Components

Prepration

Unpacking 

With the CVAC removed from the packaging, undo the two clamps securing the head and remove the components from within the tank. Lay them out and check for shortages and that no damage was suffered in transit. For ease of mobility, the CVAC base is provided with castors, which require fitting.  Push the four castors onto their mountings firmly.

The Filter

Filters are essential to ensure that dust or foreign matter does not enter the motor compartment, which would reduce motor efficiency and eventually cause serious damage.

• Foam Filter
• Cartridge Filter
• Woven Cloth Bag Filter

Wet Use

The foam filter is only to be used for picking up water. It is the only filter used during this operation and must be fitted over the filter cage as shown. The linen and paper bag filters must be removed before using the CVAC to pick up water.

Dry Use

The Cartridge Filter must be fitted over the filter cage and is used when dry vacuuming ONLY. Remove the foam filter for dry use.

Operation

DO NOT cover the CVAC. And always position it with good all-round ventilation. The CVAC must remain upright, especially when picking up water. When moving the CVAC;

• ALWAYS use the handle.
• DO NOT lift by (or place a strain on) the hose or cable.
• After use, always switch it off and disconnect from the power supply.

These machines are provided with a standard three-pin auxiliary power take-off off which enables the machine to be used as a dust extractor for power tools. Plug the power tool into the socket and switch it on. The CVAC will automatically start.

Maintainance

Inspect all other components periodically and replace damaged castors or accessories when necessary. Contact your CLARKE dealer for replacements. Regular inspection and the correct maintenance of the filters will ensure efficient running and prolong the life of your machine.
