ENGLISH
WET PICK-UP OPERATION
Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank.
Remove the fi lter. Ensure that the fl oat cage remains in
place.
Float cage
Turn on the vacuum and begin pick-up.
Turn off the vacuum immediately upon completing a wet
pick-up job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied.
NOTE: If suction shuts off , turn off the vacuum im-mediately
and empty the tank.
Remove the battery pack.
Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank.
Remove motor housing and pour liquid waste into a suitable
drain.
Clean the interior of the tank and pick-up acces-sories
periodically, more often when used to pick up wet, sticky
materials. Use warm, soapy water.
AUTOMATIC SUCTION SHUT-OFF
When picking up liquids, an internal fl oat rises until it seats
itself against a seal at the intake of the motor, shutting off
suction. When this happens, the motor will develop a higher
than normal pitch noise and the suction is drastically
reduced. If this occurs, turn off the vacuum immediately.
Failure to turn off unit after fl oat rises and shuts off suction
will result in extensive damage to the motor. To continue
use, empty the liquid waste from the tank.
NOTE: If the vacuum is accidentally tipped over, it could
lose suction. Turn off the vacuum and return it to an upright
position. The fl oat will return to its normal position.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time
should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure
to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods
Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in
accordance with local, national and international provisions
and regulations.
