ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug, for
connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug need changing at
any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is used.

WARNING ! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This machine must be wired up in accordance with the following colour code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH

• Connect the BLUE coloured cord to the plug terminal marked “N”

• Connect the BROWN coloured cord to the plug terminal marked “L”

• Connect the GREEN/YELLOW coloured cord to the plug terminal marked “E”

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to
the electric cable (i.e. non-rewireable) please note:

1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the
electric cable. There is a danger of electric shock if it
is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.

2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

PARTS LIST

3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).

4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most electrical
stockists.

Fuse Rating

The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and this
replacement must be approved to BS1362.

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

Cable Extension

Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the
machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

4. Ensure the appropriate filter is properly in place and secured with the spring
clamp, before selecting the appropriate tool for attaching to the end of the
tube extension, plugging into the power supply and switching ON.

Be aware that when picking up water, the tank will gradually fill up. Check
and empty at frequent intervals, otherwise the float located within the filter
unit will rise and eventually shut off suction. This is a safety feature to prevent
water from coming into contact with electrical components.

Should suction cease, switch OFF immediately and empty the tank, otherwise
the motor could overheat.

UNPACKING

Carefully unpack and check components against the list below. Should there be
any transit damage, please contact your Clarke dealer immediately

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is limited to inspecting the filters regularly, and replacing when
necessary. The linen bag may be washed as required and dried before use.

Also ensure that the hose is kept in good condition. A damaged hose will seriously
effect the efficiency of the machine, and should be replaced immediately.

Inspect all other components periodically, and replace damaged castors or
accessories when necessary. Contact your CLARKE dealer for replacements.

Regular inspection and the correct maintenance of the filters, will ensure the
efficient running and prolong the life of your machine.

OPERATION

NOTE: Filters are essential to ensure that dust or foreign matter does not enter the
motor compartment which would reduce motor effeciency, and eventually cause
serious damage.

Three filters are supplied with the machine.

1. The Cartridge filter is the primary filter, and must be fitted
over the filter cage. This is used only for dry vacuuming.

2. The Linen Bag filter is the secondary filter and must be placed
securely over the cartridge filter for all normal operations,
i.e. dry vacuuming.

IMPORTANT: This double filtering action not only ensures
that the motor is kept dirt free, but is essential in ensuring
that the cleanest air possible is exhausted, therefore
preventing dust from being spread into the environment.

3. The Foam filter. This is only used for picking up water, and
replaces both the Cartridge filter and Linen Bag during this
operation.
