[. . . ] Ensure the cartridge filter is also fitted after positioning the dust collection bag. The hose has a swivel connector fitted to one end and an extension tube connector to the other. When using the vacuum facility fit the swivel connector into the inlet in the side of the recovery tank (see illustration). Fit one of the extension tubes into the other end of the hose, making sure you slide this on as far as possible. If required the second extension tube can now be added and either the floor head or the crevice tool fitted into the end. The cleaner can be used without either of these tools if required. 1) Ensure that the motor housing has been clipped onto the base in the correct position, with the air outlet opposite the vacuum inlet hose. Failure to observe this will allow the filter to foul the internal inlet pipe. CLEANING THE FILTER DUST COLLECTION BAG ASSEMBLING THE HOSE OPERATION 3) The unit has two operating modes - continuous and power take off mode. With the switch set to position I (continuous mode) the vacuum motor will operate all the time that the switch is on. SWITCH POSITIONS 4 2) Unwind the mains lead fully and connect to the mains or extension lead. With the switch in position II (power take off mode) the operation of the vacuum motor is controlled by a power tool plugged into the socket on the back of the unit. When the power tool is switched on there is a delay of approximately 5 seconds before the vacuum motor switches on. When the power tool is switched off there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds before the vacuum motor switches off. The cleaner is protected by an automatic shut-off float valve when it becomes full of liquid. This will become apparent to you as the motor will start to make a high pitched noise. If this happens: 1) Switch the unit off. 3) Lift the hose up to drain any excess liquid back into the container. 5) Try to keep the hose raised whilst emptying out the liquid, this can help eliminate any spills. WARNING - BE CAREFUL WHEN EMPTYING THE TANK - IT MAY BE HEAVIER THAN YOU THINK. FLOAT SHUT OFF Important The float valve is a safety device, do not attempt to remove this or modify it, it is there for your safety. Should the cleaner overturn during use, switch the unit off immediately, return to the upright position and wait until the float valve has repositioned itself. If collecting soapy water you will need to regularly check whether the unit requires emptying as the lather can bypass the float system and there can be a discharge of foam!Should this occur switch off the unit, wash out any foam in the filter and tip away any water around the outlet on the motor housing, before restarting. WARNING - TAKE CARE, THE TANK MAY BE HEAVIER THAN YOU THINK. 1) Switch off the unit and unplug from the socket. 2) Unclip the motor housing from the recovery tank. 3) Empty tank of all contents - making sure that you are protected against any sharp objects. [. . . ] The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

If you are using an extension lead it must be rated at a minimum of 13 amps and fully unwound. Do not operate with a lead rated at less than 13 amps as this will cause premature failure of the unit which is not covered by the guarantee.
