Installation
The wheels are not fitted and have to be inserted into the housing (A2). Remove accessory parts possibly stowed in the
tank. Unlock the container locking system (C1), remove motor housing (C2). Remove all parts from the collection
container (D2), refit and lock the motor housing. Connect the suction hose to the intake distributor (B3). Fit the extension
tubes. Slide on one of the nozzles supplied.
To facilitate transport, the position of the transport brace (B1) can be changed by loosening the hand screw (B2). The
brace can be hinged down for storage.

Use as sludge remover
Attention! Never operate the unit without foam filter or float switch!
Insert the drain hose in the rear outlet opening (C3) of the collection container. The unit automatically switches to vacuum
cleaning and discharge. Vacuum cleaning is continuous. The unit discharges continuously through the outlet. Ensure a
gravity draining for the drain hose and make sure that the hose is straight. Attention! Avoid kinks, bends and ground
unevenness to ensure that the sludge water can drain freely. Dispose of the sludge water in accordance with the local
regulations.
For thin layers of sludge, turn the ground nozzle through 180°. At end of work, switch the unit off at the main switch.
