Cleaning the filter
Motor protection filter
Fig. 16 The black fibre filter bag is located on the underside of the top section of your VO-3000 and protects
the motor from dust and debris during dry vacuuming.
Fig. 17 This filter can be removed and lightly swilled under cold water to remove any debris. Ensure it is completely
dry before replacing.
Attention: The black fibre filter bag must always be used when dry vacuuming.

Storage
Fig. 18 Tube sections and tools can be stored inside the vacuum cleaner.
Fig. 19 When not in use, the flexible tube can be stored as shown.
Important notes/ troubleshooting
1) If the suction is significantly reduced, the filter may require cleaning.
2) During wet vacuuming, if the float rises and blocks suction, you will notice the change in the sound that the
machine makes. This is a safety feature and is intended to prevent continued use when the recovery tank is full of
liquid. Switch off the appliance, empty the liquid, re-assemble and then restart.

•The plug must be removed from the mains socket outlet before cleaning or maintaining the appliance.
