 Safety Precautions: 

 

Always  use  safe  and  common  sense  precautions  when  working  with  Air-Care  equipment.    Do 
not  block  walkways  with  equipment,  and  remove  delicate  and  breakable  articles  from  the 
immediate work area.  The following are precautions that should be reviewed by all persons who 
will be involved in the cleaning activity. 

 

 

There are no user serviceable components in the COBRA-5; only trained technicians should 
attempt to make internal repairs on this equipment. 

 

Never use the COBRA-5 in a wet environment. 

 

Always turn off the main power switch on the COBRA-5 panel when the brush and cable are 
laid down to prevent injury if the “FWD-OFF-REV” switch is accidentally activated. 

 

Be sure all power cords and electrical extensions are rated to meet or exceed the original Air-
Care power cord spec’s, and inspect AC power plugs to be sure the ground pin is in place. 

 

Never connect power to Air-Care equipment unless all covers, and safety shields are in place. 
Mechanical and electrical parts could activate and cause injury. 

 

Never allow anyone but a properly trained technician to use Air-Care equipment or cleaning 
products. 

 

All  Air-Care  equipment  is  designed  for  US  standard  115  volt,  60  Hz  AC.    Most  Air-Care 
equipment can  be special ordered to meet other  worldwide standards for a reasonable  price 
and delivery schedule.  Always check the specifications on the Equipment before connecting 
electrical power to Air-Care equipment. 

 

Keep  the  cable  clear  of  breakable  objects  as  it  can  flip  and  twist  during  higher  torque 
applications. 

 

Turn off main power switch when removing or replacing the Flex-E-Bristle Brush.
