HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE
FOR OPERATION
Introduction: This machine is a commercial vacuum
that is used to remove either liquid or dry material from a
surface. The material flow into a tank and is held in the
tank.
Instructions for Connection to the Power Supply
This machine uses a 110 to 120 volt AC 50/60 cycle
electrical circuit. Make sure you have the correct
frequency and voltage before connecting the power cord
to an outlet.
WARNING: Replace any worn, cut, or damaged
cords. Replace any damaged plugs,
receptacles, or connector bodies.
WARNING: Do not move the machine over an
electrical cord. Always lift the cord
over the machine.
Extension Cords
This machine has a power cord with wire sizes 16 AWG
(AWG means American Wire Gauge).
WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an
extension cord with minimum wire
size 16 AWG.

HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

The start/stop switch is on the head of the machine.
See figure 7. To start the machine, put the switch in
the "O" position. Stop the motor and remove the
electrical plug from the electrical outlet when you clean
the tank and filters.
For liquid operation, remove the filter bag. This machine
has a float shut-off valve. When the liquid raises the
float, the air stops moving through the machine. Re-
move the liquid from the tank. For the operation, use
only low-foaming or non-foaming detergents.
For dry operation, use the filter bag. Stop the machine
and remove the dirt from the tank when the efficiency of
the machine decreases. Remove the dust from the filter
bag each time you remove the dirt from the tank.
Frequently check and clean the filter bag. Use a brush
to clean the filter bag.
For shampooing (dry foam) the carpet, use a filter bag.
Stop the machine when the efficiency of the machine
decreases. Remove the foam, liquid, dirt and carpet
fibers from the tank and the filter bag. When necessary,
stop and dry the filter bag, or use a new bag.
