For your own safety
Before using the vacuum cleaner, always read the operating
instructions and keep them
readily available.
Only allow the vacuum cleaner
to be used by persons who
have been trained in its use
and who have been explicitly
authorized to use it.
General
The use of the vacuum cleaner is subject to valid national
regulations.
1)
Option depending on model
The vacuum cleaner is suitable
for commercial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offi ces and rental
businesses.
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident
prevention regulations valid in
the country of use, observe recognized regulations for safety
and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Hazardous dust
This vacuum cleaner is not suitable for removing hazardous
dust.
Risk of fi re and explosion
The following materials should
not be sucked into the vacuum
cleaner:
Use the socket on the vacuum
cleaner for the purpose defi ned
in the operating instructions
only.
Before plugging an appliance
into the appliance socket:
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner
2. Switch off the appliance to
be connected.
CAUTION!
Follow the operating instructions and safety instructions for
appliances connected to the
appliance socket.
Transport
After sucking up water, do not
tilt the cleaner or transport it in
a horizontal position.
Before starting the vacuum
cleaner
Before starting the vacuum
cleaner, check that it is in
proper condition. Plugs and
couplings in power cords must
at least have splash protection.
Regularly check whether the
power cord is damaged or
shows signs of aging.
Before using the cleaner, ensure that the cover and power
cord are intact. (There is risk of
electrocution if they are damaged.)
CAUTION!
Before sucking in liquids, remove the fi lter bag and check the
performance of the fl oater (see
section 7.2.3).
If foam appears, stop
work immediately and empty
the tank.
Maintenance and repair
CAUTION!
Always pull out the mains
plug before cleaning and servicing the vacuum clea -ner.
Only carry out maintenance
work described in the operating
instructions.
CAUTION!
Use original Alto accessories
and parts only. The use of
other parts can adversely affect
safety.
CAUTION!
Do not make technical modifi cations to the vacuum cleaner.
They could endanger your
safety.
For further maintenance or repair work and the replacement
of a faulty power cord please
contact the Alto service department or an authorized Alto
workshop.
Electrical connections
by the manufacturer or higher
quality ones (see section 9.4
"Technical data").
It is recommended that the
vacuum cleaner is connected
via a residual current circuit
breaker. This device stops the
supply of electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30
mA for 30 ms or it has an earth
tester circuit.
When using an extension cord,
check the minimum cross-sections of the cable:
Cable length Cross section
m mm
2
up to 20 1.5
20 to 50 2.5
Arrange the electrical parts
(sockets, plugs and couplings)
and lay down the extension
cord so that protection class is
maintained.
CAUTION!
Never spray water on to the
upper section of the vacuum
cleaner: danger for persons,
risk of short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the
IEC regulations.
Never use the vacuum cleaner
if the fi lter element is damaged.
During use
Do not damage the power cord
(e.g. by moving over it or pulling
or squeezing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).
16
Check the rated voltage of the
vacuum cleaner before connecting it to the mains supply
system. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the
local mains power supply.
If you are using an extension
cord, use only those specifi ed

cleaning effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if
you follow just a few guidelines
5.1.1 Picking up dry sub -
stances
CAUTION!
Do not pick up fl ammable
substances.
Before picking up dry substances, always ensure that a
fi lter bag is inserted in the tank
(see section 9.5 "Accessories"
for order number). Disposal of
the picked up material is then
simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the fi lter
5.1.2 Picking up liquids
CAUTION!
Do not pick up fl ammable
liquids.
Always remove the fi lter bag
and check the fl oater before
picking up liquids (see section 7.2.3 "Replacing the fi lter
element").
The use of a separate fi lter ele-
ment or fi lter screen is recom-
mended.

practical experience in special
fi elds.
Here are some basic tips.
element is wet. A damp fi lter
element clogs more quickly
when dry substances are
picked up. For this reason the
fi lter element should be washed
and dried or replaced by a dry
element before dry substances
are picked up.
If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank.
To reduce the amount of foam,
use foam killer Alto Foam Stop
(see section 9.5 "Accessories"
for order number).
