This guarantees an air-tight seal. The hose is correctly connected to the tank. The machine is connected to the correct electrical supply with the switch in the 0 (OFF) position. Initial working phase check Before beginning to vacuum, check that the filters fit properly within the device and that they are positioned correctly. Make sure that all drain caps are in place and sealed. The vacuum has a float valve to seal the air flow to the vacuum motors when the liquid being vacuumed reaches the maximum level in the tank. The motors will still run but the sound will be become higher and there will be no suction. To drain the tank: 1. Switch off all motors and disconnect from the power source. 2. Empty the tank USE OF THE DEVICE ATTENTION The vacuum cleaner must not be used for hazardous dusts including flammable and/or explosive material. ATTENTION END OF WORK ACTIVITIES Must be carried out in a suitable, controlled are area with the relevant PPE and methodology being used.
