If the malfunction is not caused by any of these points, visit the nearest authorized service
center for an examination of the vacuum cleaner. The motor is built for maintenance-free
operation and does not need any particular service. The carbon brushes may need to be
replaced due to normal wear and tear caused by using the vacuum cleaner over time and
must be replaced at an authorized service center. The manufacturer reserves the right to
modify the machine and the included attachments without prior notice.
3.2 To Store your Machine after Dry Use
• Turn off the machine by pushing the switch to the off position.
• Disconnect the plug from the source of electricity.
• Remove the cloth filter and dispose of debris.
• Wipe down machine with damp cloth.
• Report problems and repair promptly.
3.3 Wet Use
• Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the source of electricity.
• Remove the top of the vacuum and remove the cloth filter assembly.
• Make sure that the tank does NOT contain dust.
• Put the top of the vacuum back into its original position and secure it onto the tank,
snapping down the latches on both sides.
• Connect the plug to the source of electricity. Turn the machine on by pushing the
switch to the on position.
• Use the squeegee tool included with the vacuum for wet clean up.
ATTENTION: This vacuum is equipped with a ball float shut-off. When the maximum
level of fluid has been reached, there will be a significant change in sound and airflow
through the hose will decrease. This feature provides protection to the vacuum motor by
shutting down airflow before motor damage occurs.
Failure to use the defoamer in the solution tank will void warranty. Failure to stop when
tank is full will void warranty.
3.4 To Store your Machine after Wet Use
• Turn off the machine by pushing the switch to the off position.

• Dispose of all liquid from tank by unclipping the disposal hose. Simply remove the
end cap from the hose and slowly lower the drain hose to release the contents into a
suitable drain. Replace end cap and clip hose back to machine.
