own.
The power cord is
disconnected from the power
supply.
Make sure the plug is connected to the
power supply.
The extension cable is
disconnected.
Make sure the extension cable is
connected rmly.
Dust is escaping from
the motor cover
The lter is missing or
damaged.
Install the lter correctly or replace it if
it is damaged.
