GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or

breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This

appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-

nances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet

is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the product - if it will not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and

has a ground plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure

1. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet

having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter

should be used with this appliance.

WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, protect

the machine from rain. Keep the machine in a dry

building.

WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, always

use a 3-wire electrical system connected to the elec-

trical ground. For maximum protection against elec-

trical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground

fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical con-

tractor.

WARNING: Do not cut, remove or break the ground

pin. If the outlet does not fit the plug, consult your

electrical contractor.

WARNING: Have worn, cut or damaged

cords replaced by an authorized service person.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors,

a plug with three terminals, and a connector body with three

holes. The machine has a power cord with wire size 16

AWG (AWG means American Wire Gauge).

WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an

extension cord with minimum wire size 14 AWG.

Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.

Do not join two extension cords.

APPLIANCE PLUG SOCKET

Before connecting any appliance to the appliance plug

socket, the machine must always be switched off. If appli-

ances 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 machine.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE MACHINE

CAUTION!

On delivery, the accessories - are lying in the tank and

must be removed before the machine is used for the first

time. See figure 2.

To assemble the machine, remove the machine top

section:

The power cord must not yet be inserted into a plug

socket.

1. Open the retaining clamps and lift off the machine top

section (Figure 3).

2. Place a bag-type filter into the tank as described in the

instructions printed on the filter.

3. Fit the machine top section back on the tank, and close

the retaining clamps.

4. Connect the suction hose. The "Wap Multifit" enables

any Wap Technology suction hoses (27, 32, 36, 50 mm

diameter) to be connected to the machine (Figure 4).

MACHINE OPERATION

Picking Up Dry Substances

Before picking up dry substances, the bag-type filter

should always be installed in the tank. It is then easy to

dispose of the material picked up and the service life of

the main filter element is significantly increased. Dry

cleaning without bag-type filter is also possible.

WARNING: Inflammable substances must not be

picked up with the machine!

After picking up liquids, the filter element is damp. Damp

filter elements can clog more quickly when dry substances

are picked up. For this reason, the filter element should

be dried or replaced before picking up any dry sub-

stances.

Picking Up Liquids

Before picking up liquids, the bag-type filter must always

be removed from the tank.

WARNING: Inflammable liquids must not be picked

up with the machine!

If foaming is observed, stop work immediately and empty

the tank.

Switching On The Machine (C.A.V 15)

Turn the switch to position "I" (Figure 3).

onto the inlet fitting.

Replacing The Filter Element

1. Switch off the machine and pull the plug of the

power cord out of the plug socket.

2. Remove the machine top section from the dirt tank
