Edic FLOODBUSTER FB50, Owner'S/Operator'S Manual

Page: 9 / 17

OPERATION OF THE MACHINE:
1. Turn on both vacuum and pump switches. Vacuum
motor will turn on immediately and start pulling
water inside the tank. The pump will not start dis-
charging water until a certain level of water is reached
and the float switch is activated.
2. For deep flooding, you may submerge the end of the
vacuum hose directly into the flooded area. Continue
extracting until the flooding is low enough to use the
appropriate hard floor or carpet tool.
3. For hard floors, attach the squeegee head to the wand
and vacuum hose. Use the wand to recover as much
fluid as possible.
4. For carpets, connect the scallop tool to the wand and
vacuum hose. Use scallop tool and wand to recover as
much fluid as possible.
5. Continue the operation until the task is complete.
Note:
During operation, it is normal for both the
vacuum motor and pump are designed to start and stop
automatically as the float switches regulate the level of
water in the tank.
AFTER OPERATION:
1. remove the hoses and run the vacuum motor for a
minimum of three minutes with only air moving
through the system. Doing so will ensure all mois-
ture is removed from the vacuum system. Residual
moisture in the system may damage the vacuum
motor.
2. Turn off the switches and unplug the power cord
from the machine power inlet and also from the wall
power outlet.
3. Dump the water remaining in the tank after opera-
tion.
4. Rinse the tank with clean water.
5. Drain the tank completely.
6. Detach the hoses from the machine.
