Auto-suction stop during wet suction
operation (for the cloth filter model)
WARNING:
Do not use for a long time while the float is at
•
work. Using the cleaner with its float at work for a
long time can cause overheat, resulting in the
cleaner deformation.
Do not pick up foam or soapy liquid. Picking up
•
foam or soapy liquid can cause foam to come out
of air exit before the float works. Continuing to
using in this condition may cause an electric shock
and breakage of the cleaner.
Auto-suction stop works only when using with the float
and float cage.
The cleaner has a float mechanism that prevents water
from immersing into the motor when picking up more
than a certain amount of water.
When the tank is full and the cleaner no longer picks up
water, switch off the cleaner and empty the tank.
Locking or unlocking the caster
Fig.8
To lock the caster with a stopper, lower the stopper lever
and the caster no longer will rotate. To release the
caster from the locked position, raise the stopper lever.
Locking the caster is convenient when storing the
cleaner, stopping the work on the way and keeping the
cleaner still.
To operate the stopper, move it by hand.
NOTE:
When moving the cleaner, make sure that the
•
caster is unlocked. Moving the cleaner with the
caster in the locked position may cause damage to
the caster.
Carriage handle
