Good maintenance procedures assure better operation,
fewer repairs and longer life to your machine.
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG OF THE
MACHINE 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 as-
sembly 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 assem-
bly for tears or holes; repair or replace if necessary.
Install the clean filter assembly into the clean collec-
tor tank.

MAINTENANCE

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 (23) and the
float shut-off gasket (24 on page 6).
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 collec-
tor 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.
