degrees to the joints.
– The inclined position and the inclination
of the suction bar can be adjusted to
achieve better suction results (see "Ad-

closes the suction opening and the suc-
tion turbine runs at an increased speed. If
this is the case, shut the vacuum off and
drive to empty the waste water tank.
