OPERATION
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.
2) Unwind the mains lead fully and connect to the mains or extension lead.
3) Switch unit on.
4) Operate as required.
Beware of discharged air from the outlet on the motor housing.
FLOAT SHUT OFF
The cleaner is protected by an automatic shut-off float valve when the recovery tank 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.
2) Disconnect from the mains.
3) Lift the hose up to drain any excess liquid back into the container.
4) Empty the contents of the tank.
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.
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.
EMPTYING TANK
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. Beware of
excess weight.
4) Clean filters (change if necessary).
5) Check and clean any blockages within the unit.
6) Replace motor housing, plug in and continue as before.
BLOWER FUNCTION
1) The CombiVac
TM
can be used as a powerful blower by inserting the hose into the outlet on the motor
housing.
2) Always ensure that the hose, tank and accessories have been cleaned of any debris before operating
the blower function.
3) You should always protect your eyes with safety goggles when using this function and ensure that
no one else is in close proximity.
4) The paper bag filter is not required when using the blower.
5) Uses include: blowing leaves into piles, blowing out dust from difficult to get to areas, faster drying of
paint.
Note - Always switch the unit off before changing between vacuum and blower functions.
STORAGE
1) Clean out the container and wipe the surface of the unit over with a damp
cloth.
2) Wrap the mains lead around the upper moulding as shown in illustration and
clip plug to lead.
3) Locate the 2 extension tubes onto the taller posts on the cleaner top with the
nozzle tool and floor head on the lower angled posts.
