•
The spring is a reasonably tight fit to prevent
accidental movement in use and therefore must
be pulled onto the buffer by stretching.
•
With the skirt on the buffer it can be moved in
its groove to bring the hose connector to the
rear, ensuring the base moulding lies in the cut-
out provided in the outer ring of the skirt,
enabling free movement when in use (Fig.5).
7.8 Fitting the vacuum unit
•
Stand machine upright, and clamp the vacuum
unit support bracket to the handle tube in the
specified position. (Refer to the instructions
supplied with the unit).
•
Rest the vacuum unit on the support bracket
with the control switch to the rear, and engage
the locking bar on the back of the unit to secure
it in position.
•
Push the flexible hose on to the vacuum unit
and skirt.
•
Plug the electrical lead from the vacuum unit
into the socket situated on the left side of the
handle moulding.
•
The machine is now ready for use. The switch
controlling the vacuum unit is located on the
back of the unit. The OFF position is marked O.
7.9 Using the vacuum unit
IMPORTANT - For maximum suction the
sliding shutter on the top of the unit must be
closed.
•
Dust collected by the unit is contained within
the filter bag located behind the front cover.
•
To replace the filter bag, switch off vacuum
unit, release front cover catch and lift off
cover.
•
Remove and dispose of used bag. Fit new
bag and replace front cover.

Storage
•
Always unplug the machine after use.
•
Wrap the supply cord around the handlebar
and cable winder ensuring that the plug is not
trailing on the floor.
•
The machine should normally be stored with
the handle in the fully upright position.
•
Never store the machine with a brush or drive
disc and pad fitted as this causes distortion,
and results in instability during operation.
•
Store the machine in a dry indoor area only.

Maintenance
WARNING
-
Before
undertaking
maintenance
operations
or
adjustments switch off machine and
unplug from the electricity supply.
The machine requires minimum maintenance
apart from the following checks by a trained
operator.
•
Supply cord
- Regularly inspect sheath, plug
and cord anchorage for damage or loose
connection. Only replace the supply cord with
the type specified in these instructions.
•
Solution tank
- Check water flow, if restricted
inspect hoses and tubes for blockage or kinks.
Dismantle control valve to clean if necessary.
Check switch interlock for correct operation.
•
Vacuum unit
- All dust bags must be changed
regularly and hoses and connectors checked
for blockage to avoid unsatisfactory results.
•
Motor overload cut-out
- All machines are
fitted with an automatic reset motor overload
cut-out. The cut-out will operate to protect the
motor from overheating by switching the
machine off when there is excessive
friction/resistance to the cleaning head on the
floor. This is usually caused by the stickiness of
the pad or floor. Turn the cleaning pad over or
if both sides are dirty replace with a clean pad.
It is not possible to obtain a good finish on the
floor using a dirty pad. Should the cut-out
operate it will reset automatically when the
motor has cooled sufficiently, usually after 15 -
30 mins.
10 After Sales Service
Truvox machines are high quality machines that
have been tested for safety by authorised
technicians. It is always apparent that after longer
working periods, electrical and mechanical
components will show signs of wear and tear or
ageing.
Under extreme or specialised conditions and/or
insufficient maintenance, shorter maintenance
intervals are necessary. Use only original Truvox
spare parts.
Use of other spare parts will
invalidate all warranty and liability claims.
Should you require after sales service please
contact the supplier from whom you purchased
the machine, who will arrange service. Repairs
and servicing of Truvox products should only be
performed by trained staff. Improper repairs can
cause considerable dangers to the user.
