Maintenance of Recovery Tank Float Switch
See Figure 11. If the recovery tank float switch becomes dirty it can impair its operation. A dirty vacuum shutoff switch
can cause the vacuum motors to not function at all, or not shut off when the tank is full.
If daily rinsing of the recovery tank is not adequate to keep the switch clean, you may need to remove the float arm
for cleaning. The float arm can be removed easily by grasping it as shown below and twisting to remove. It is very
important that it be reassembled correctly in order to function. See Figure 11 for the correct orientation of the switch
float arm.
