Despite its simple handling the wet vacuum cleaner is not suitable for chil-
dren.
The use of the wet vacuum cleaner is subject to valid national regulations.
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regu-
lations valid in the country of use, observe recognized regulations for safety
and proper use. Do not use any unsafe work techniques.
2. Transport
Before transporting the dirt tank, close all the locks. Do not tilt the cleaner
if there is liquid in the dirt tank. Only use the intended carrying handles to
transport the cleaner. Do not use a crane hook to lift the cleaner.
3. Storage
Store the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.
4. Purpose and intended use
The vacuum cleaner described in this operating manual is suitable for com-
mercial and fire brigade use.
The following materials should not be picked up by the vacuum cleaner:
-hazardous dust
-hot materials (burning cigarettes, hot ash, etc.)
-flammable, explosive, aggressive liquids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids, alka-
lis, etc.)
-flammable, explosive dust (e.g. magnesium or aluminum dust, etc.)
-hot liquids (Temperature T>50°C)
5. Precautions and safety regulations when using the vacuum cleaner
Before start-up:
Inspect power cord regularly to detect signs of damage, e.g. cracks or age-
ing.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Spechtenhauser service
or an electrician to avoid danger before use of the vacuum cleaner is contin-
ued.
Use only the type of power cord specified in the operating manual.
Do not damage the power cord (e.g. by moving over it or pulling or crushing
it). Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the
power cord).
Inspect the vacuum cleaner to ensure that it is in proper condition. Plugs
and couplings in power cords must at least have splash protection.
Never use the vacuum cleaner if the filter element is damaged.
6. Picking up liquids
If foam develops or liquid emerges, stop work immediately and empty the dirt
tank.
7. Electrical components
Check the rated voltage of the vacuum cleaner before connecting it to the
mains supply system. Ensure that the voltage shown on the type plate cor-
responds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.
If you are using an extension cord, use only those specified by the manufac-
turer or higher quality ones.
It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should be connected via a resid-
ual current circuit breaker. This stops the supply of electricity if the leakage
current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has an earth tester circuit.
The protection class of all plug connections is IP68.
