FLOAT SHUT OFF
The unit is protected by an automatic shut-off float valve when the collection bin becomes full of liquid. Once the
bin becomes full the motor will start to make a high pitched noise. If this happens:
1. Switch off the unit and disconnect from the mains.
2. Lift the hose up to drain any liquid back into the bin.
3. Empty the contents of the bin, keeping the hose raised to eliminate any spillages. Be careful as the tank may
be heavier than it appears.
The float valve is a safety device and is there for your safety. Do not attempt to modify or remove this.
Should the cleaner overturn in use, switch the unit off immediately and return to an upright position.
If collecting soapy water you will need to regularly check if the unit requires emptying as lather can bypass the
float system and there can be a discharge of foam. Should this occur:
1. Switch off the unit.
2. Wash out any foam in the filter.
3. Tip away any water around the outlet on the motor housing before recommencing work.
EMPTYING THE TANK
WARNING - TAKE CARE, THE TANK MAY BE HEAVIER THAN YOU THINK. BEWARE OF EXCESS WEIGHT.
1. Switch off the unit and unplug from mains.
2. Unclip the motor housing from the collection bin.
3. Empty the bin of all contents taking care to protect against yourself sharp objects.
4. Clean the filters and change if necessary (see below instructions).
5. Check and clean any blockages within the unit.
6. Replace motor housing, plug into mains and continue as before.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
After using the cleaner in wet mode, empty, rinse and dry the collection bin, hose and accessories. If it has been
used for sticky liquid spills, clean the tank and accessories with warm, soapy water.
Wash dirt from the filter using warm, soapy water. Once all the dirt has been removed, rinse the filter under a
running tap, allowing the water to pass from the inside to the outside of the filter. This will improve its
performance. If the filter is very clogged, immerse it in a bucket of warm, soapy water and leave to soak for a
short period of time.
For dry pick up, always ensure that the unit is completely dry before use.
Do
NOT
oil the motor. It is lubricated for the life of the product.
Periodically replace the dust collection bag. For replacements, please contact Earlex on 01483 454666.
Clean the brush/squeegee attachment for the floor head with warm, soapy water.
There are no serviceable parts inside the unit apart from the filters.
6. You can also use the blower function to power the CombiSpray
®
Gun, which is available as an
optional extra (WDACC18). This paint spray gun gives an expert finish on doors, cupboards,
metals, fences, arts & crafts and can use a wide variety of paints/varnishes.
The unit is supplied with a stepped power tool adaptor, designed to fit on the
exhaust port of many sanders, planers and jigsaws. Fit the large end into the hose
and the small end into the exhaust port on the power tool. It may be necessary to
cut the smaller sections off the adaptor, depending on the size of the exhaust port.
