IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE!

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1. You must be trained to operate this machine. This machine is to be operated for its intended use only.

2. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.

3. Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection against electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical contractor.

4. To prevent electrical shock: Always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before performing any repairs, maintenance or cleanup and when leaving the machine unattended.

5. To prevent electrical shock: Keep the machine surface dry; Do not subject to rain; Store the machine in a dry building area; Clean the machine with a dry cloth only.

6. Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use or store this machine with or near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials. Do not use flammables to clean this machine.

7. Maintenance and repairs must be done by a qualified or authorized person.

8. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

9. To avoid damage to the machine’s electrical cord, always lift the machine over the cord. Do not run the machine over the electircal cord.

10. Make sure all labels, decals, warnings, cautions and instructions are fastened to the machine.

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire 16/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.

When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.

NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

OPERATING PROCEDURES

WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow the instructions given in this booklet and the training given by your supervisor. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!

WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE TO PICK UP

VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS.

DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE

ENVIRONMENT!

FOR WET PICK-UP:

“Wet” refers to liquids such as water, scrub solutions and detergents; NOT VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS.

To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of the correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt, ask your supervisor.

1.

Release the clamp on each side of the tank and head assembly.

Lift the head assembly off and set it aside.

FOR DRY PICK-UP:

“Dry” refers to material such as dust, dirt, debris and dry foam shampoo.

2.

Then lift the cloth filter assembly out of the collector tank.

Store the filter assembly for future, dry pick-up use. DO

NOT REINSTALL.

1.

Release the clamp on each side of the tank and head assembly.

Lift the head assembly off and set it aside.

3.

Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. Also wipe the inside of the collector tank to remove clinging dust.

2.

Then lift the cloth filter assembly out of the collector tank.

Clean the cloth filter if needed (reference the “Maintenance” section).

3.

Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. If the debris is wet, empty and dry the inside of the tank thoroughly.

4.

Check the float shut-off device on the lower portion of the head assembly. The float should have free movement. When the recovered liquid soilage reaches the collector tank capacity, the float will rise to shut off the air flow, stopping the liquid recovery. This prevents damaging overflow and signals the operator when to empty the collector tank.

4.

Place the cloth filter assembly back into the collector tank.

Check for a good seal around the outer filter lip and tank rim.

5.

Replace the head assembly and fasten both clamps. Attach the hose, wand and floor tool of choice (reference page 5).

6.

Plug the power cord into a 115-volt, 60 cycle grounded outlet.

5.

Replace the head assembly and fasten both clamps. Attach the hose, wand and floor tool of choice (reference page 5).

7.

Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker switch which is located on the head assembly.

6.

Plug the power cord into a 115-volt, 60 cycle grounded outlet.

7.

Turn the machine’s motor on by pressing the rocker switch which is located on the head assembly.

MAINTENANCE

Good maintenance procedures assure better operation, fewer repairs and longer life to your machine.

DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG OF THE MA-

CHINE FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE

DOING ANY CLEANUP, REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE

OF THE MACHINE AND WHEN LEAVING THE MACHINE

UNATTENDED.

CLEAN THE MACHINE AFTER EACH USE:

1. Wipe the outside with a clean cloth.

2. Clean the collector tank: Release the clamps on each side of the tank and head assembly. Lift the head assembly off and set aside. Lift the filter assembly out of the collector tank and set aside. Then wipe the inside of the collector tank with a clean cloth.

3. Empty and check the filter assembly: Empty the recovered soilage into a suitable container and shake to remove clinging dirt. Brush the outside of the filter bag to remove embedded dirt. Check the filter assembly for tears or holes; repair or replace if necessary. Install the clean filter assembly into the clean collector tank.

3

ELECTRICAL CABLE:

Check the cord for any nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.

VACUUM HEAD ASSEMBLY:

1. Gaskets: Clean the vacuum head gasket and the float shut-off gasket.

2. Float Shut-Off Device: This should move freely. Remove any debris or strings from the float cage.

3. Head Assembly: Replace and leave ajar if the collector tank is damp to prevent mildew.

WHEELS AND CASTERS:

Check these for cuts and nicks. Remove any strings or debris that may restrict the free movement of the wheels. Wipe the treads clean.

CARBON BRUSH INSPECTION:

Check for wear at six month intervals or every 600 hours of operation. The carbon brushes must be replaced if worn shorter than 3/8 inch.
