FILTER INSTALLATION
WARNING
DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY BEFORE OPENING
CAUTION
NEVER OPERATE THIS CLEANER WITHOUT THE CORRECT FILTER FITTED
Failure to do this will invalidate the guarantee. A clean filter is essential for this cleaner to operate
efficiently. If the filter becomes clogged or damaged or fails to operate you must fit an Earlex
replacement. Details are supplied with the cleaner.
FILTER SYSTEM
The cleaner is supplied with a combined wet and dry cartridge filter. To
fit the filter slide it down over the float cage until it touches the top then
push the pin part of the fastener through the centre of the filter to hold it
in place - see illustration. To remove the filter from the unit, pull the pin
from the centre of the unit and then pull the filter from the unit.
For dry pick up always ensure that the filter is completely dry before
use. When using the filter for wet pick up ensure that it is not left sub-
merged for longer than necessary. Empty the waste container
immediately after use.
CLEANING THE FILTER
Remove the filter from the float cage. If the filter is covered with dry dirt or debris use a brush to remove
the dirt from the outside of the filter. If the filter is covered with wet or damp dirt/debris then immerse it in a
bucket of warm soapy water, the filter may have to be left to soak. Once 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. For dry
applications the filter must then be allowed to dry thoroughly before being used again.
DUST COLLECTION BAG
The cleaner is also supplied with a dust collection bag to allow fine dust and dirt to be collected. To fit the
dust collection bag place it inside the recovery tank with the card sleeve by the inlet stub. Push the card
sleeve over the inlet stub so that the rubber seal holds the dust collection bag in place inside the recovery
tank. Be careful not to tear the dust collection bag whilst fittting it. Ensure the cartridge filter is also fitted
after placing the dust collection bag.
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.
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) 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. 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.
