Windsor PV5 Instruction Manuals

ELECTRICAL
The Model PV5 Wet/Dry Vacuum
Cleaner operates on standard 15 amp,
option available. Voltages below 105
volts, or above 125 volts, will cause
potentially serious damage to the vac
motors.
Thirty-five feet of 16/3 STJO cable with
a 3-prong plug is the power connection
to the machine.
This system has 3 main units:
1. Cabinet assembly with vacuum
motors, and attached electrical
cable.
2. Dome and perk/filter chamber
and cage.
3. Waste bucket.
Carefully unpack and inspect all com-
ponents for shipping damage. If you
discover any damage, notify the deliver-
ing carrier immediately. Your machine
was tested and inspected thoroughly
before shipment, and damage is the re-
sponsibility of the carrier.
OPERATION
Attach vacuum hose between the wand
and floor tool and the machine.
FOR DRY PICKUP
The waste bucket MUST have at least
5" of water in it before dry pickup is
started, and the perk/filter chamber
and cage must be in place.
FOR WET PICKUP
Wet pickup should be done with the
Insert electrical plug into 115 volt, 15
amp outlet. Make sure the dome is in
place and sealed. You may be working
on wet cerpet or wet floors, so make
sure the machine is properly grounded.
To prevent an overloaded circuit, do not
operate on the same circuit with other
appliances.
Turn power switch ON.
WARNING: When using for wet pickup
an overflow of water or dirt into the
vacuum motors can cause them to fail!!
Constantly monitor the level of waste
water in the recovery bucket. When
about 2/3rds full, shut off the machine,
remove the dome, take out bucket and
empty. Keep the exterior of the bucket
dry so no moisture gets into the vacuum
chamber. Replace the bucket, center
and seal the dome and continue
cleaning.
Do not use to pick up volatile materials
or dry chemicals. Do not expose the unit
to rain. Always store it indoors.
Do not tip over the machine. Always
operate with vac hose clipped by rope
leash to the machine.
AFTER CLEANING
Empty the waste water bucket and rinse
it thoroughly. Wipe out tank. Wipe off
machine and wand with a damp cloth.
Clean lint from the two air screens
inside the vacuum chamber before each
use.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically inspect the surfaces, hoses,
cable, filters and connections on your
machine. All surfaces should be clean to
minimize abrasion damage. Use only
soap and water for cleaning your
machine. Do not walk on hoses. Keep
them clean and unkinked. Frayed spots
on hoses should be covered and end
connectors kept snug. Because the
electrical cable will lie on carpet or
floors at times, the cable must be well
insulated and cable connector screws
should be tight. Do not walk on the
cable or run machinery over it. If the
cable insulation is broken or frayed,
repair or replace it immediately. Don't
take chances with an electrical fire or
shock.
If necessary, the plastic perk/filter
chamber can be removed for cleaning
by releasing the rod that holds it in
place. When replacing the chamber be
sure rubber gasket in dome elbow is in
place.
