airflow through the machine when the maximum liquid level is
reached. Never pick up liquid without the float body in place.

taining foaming detergents. Use a defoamer recommended by
the detergent manufacturer.
During wet suction of foam: On two-motor-machines always
run the machine with only one motor on, in order to avoid ex-
treme foaming and ensure the fill factor of the container.
The machine is equipped with a float body that shuts of the airflow
through the machine when the maximum liquid level is reached. You
will then hear a noticeable change of the sound from the motor and
notice that the suction power decreases. When this occurs, switch the
machine off. Disconnect the machine from the socket.
Before emptying the container, unplug the vacuum cleaner. Always empty and
clean the container and the float system after picking-up liquids. Never pick up
