  • Page 8: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Filling: Fill the solution tank with the desired amount of water and add liquid cleaning solution to the proper dilution ratio. DO NOT USE powdered cleaning chemicals. Powders are unlikely to dissolve thoroughly, resulting in clogging the in-line solution filter. This can reduce or stop water flow to the brush.
  • Page 9: Maintenance Of Machine 6

    MAINTENANCE OF MACHINE VACUUM MOTOR Motor brushes can be replaced with Brush Set, Part No. 741008. Brushes should be replaced only once. More than once brush replacement will cause very high current consumption. This undue current consumption lowers overall machine performance and is not in the best interest of economical machine use.
