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.
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.
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.

Installing the water filter
Optional accessory
NOTICE:
Never pick up water or wet dust without
the float and the cloth filter or the water filter.
NOTICE:
For picking up wet dust, make sure that
the float cage and the float are installed on the
cleaner.
NOTICE:
When installing the water filter on the
tank, set it tight at the opening of the tank so
that the hook of the water filter engages the tank
opening firmly and there is no space between the
water filter and the tank.
To pick up water or wet dust only, the water filter is more
suitable than the cloth filter.
When installing the water filter, align its mounting posi-
tion marking with the one on the tank.
