Auto-suction stop during wet
suction operation
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.
WARNING:
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: 1. Caster 2. Stopper lever 3. FREE position
4. LOCK position
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.
Carriage handle
When carrying the cleaner, carry it by holding the han-
dle on the head. The handle is retractable at the head
when not in use.

uids or wet dusts when using the powder filter.
Picking up such things may cause the powder filter
breakage.
To use powder filter:
1.

NOTICE:
Before using the powder filter, make
sure that prefilter and damper are used together. It
is not allowed to install powder filter alone.
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.

NOTE: It is recommended using water filter when
picking up large amount of water repeatedly.
Otherwise vacuum ability may be reduced in case of
cloth filter.

WARNING:
make sure that the cloth filter or prefilter is used
together. Failure to use the cloth filter / prefilter
together may cause unusual noise and heat, resulting
