2 Preparing for use
2.1 Electrical connection
Before connecting the machine to the power
supply, check that your supply voltage
corresponds with that marked on the rating
label on the handle of the machine.
The power supply cord plus any extension leads
should not exceed 30m in total. The cross-
section of any extension cable wiring must be at
least 2,5 mm
².
UK only
The supply cord for 230v models is fitted with a plug
containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement it must only be replaced by a 13 amp
fuse conforming to BS1362, and the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost the plug
must
not
be used until the correct replacement cover is
fitted.
IMPORTANT
- If the supply cord is damaged,
it must only be replaced by a suitable cord
available from the manufacturer or an
authorised service agent.
WARNING - VA55HD, VA7555IND &
VA75 IND MUST BE EARTHED. VA20HD IS

be removed for wet
recovery. Push the metal ping counter
clockwise to release the filter. Remove the
pleated paper filter. (See fig below)
The primary filter (cloth filter on frame) and
float valve assembly must be in place.
2.3 Dry operation
For the VA55HD, VA55IND and VA75IND
both
the primary filter (cloth filter on frame)
and pleated paper filter
must

Dry use – ensure pleated paper filter is in
place
•
For both wet or dry use ensure the large
primary filter is in place
•
Reposition motor head on container and
fasten toggle clamps.
•
Connect hose to machine inlet, ensuring that
clip engages fully. Add extension tubes and
select suitable floor tool for your cleaning
operation
•
Fully unwind the supply cord and plug into a
convenient socket outlet. Switch machine on.
•
Pass tool backwards and forwards over area
to be cleaned. To reduce suction when
necessary move slide control on wand.
•
When using the machine for dry collection
regularly check that vacuum is not full.
•
When using the machine for wet pick-up a
high liquid level cut off device (float valve)
operates when the vacuum cleaner is full. This
causes a change in the sound level and an
immediate loss of suction.
Switch off
immediately
and unplug the machine.
