Operating Floor Tool - Castex PX-1500HPH Operator And Parts Manual

OPERATION
6. Attach vacuum and solution hose to hose
connectors at front of machine then to floor or
hand tool (Figure 5).
7. Turn "PUMP" and "HEATER" switches off when
solution reaches up to a maximum temperature of
approximately 66_C (150_F). Rotate preheat/clean
knob to read "CLEAN" (Figure 6). While operating,
the "CLEAN" mode will raise the existing solution
temperature approximately 11_C (20_F) at the
spray tips. Example: A solution tank temperature
of 66_C (150_F) will increase to a maximum
temperature of approximately 77_C (170_F) at
the spray tips.
ATTENTION: DO NOT switch from "PREHEAT" to
"CLEAN" mode when pump switch is activated,
pump and gauge damage may occur (not covered
by warranty). Always turn pump switch off before
turning preheat/clean knob.

tips while operating, keep preheat/clean knob in
"CLEAN" mode. Cleaning in "PREHEAT" mode will not
harm machine, this will only prevent optimum water
heat at spray tips.

OPERATING FLOOR TOOL
