Remove cartridge filter and dust bag if fitted (see 3.9 & 3.10).
4. 4.
Fit the blue foam filter in place (fig 8).

4. 10. To vacuum large quantities of liquid, i.e from a sink, or tank, etc; do not immerse the nozzle
completely in the liquid, leave a gap at one end of the nozzle to allow a partial air inflow. (fig 9).
4. 11.
The machine is fitted with a FLOAT VALVE which stops the suction action when the tank has
reached its maximum capacity. The user will also be aware of increased motor revolutions.
When this happens, turn the machine off, disconnect from mains, remove the head from
tank. Take care to maintain balance and not let trolley slip, and empty liquid out of the tank into
an appropriate receptacle or drain (fig 10), & (11). To continue vacuuming reverse
the process and proceed.

USE AS VALETING MACHINE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE VACUUM’S USE AS AN AUTOMOTIVE/INDUSTRIAL, FABRIC & UPHOLSTERY CLEANER.
F
WARNING! USE THE CORRECT DETERGENT:
DETERGENT SUPPLIED WITH THE MACHINE. CONTACT YOUR SEALEY DEALER FOR SUPPLIES. DO NOT (UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES)
p
USE DOMESTIC DETERGENT OR ANY OTHER GENERAL PURPOSE CARPET CLEANER, CAR WASH, CLEANING OR UPHOLSTERY DETERGENT.
OTHER DETERGENTS PRODUCE EXCESSIVE FOAM WHICH IS UNDESIRABLE FOR THE CLEANING PROCESS AND CAN DAMAGE THE WORKING
PARTS OF YOUR MACHINE. IF, ( WHEN USING THE RECOMMENDED DETERGENT) YOU FIND EXCESSIVE FOAM BEING PRODUCED, THIS MEANS
THE CARPET OR FABRIC HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY CLEANED WITH A FOAMING DETERGENT. IF THIS HAPPENS, ADD 10cl OF ANTI-FOAMING
AGENT (SEALEY PART NO VMR922) TO THE MAIN WASTE WATER TANK.
