Introduction

Your new machine is a tough, powerful and extremely versatile Wet & Dry vacuum cleaner and carpet shampooer. In addition to normal household cleaning it can be used for:

• Liquids: spills and leaks, blocked sinks

and soakaways, floods, ponds and

cleaning out chest freezers after

defrosting.

• Bulky waste: sawdust, wood shavings,

plaster, sand, grinding dust, nails, screws,

broken glass, soil in the potting shed.

• Shampooing: carpets, chairs, sofas

and seats.

How does your cleaner work?

Wet and dry vacuuming usage

A heavy duty motor is located on top of the waste tank. The powerful vacuum lifts dirt and liquids through the hose which settle in the bottom of the tank. This arrangement protects the motor from liquids. A float shutoff valve cuts off the suction when the waste tank gets full of liquid.

A long-life cartridge filter is used when picking up dry waste to prevent fine particles being blown back out again. Paper bags can also be used for easier disposal.

Your Wet & Dry may sound louder than smaller conventional cleaners. This is normal for a heavy duty motor, designed to provide power and long life.

Tip: Do not press down when cleaning let the powerful suction do the work.

Shampooing usage

Water, mixed with a cleaning solution, is pumped deep into the fibres of a carpet via the shampoo nozzle. The water can then be sucked back into the waste tank along with the dirt and grime dislodged by the cleaning solution. Water can be pumped up to 2 metres above the machine so that stairs may also be shampooed.

These instructions first cover wet and dry usage, first section of this booklet; then how the shampooing facility, second section of this booklet.
