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 prop-
erty!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE TO PICK UP VOLATILE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS.

OPERATION

To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of the correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt,
ask your supervisor.
FOR DRY PICK-UP:
"Dry" refers to material such as dust, dirt, debris and dry foam shampoo.
1. Release the clamp on the side of the tank and head assembly. Lift the head assembly off and set it aside.
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 thor-
oughly.
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 the clamp. 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.
7. Turn the machine's motor on by pressing the rocker switch which is located on the head assembly.
FOR WET PICK-UP:
"Wet" refers to liquids such as water, scrub solutions and detergents; NOT volatile or explosive materials.
1. Release the clamp on the side of the tank and head assembly. Lift the head assembly off and set it aside.
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.
3. Empty the collector tank of all dust and debris. Also wipe the inside of the collector tank to remove clinging
dust.
4. Check the float shut-off device on the lower portion of the head assembly. The float should have free move-
ment. 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.
5. Replace the head assembly and fasten the clamp. 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.
7. Turn the machine's motor on by pressing the rocker switch which is located on the head assembly.
