BRAND-BZW. EXPLOSIONSGEFAHR

Before putting the cleaner into operation, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions thoroughly and keep them close at hand for future reference.

The cleaner may only be used by persons trained in its use and expressly authorised to use it.

GENERAL

Operation of this cleaner is subject to the applicable national regulations.

In addition to these operating instructions and the binding regulations on accident prevention applicable in the country of use, the generally acknowledged technical rules for safe and correct working must also be observed.

Any method of work endangering health or safety is forbidden!

HEALTH-ENDANGERING DUSTS*)

This cleaner is not suitable for picking up health-endangered dusts.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

The following materials must not be picked up with the cleaner:

Hot materials (glowing cigarettes, hot ashes, etc.)
Inflammable, explosive or aggressive fluids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids, alkalines, etc.)
Inflammable, explosive dusts (e.g. magnesium or aluminium dust, etc.).

APPLIANCE PLUG SOCKET

Before connecting any appliance to the appliance plug socket, the cleaner must always be switched off.

If appliances are connected to the appliance plug socket, ensure that these appliances are also switched off when being connected to the appliance plug socket.

CAUTION!

The operating instructions and the safety precautions contained therein must be observed when using appliances connected to the appliance plug socket of the cleaner.

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using the cleaner for the first time, check that it is in a good and safe condition.

Plugs and connectors of mains leads must be at least splash water-proof.

Check the mains connection and mains plug.

Inspect the mains lead at regular intervals for damage or signs of ageing. Use the cleaner only when the mains lead is in a good and safe condition.

(Damaged mains leads present a danger of electric shocks!)

Use the cleaner only with an undamaged filter element.

DURING OPERATION

Take care not to damage the mains lead (e.g. by driving over, pinching or dragging). Pull out the mains plug only directly at the plug, i.e. not by pulling at the mains lead.

Before picking up liquids, the filter bag must be removed and the function of the float switch checked. If foaming is observed, stop work immediately and empty the tank.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

CAUTION!

Before cleaning and servicing the cleaner, always remove the mains plug.

Carry out only maintenance operations described in these operating instructions. Use only original Wap spare parts.

Do not make any technical modifications to the cleaner.

CAUTION!

Your safety could be endangered as a result!

For all other maintenance and repair work, please contact the Wap Service department or an authorised specialist workshop!

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Check the rated voltage of the cleaner before connecting it to the mains power supply. Ensure that the voltage specified on the rating plate corresponds to the local mains voltage.

When connected to the mains power supply with a mains lead of type H 07 RN-F 3G 1.5 mm², the cleaner may also be used outdoors.

When using an extension lead or replacing the mains lead, the lead type specified by the manufacturer must always be used.

We recommend that the power supply to the cleaner be connected via an earth-leakage circuit breaker which interrupts the power supply either if the earth leakage current exceeds 30mA for 30 ms, or it contains an earthing test current circuit.

When using an extension lead, observe the minimum cross-sections of the leads:

Cable length m	Cross-section mm2
up to 20	1.5
20 to 50	2.5

Always arrange the current-carrying parts (plug sockets, plugs and connectors) and lay extension leads so that the protection class of the cleaner is maintained.

CAUTION!

Never spray the top section of the cleaner with water: Danger for persons, danger of short circuits.

The latest edition of the IEC Regulations must be observed.

ASSEMBLY

Push the swivel joint forward until it engages. (Fig. 1)

SECURING THE TANK (Fig. 2)

Place the suction unit onto the swivel joint. Secure the suction unit with the two star-head bolts supplied.

SECURING THE HANDLE (Fig. 3)

Pull up the grip on the tank and remove the cover. Push the holder for the crevice nozzle onto the handle. Secure the handle to the tank with the star-head bolt.

CONNECTING THE FLOOR BRUSH (Fig. 4)

Insert the plug of the floor brush power cable into the plug socket on the suction unit.

ATTACHING ACCESSORIES

Push the crevice nozzle into the holder on the rear and the universal nozzle onto the nozzle holder on the front of the guide tube (Fig. 5).

ASSEMBLING THE ACCESSORIES

The flexible suction hose has two different connectors (1 hand tube with suction force controller, 1 hose connector). Push the extension onto the hand tube with the suction force controller (Fig. 6).

