Tank Draining - Viper Fang 32T Owner's Manual

WHILE OPERATING MACHINE
1. Occasionally look through the clear recovery
tank lid to see if there is any foam build-up. If
excessive foam is found, add defoamer to the
recovery tank.
: Foam must not enter the float shut-
off screen, or damage can occur to the vacuum
motor. Foam will not activate the machines
float shut-off device.
2. Occasionally view the clear tube at the back
left of the machine to check the amount of
cleaning solution that is left in the machine.
3. Occasionally check the battery level meter.
(see machine components, item #3) When the
meter is in the red, recharge the batteries.
: When battery meter is in the red, do
not continue to operate the machine. Battery
damage may occur.
4. If the squeegee assembly leaves streaks on the
floor, raise the squeegee off the floor and wipe
the blades down with a damp cloth.
: Do not use your fingers to wipe or
remove debris from the blades, as injury may
occur.
5. When the solution tank runs empty, turn off
the brush switch, solution switch, and raise the
brush head. Keep the squeegee down and
continue to vacuum until all the dirty water is
picked up. (see TANK DRAINING section to
learn how to drain recovery and solution tanks)
: The brush motors are circuit breaker
protected to protect them from damage. If a
breaker trips, it can't be reset immediately.
You must first determine what caused the
breaker to trip, and allow the motor to cool
down before you can reset the breaker. The
breakers are located on the rear panel of the
control housing.

TANK DRAINING

1. Turn the power off on the machine
2. With the squeegee and brush head in their
"up" position, transport the machine to an
approved area for draining the tank(s).
DRAINING THE RECOVERY (DIRTY) TANK
: Anytime scrubbing is completed, or
when refilling the solution tank, the recovery
tank should also be drained and cleaned.
: If the recovery tank is not drained
when the solution tank has been refilled, foam
or water may
mechanism and cause damage to the vacuum
motor.
1. Remove the drain hose from the holder and
place the drain hose over a floor drain. Twist
off the drain hose plug to begin the draining
process. In order to completely empty the
recovery tank, hinge open the recovery tank
and let it rest on the support stand.
2. Clean the recovery tank after every use. Use a
fresh water hose to rinse out the inside of the
tank. Be careful not to spray water into the
float shut- off mechanism.
: If you are storing the machine for any
period of time, always leave the clear recovery
tank lid off the tank so the tank may dry
completely, and smell fresh.
3. Replace the drain hose plug tightly as soon as
you are done draining the tank.
