How to use

Connect the appropriate hose and nozzle accessories for the task, ensuring the correct filter or foam insert is fitted when switching between dry and wet modes. Start the vacuum and move the nozzle over the surface to collect debris or liquids; for larger spills work from the perimeter toward the center. Empty the 20 L container regularly to maintain suction performance and rinse or replace filters according to the type of material collected. Store accessories on-board or in a secure place to keep the unit ready for the next job.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable filter element for fine dust to protect the motor and improve air quality when vacuuming particles. When picking up liquids, confirm that the wet insert or filter is correctly installed and avoid suction of flammable or hot liquids. Regularly inspect hoses and seals for wear and clear blockages promptly to maintain optimal performance.
