SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
KOBE VACUUM CLEANERS
have been specifically designed to help you work SAFELY and
EFFICIENTLY. Electric tools can be dangerous if correct safety procedures are not observed. Basic
precautions that will reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury are as follows:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
You have purchased a quality product that is
designed for high performance and long service life.
If correct use, safety and maintenance procedures
are observed this cleaner will last for many years.
GENERAL SAFETY
Do not expose electric tools to rain or damp
conditions. Ensure work area is well lit. Do not
use electrical tools near flammable liquids or
gases.
Store tool in dry, secure place.
Before using tool ensure that all parts are
functional. A damaged part should be repaired
and serviced by an authorised technician.
Stay alert at all times. Watch what you are doing
and use your common sense. Do not operate
tools when you are tired.
Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an
engine generator or DC power source.
Do not use this appliance before reading and
understanding these safety and operating
instructions.
Always check the power supply cable before
switching on. Do not operate if the cable or plug is
worn, loose or damaged. Only allow damaged
parts to be replaced by a qualified technician.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to clean up any
combustible or explosive substances such as
petrol, solvents, alcohol or oil.
Do not clean up any materials that are damaging
to health - eg. asbestos, etc. - contact your Local
Authority for advice.

PRESSURE RELEASE
To quickly reduce the
vacuum pressure at the
cleaning head slide the
pressure release to the
open position. This
setting may also be more
suitable for cleaning
delicate drapes etc.
ACCESSORY PORTS -
MODEL 523i only.
For easy, single handled
transportation, all accessories
can be stowed in the integral
ports located on each castor
housing.
AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF
FLOAT
When handling fluids KOBE vacuum cleaners employ
a cut-out mechanism to prevent fluid level in the
waste compartment exceeding a safe level. If the
float engages, switch the cleaner off, release the
waste compartment and dispose of contents
appropriately.
The float will also engage if the cleaner topples onto
its side.
To reset, switch off the cleaner and wait for the
motor to stop. The float will then be heard to drop
back into place.

Before replacing the filter wipe the rubber seal and
motor housing rim to ensure an effective fit.
