SECTION 4 – OPERATION
4.1 – CLEANING A SUMP
1. ATTACH THE SUMP CLEANER HOSE TO THE SUCTION PORT, AND INSERT
SUCTION TOOL INTO HOSE END.
2. RUN UNIT ON SUCTION MODE. (SEE INITIAL STARTUP 3.3.4.)
3. WHEN VACUUMING OUT THE SUMP, ATTACK THE SOLIDS FIRST.
POSITION THE SUCTION TOOL IN THE AREAS THAT ARE PRIMARILY
SOLIDS. OCCASIONALLY MOVE THE SUCTION TOOL FROM THE SOLID
PARTICULATE IN THE SUMP BOTTOM TO A PRIMARILY FLUIDIC AREA.
THIS ACTION WILL CLEAR THE HOSE OF SOLIDS REDUCING THE
CHANCES OF POSSIBLY PLUGGING THE HOSE.
4. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE FLOAT CONTROL (LOCATED INSIDE THE
SUMP CLEANER) WILL CUT OFF SUCTION TO THE PUMP ISOLATING THE
PUMP FROM THE TANK (PUMP WILL KEEP RUNNING). WHEN THIS
HAPPENS, THE VACUUM READING WILL FALL TO ZERO INDICATING THE
TANK NEEDS TO BE EMPTIED.
5. WHEN THE FILTER IS FULL OR BLINDED, THE VACUUM/PRESSURE
GAUGE WILL READ 10”
+
HG, BUT THERE WILL BE NO SUCTION AT THE
NOZZLE INDICATING THE FILTER NEEDS TO BE EMPTIED.
