FILTER SYSTEM
The cleaner is supplied with 2 filters, one is made of foam and the other of paper. It is
extremely
important
that you use these correctly.
DRY PICK UP
The foam filter requires to be fitted. To install this, slide the foam filter down over the float cage until it
touches the top - see illustration. Treat the filter with care as you install it. The foam filter must be dry
before fitting the paper filter.
Once the foam filter is installed, slide the paper bag filter over the top of the foam filter. Use the rubber
band to secure the paper filter in position, making sure this fully covers the foam filter, and up to the
shoulder of the moulding. A clogged filter can lead to overheating of the vacuum cleaner, periodically
lightly brush down accumulated dirt build up on the paper surface with a soft brush.
WET PICK UP
For wet pick up you only require the foam filter.
DO NOT USE THE PAPER FILTER FOR WET PICK UP.
You will need to gently clean the foam filter from
time to time. This should be gently washed through in warm soapy water until all traces of dirt have been
removed. Then rinse through with cold water and allow to dry.
NOTE - It is essential that the foam filter is thoroughly dried before installing paper filter.
Notes
You will need to periodically replace the paper filter bag. See the leaflet on consumables.
A heavy duty combined wet and dry cartridge filter is available as an optional extra. This can be
permanently fitted and saves having to change filters for different uses.
The cleaner does not collect dry matter into the paper bag filter. This is collected in the main recovery
tank. The paper bag is a filter to stop the dust from entering the motor.
NEVER OPERATE THIS CLEANER WITHOUT THE CORRECT FILTERS IN PLACE.
ASSEMBLING THE HOSE
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.