COMPLETING THE CLEANER (Fig. 7)

1 =Push the mounting onto the suction unit and press the suction hose into the guide on the rear of the suction unit.
2 = Press the extension tube into the 3 = guide on the rear of the suction unit.
4 = Press the suction hose into the holder above the swivelling cable holder.
5 = Wrap the mains lead around the swivelling cable holder (Fig. 2)

TILTING THE HANDLE (Fig. 8)

Press the pedal down with your foot and tilt the handle.

Please note: The floor brush is switched off when the cleaner is upright and when the extension tube is removed. When the extension tube is fitted again, it must engage correctly otherwise the floor brush will remain switched off.

PILE FINE ADJUSTMENT(Fig.9)

Three pile fine
adjustments allow
individual adaption to
extreme carpet surfaces
and to hard floor
coverings.

Normal floor coverings Loop pile carpets High-pile carpets

SUCTION FORCE CONTROL (Fig. 10)

The suction force controller on the hand tube allows the desired suction force at the nozzle to be adjusted.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF (Fig. 11)

Actuate the switch to turn the cleaner ON and OFF. Position "I" ON Position "O" OFF

FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR (Fig. 12)

The red lamp of the electric filter change indicator lights up when the filter bag has to be changed or when the suction channel is clogged.

The filter change indicator evaluates the air permeability of the twinply filter bag.

Filter bag empty: No reaction of the indicator (high air permeability)

Filter bag full: The filter change indicator lights up (filter bag not permeable to air) The filter bag has to be replaced.

Please note that when picking up cement, plaster or extremely fine dusts, the air permeability of the filter bag can be impaired to such an extent that the filter

change indicator lights up although the filter bag is still relatively empty. In this case the filter bag has to be replaced because otherwise the suction power will be excessively reduced. If the filter change indicator remains lit even after changing the filter bag, the suction channel (tube, nozzles, suction hose, hose fitting or filter bag) is clogged. After clearing the clogging, the red indicator light goes out.

MAINTENANCE

Before maintenance and repair work, remove the mains plug from the plug socket!

OPENING THE SUCTION UNIT (Fig. 13)

Pull up the grip on the tank and remove the cover.

INSERTING THE FILTER BAG (Fig. 14)

Push the filter bag with the reinforcing sleeve onto the fitting of the suction tank. The tank can only be closed when a filter bag has been fitted.

Please use original filter bags as these are optimally designed for the function of the cleaner.

No claim under warranty will be accepted for any damage resulting from the use of filter bags of other brands.

Filter bags can be reordered under the Order No. 64895.

One pack contains:

5 filter bags

1 micro exhaust air filter

2 motor protection filters

REPLACING THE MICRO EXHAUST AIR FILTER (Fig.15)

When the filter bag has been changed 5 times, the micro exhaust air filter must also be changed: Open the tank and pull the filter cassette upwards out of the guide.

Open the cassette and replace the micro exhaust air filter, close the cassette again and push into the guide up to the stop.

REPLACING THE MOTOR PROTECTION FILTER (Fig. 16)

When the filter bag has been changed 5 times or in the event of extreme soiling, the motor protection filter must also be changed: Open the tank and pull the filter cassette out of the guide to the front. Open the cassette and replace the motor protection filter, close the cassette again and push into the guide up to the stop.

CLEANING THE CLEANER

Remove the mains plug from the plug socket. Clean the cleaner only dry or with a damp cloth. Never immerse in water. The filter chamber should also be cleaned with a damp cloth, when necessary.

ELECTRONIC BRUSH AND SUCTION CONTROL

The cleaner is equipped with an electronic overload protection device (Fig. 17 B).

The overload protection device trips if the brush motor is overloaded. In this case the red blocking indicator lights up. (Fig. 17 A).

Remove the mains plug from the plug socket, determine and eliminate the cause of the overload. Tilt the fixed tank and press in the knob of the overload protection device on the motor hood. The machine is now ready for operation again.

REPLACING THE TOOTHED BELTS AND BRUSH ROLLER

Caution: Remove the mains plug from the plug socket!

Position the locking bolts in a horizontal position before removing the baseplate. (Fig. 18).

Remove the brush roller from the floor brush. Fit the new toothed belts, thread the brush roller through the flat belt and pull forward until the bearings can be inserted into the housing guide (Fig. 19).

When inserting the bearings, ensure that

both have the same mark.

I = Cam for new brush roller

II = Cam for partly worn brush roller

Fit and lock the baseplate, ensuring that the retaining caps of the baseplate engage on the front edge of the housing (Fig. 20).
