1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for wet or dry vacuuming, install the cartridge filter over the
filter cage with the flat end of the filter towards the vacuum power head. Carefully push filter
until it sits flush forming a tight seal.
2) Place the filter retainer cap on top of cartridge filter over the raised lip and tighten the retainer
lock clockwise to secure against the internal filter cage (Fig. 9).
3) Place the nylon pre-filter over the cartridge filter, making sure the whole filter is covered and
secure the drawstring. Replace the power head, and secure it in place (Fig. 10).
IMPORTANT: Check the filter regularly for optimal performance. An old or blocked filter will reduce
suction performance.
3. Blower Operation
WARNING! KEEP BYSTANDERS CLEAR FROM BLOWING DEBRIS.
WARNING! WEAR A DUST MASK IF BLOWING CREATES DUST THAT MIGHT BE
INHALED.
1) Make sure the container and any collected waste is emptied and the filter is dry before using as
a blower.
2) Insert the locking end of the hose into the blowing port on the rear side of the power head (Fig.
11).
3) Turn on the motor on by turning the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.
CLEANING ARTIFICIAL LAWNS AND
OUTDOOR AREAS
1. Everyday Cleaning with Dry Suction
1) Clear large objects and debris from the lawn surface to ensure no large objects block or
damage the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 12).
2) Fit the artificial grass tool attachment to the floor head holder and attach this to the end of the
extension wands and hose (Fig. 13).
NOTE:
The artificial grass tool has been specially developed for cleaning long fibers of artificial
lawns.
3) Turn the motor on by assigning the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.
2. Remove Stubborn Dirt with Wet Suction
Stubborn dirt or mud that has been compacted into the surface is easier to remove and clean if the
lawn is wet.
1) Use a hose or watering can directly onto the stubborn dirt allowing the dirt to loosen and absorb
the water (Fig. 14).
2) Using the artificial grass tool, vacuum up areas to remove the dirt deep in the lawn fibers.
3. Brass Round Brush for Moss and Plant Removal
Nature likes to grow back into artificial lawns, moss especially likes the damp protected surface
of artificial grass. The brass brush will remove the moss from the lawn, without the use of
chemicals, the brass fibers are soft and gentle to surfaces compared to steel brushes.
