Kleenmaid VC500 - Manual (Page 3)

The machine has an information display on
the power head with four lights to monitor the
automatic functions.
The two green lights (a, b) indicate the brush
adjustments of the Active Height Control system.
The power head maintains the optimum brush
height continuously by activating the adjustment
wheel (41). The lights will flash intermittently as
the machine is moved over the floor. When the
machine is clicked into the upright position the
brush head automatically lifts from the floor.
The two red lights (c, d) are warning lights.
If red light “d“ is shining continuously, the bag is
full, the filters require replacement, or there is a
blockage. When the light is flashing the machine
has shut off to prevent overheating
If red light ”c“is on continuously the brush is
worn out. When the light flashes and the
machine has stopped, then the machine has
shut off because of a jammed brush or to
prevent carpet damage.
If the red light ”c“ flashes when using the hose
with the machine in the upright position, then it
is warning that the brush is making contact with
the floor. Avoid tilting the brush head on to the
floor when using the hose.
To release the machine from the upright posi-
tion, press the foot pedal (19) down. With the
orange slider (20) an intermediate stop positi-
on can be added to lift the brush over obsta-
cles. Then to lower the machine to the hori-
zontal position, press the foot pedal again.
To use the telescopic hose system (12), put the
machine into the upright position, then lift the
tube from the machine and stretch out the hose
until it locks. When the tube is returned to the
machine, insure it is pushed down over the
projection (22) on the housing. The hose can be
used on its own when the tube is fitted to the
housing. The attachments (17, 18) fit either to
the end of the hose or the end of the tube.
CAUTION:
Do not run the brush over rug fringes.
Do not stand the machine over rug edges
or fringes when using the hose.
Do not tilt the brush head on to the floor
when using the hose. Unless clicked
upright the machine will brush the floor.
Some floor coverings and rugs are very
delicate and we advise using the attach-
ment tube with an appropriate floor nozzle
attachment for these. On rough or uneven
hard floors take care to prevent contact bet-
ween the floor and the bottom plate.
Never run over the cable with the brush.
Always carry the machine over steps and
sills.
