English
NOTE
Since the fi lter cleaning device operates when the
suction power declines to some extent, it also operates
in the following cases:
○ When the suction mouth at the tip of the hose is closed.
○ When the hose is clogged with foreign matter.
To clean the fi lter using a strong air fl ow:
(1) Pull out the zoom pipe on the tip of the hose.
(2) Block off the tip of the hose with your hand and turn
the power switch ON. Next, press the dust button on
the top of the head for approximately one second and
release the button. Repeat three times and the suction
power should recover.
If the suction power is not recovered, the tank is almost
fi lled with dusts. Dump dusts in the tank.
6. Dump dusts (Fig. 11)
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the vacuum switch and disconnect
the battery.
CAUTION
○ Do not impact the tank, the fi lter, or the head. Otherwise
they will be deformed or damaged.
○ Although it is based on the amount of suction of dusts
and liquids, dump dusts and liquids in the tank at least
once a day and keep the appliance, the fi lter, etc. clean.
Otherwise suction power fall, motor failure, bad smell
or rusting may be caused.
○ Do not hold the clamps when you dump dusts in the
tank. Otherwise the clamps may be damaged.
NOTE
Do not tilt the tank with accessories (Zoom pipe,
Master nozzle, etc.) inserted in the base or in the tank.
Otherwise any part may be damaged.
WARNING
If the appliance is pushed on its side while the tank
contains liquid, the liquid will get inside the motor
or switch region, causing an electric shock or motor
failure.
(1) Remove the clamps (2 pieces) and raise the handle of
the head.
(2) Lightly striking the inner side of the fi lter several times,
remove dusts attached to the fi lter.
(3) Tilt the tank and dump dusts.
(4) Attach the fi lter, the fi lter cage, the head, and the clamp
in the initial positions.
7. Transportation and storage
(1) How to use the handle (Fig. 12)
When carrying or moving the appliance, hold the
handle of the head part. When you do not use the
handle, put it in the head part.
(2) Fixation and release of the caster (Fig. 13)
By lowering the lever of the caster with the brake, the
rotation of the wheel is fi xed. When releasing the fi xed
wheel, raise the lever. When moving with the appliance
on a vehicle, fi x the caster to retain the appliance.
However, when you move the appliance, check that the
caster is released, or the caster will be damaged.
(3) Tool box assembly (Fig.14)
(4) Storing the appliance during breaks (Fig. 15)
Anytime you stop work or take a break from cleaning,
you can quickly store the unit by hooking the zoom pipe
to the pipe holder (the hole at the top of the unit) so that
it stands.
(5) When the appliance is stored (Fig. 16)
After removing the suction opening and hose, hook the
zoom pipe to the pipe holder so that it stands. Store the
master nozzle, crevice nozzle and battery in the tool
box.
NOTE
When the attachments are stored in the appliance, do
not apply any excess force to the attachments.
8. How to attach the paper fi lter (Optional) (Fig. 17)
WARNING
○ Be sure to turn off the appliance and remove the
battery.
○ When using a paper fi lter, use it in combination with the
standard cloth fi lter.
If the paper fi lter gets torn, dust may get inside the motor,
causing abnormal noise or fi re due to overheating.
CAUTION
When using a paper fi lter, avoid sucking in liquids such
as water or wet dust, as this may lead to tearing of the
fi lter.
(1) Open the paper fi lter horizontally so that the suction
hole in the paper fi lter is over the top of the tank.
(2) Before attaching the fi lter to the appliance, bend the
two folds in the cardboard approx. 90° in the direction
of the arrow.
(3) Match the suction hole in the paper fi lter with the
suction opening of the appliance. Insert the fi lter in
the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustration,
so that the cardboard of the paper fi lter goes past the
stopper on the suction opening.
FLOAT MECHANISM
This appliance is equipped with a fl oat mechanism to
prevent water from entering in the motor when it sucks
in more than a specifi c quantity of water. When the fl oat
operates not to suck in water, turn off the switch promptly
and throw away water in the tank.
WARNING
○ With the fl oat working, do not continue operation.
Otherwise the temperature of the motor may rise
abnormally causing troubles such as deformation of
parts or motor burnout.
○ Avoid sucking in foaming liquid such as detergent or
foams. Before the fl oat works, foams may spurt from
the air outlet. If you continue to use the appliance as it
is, it will lead to electric shock or failure.
ABOUT REMAINING BATTERY
INDICATOR
Remaining battery power can be verifi ed with either the
battery or with the cleaner itself. (Fig. 18)
NOTE
○ The reading for the remaining battery power may diff er
on the battery from that of the cleaner.
○ Use the remaining batter power as a guideline since
the readings may somewhat diff er due to surrounding
temperature or battery feature.
HOW TO RECHARGE USB DEVICE
(UC18YSL3)
(1) Select a charging method
○ Charging a USB device from a electrical outlet (Fig. 19-a)
○ Charging a USB device and battery from a electrical
outlet (Fig. 19-b)
