Auto-suction stop during wet
suction operation
WARNING:
Do not use for a long time while
the float is at work. Using the cleaner with its float at
work for a long time can cause overheat, resulting in
the cleaner deformation.
WARNING:
Do not pick up foam or soapy
liquid. It can cause foam to come out of air exit
before the float works. Continuous use under such
conditions may cause an electric shock and breakage
of the cleaner.
The auto-suction stop feature works only while the
cleaner is used with the float and float cage.
The cleaner has a float mechanism that prevents water
from entering into the motor when picking up more than
a certain amount of water. When the tank is full and the
cleaner no longer picks up water, switch off the cleaner
and empty the tank.
Locking and unlocking casters
Rear casters can be locked with stoppers to help the
cleaner stand still.
Lower the stopper lever by hand to lock the caster, and
raise it up to release.

tion 4. Locked position
NOTE: When moving the cleaner, make sure that the
caster is unlocked. Moving the cleaner with the caster
in a locked position may cause damage to the caster.

Lift and carry the appliance with
due care. Failing to do so may result in personal
injury or damage to the appliance.
When carrying the cleaner, carry it by holding the han-
dle on the head unit. The handle is retractable on the
head unit when not in use.

Never pick up water or other liq-
uids or wet dusts when using the powder filter.

NOTICE:
Before using the powder filter, make
sure that prefilter and damper are used together. It
is not allowed to install powder filter alone.
Installing water filter
Optional accessory
NOTICE:
Never pick up water or wet dust without
the float and the cloth filter or the water filter.
NOTICE:
For picking up wet dust, make sure that
the float cage and the float are installed on the
cleaner.
NOTICE:
When installing the water filter on the
tank, set it tight at the opening of the tank so
that the hook of the water filter engages the tank
opening firmly and there is no space between the
water filter and the tank.
To pick up water or wet dust only, the water filter is more
suitable than the cloth filter.
When installing the water filter, align its mounting posi-
tion marking with the one on the tank.

NOTE: It is recommended using water filter when
picking up large amount of water repeatedly.
Otherwise vacuum ability may be reduced in case of
cloth filter.
