  • Page 25: Maintenance

    Section Maintenance Proper maintenance is required to keep the M3-500 operating properly, prevent downtime and to extend the life of your equipment. WARNING: Disconnect electrical power before performing any service or maintenance inside machine base or before testing or repairing switches or power cords.
  • Page 26 Inside the recovery tank, on top of the stand pipe, is the Vacuum Shutoff Assembly. It functions to prevent debris and water from being sucked into the vacuum motors. Operating the M3-500 without the Vacuum Shutoff Assembly or with a poorly maintained assembly will greatly decrease the life of the vacuum motors and will void the warranty.
  • Page 27 A torn filter bag will allow debris past the filter and into the recovery tank. This debris can clog the Waste Pump and the Vacuum Shutoff Assembly. The Hydro-Filter must be examined and cleaned regularly to keep the M3-500 functioning properly: • Push the latch lever and open the Hydro-Filter lid.
  • Page 28 CLEAN WASTE PUMP-OUT PUMP: (With optional Auto Pump-Out System Only) Build-up of fine silt inside the Waste Pump can clog the pump even if the pump is not used, so this maintenance procedure should be performed regardless of whether the Waste Pump has been used. •...

Drain the solution tank before proceeding. Brass Knob 2. Remove Brass Knob from the regulator body.
  • Page 32 CLEAN RECOVERY TANK DRAIN Debris and sand accumulation in the drain valve can damage the valve or prevent it from closing completely. This will result in dirty water leaking from the valve. Use of the Hydro-Filter and regular cleaning of the recovery tank will help prevent this, but occasionally the drain valve will require cleaning or replacement.
  • Page 33 Then turn the solution pump off. 5. Connect any cleaning tools that will be stored with the M3-500. Turn the solution pump switch to the ON position. Direct tool spray back into the solution tank or into a bucket. Turn the solution pump off and repeat for all tools to be protected.
