Introduction
Your new machine is a tough, powerful
and extremely versatile Wet & Dry vacuum
cleaner and carpet shampooer. In addition
to normal household cleaning it can be
used for:
•
Liquids: spills and leaks, blocked sinks
and soakaways, floods, ponds and
cleaning out chest freezers after
defrosting.
•
Bulky waste: sawdust, wood shavings,
plaster, sand, grinding dust, nails, screws,
broken glass; soil in the potting shed.
•
Shampooing: carpets, chairs, sofas
and seats.
How does your
cleaner work?
Wet and dry usage
A heavy duty motor is located on top of
the waste tank. The powerful vacuum lifts
dirt and liquids through the hose which settle
in the bottom of the tank. This arrangement
protects the motor from liquids. A float shut-
off valve cuts off the suction when the waste
tank gets full of liquid.
A long-life cartridge filter is used when
picking up dry waste to prevent fine particles
being blown back out again. Paper bags can
also be used for easier disposal.
Your Wet & Dry may sound louder than
smaller conventional cleaners. This is normal
for a heavy duty motor, designed to provide
power and long life.
Tip: Do not press down when cleaning -
let the powerful suction do the work.
Shampooing usage
Water, mixed with a cleaning solution, is
pumped deep into the fibres of a carpet via
the shampoo nozzle. The water is then
immediately sucked back into the waste tank
along with the dirt and grime dislodged by
the cleaning solution. Water can be pumped
up to 2 meters above the machine so that
stairs may also be shampooed.

usage, first section of this booklet; then how
