INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF ALL KERSTAR WET & DRY
VACUUM CLEANERS
This machine can be used to pick up water (WET) OR to pick up general dust, dirt etc. (DRY).
To set up for wet use
1. Remove motor head
2. Remove dry fi lter and paper bag / fi lter
3. Make sure the canister is empty and clean
4. Place the fl oat assembly in the canister
5. Replace motor head – the machine is now ready for wet use only
6. When the machine is full, the fl oat will rise automatically and cut off the suction, thus preventing
any more water being picked up. The machine should then be emptied.
WARNING Switch off and remove plug before cleaning or emptying. During wet use if foam or
liquid comes from the exhaust, switch off immediately.
If liquid comes from the exhaust, foam is being generated in the canister, remove the plug from
the supply socket. Separate the vacuum motor head from the canister and tip the liquid out of the
exhaust vent until completely drained. Leave the vacuum motor head in a warm and dry environment
for at least twelve hours before using again.
