GB

on to the outside of the wheels (13) so that the detents engage on the covers (32) for the wheel (13). (Fig. 11)

Fitting the castors (Fig. 12/12)

Fit the castors (12) into the appropriate mountings on the underside of the tank (10). Push the castors (12) firmly into the mounting until they engage with a clicking noise (Fig. 12).

Fitting the handle (Fig. 13/1)

Place the handle (1) into the handle mounts (a) of the tank and secure the handle with the supplied screws (34) as shown in Figure 13.

Fitting the appliance head (Fig. 14-15/5)

The appliance head (5) is fastened to the container (10) by the locking hook (18). To remove the appliance head (5), open the locking hook (18) and remove the appliance head (5). When fi tting the appliance head (5), make sure that the locking hook (18) locks into place correctly.

5.2 Fitting the fi Iter Notice!

Never use the wet and dry vacuum cleaner without a filter.

Check that the filter is securely fitted at all times.

For wet vacuuming, slip the supplied foam fi liter (25) over the fi liter basket (Fig. 2/20). The pleated filter (24) already fitted upon delivery is not suitable for wet vacuuming.

Fitting the pleated fi Iter (Fig. 17/24)

For dry-vacuuming, slip the pleated fi Iter (Fig. 3/24) over the fi Iter basket (Fig. 2/20). The pleated fi Iter (24) is suitable for dry-vacuuming only.
