pick-up
Original instruction
Release the front latch by pulling the lower parts outwards so that the
motor top is released. Open the motor top and lift off. Remove the float
system and filter(s) from the cleaner.
Disconnect the hose from the inlet by pulling out the hose.
Empty by tilting the container backwards and pour the liquids into a
floor drain or similar. Wipe the float valve and float basket with a damp
cloth before the motor top is reinstalled to the container.
Put back the filter(s) and the motor top to the container. Secure the
motor top with the front latch.
Drain hose: VL500 have a draining hose. Detach the drain hose from
the bracket by pulling hose downwards from the cleaner. Place the
drain hose end near a floor drain and then remove the plug at hose
end. The natural pressure will then drain the liquids from the container.
Emptying from the container spout: Take off the rubber cap at the back
of the container. The drain hose must be attached during emptying
from the container. Grasp with one hand at the handle at the lower part
of the container and release the lock. To avoid movement of the trol-
ley - place one foot at the basepart of the trolley. Then tilt the container
backwards and pour the liquids into a floor drain or similar.
Open up the motor top and wipe the float valve and the float basket
with a damp cloth.
Close the motor top to the container. Secure front latch.
Be careful not to interfere hands, fingers etc. with the tilting
mechanism during emptying the container.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket before emptying after dry
pick-up. Check the filters and dustbag regularly. Release the latch by
pulling them outwards so that the motor top is released. Open up the
motor top from container.
Cartridge filter: To clean the filter you can either shake, brush or wash
it. Wait until it is dry before you reuse it. Check the motor filter, replace
it if it is clogged.
Sackfilter: Grasp the sackfilter and lift it up from cleaner. Shake filter
so that all dust is removed from the filter.
Dustbag: check bag to ensure the fill factor. Replace dust bag if nec-
essary. Remove the old bag. The new bag is fitted by passing the car-
board piece with the rubber membrane through the vacuum inlet. Make
sure that the rubber membrane is passing past the heightening at the
vacuum inlet.
After emptying: Close motor top to the container. Secure with the front
latch. Never pick up dry material without cartridge filter or sackfilter and
dustbag fitted in the machine. The suction efficiency of the vacuum
cleaner depends on the size and quality of the filter and dust bag.
Therefore - use only Original filter and dust bags.
