6 - Machine Maintenance
Good care and regular maintenance of your PowerHead will result in a long, dependable
life for the unit. Keep in mind that your PowerHead will be in full view of your customer.
A PowerHead that is dirty and unkempt in appearance can cause your business
or professional image to suffer. You are offering your customer the latest in cleaning
technology. Therefore, it is important that your company image reflect your desire to give
your customer the best.
The surface finish on your PowerHead is a durable, baked on powder coating and is
easily cleaned with a damp cloth. To further protect the finish, a light coat of good silicon
base polish should be applied periodically.
Lubrication and maintenance play a key role in the life of your PowerHead. Hence,
the following daily and periodic maintenance steps must be followed. Train yourself to
maintain your unit on a regular schedule until it becomes habitual.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect the power cord for cuts, breaks, etc.
Repair or replace as needed.
2. Inspect the vacuum hoses for breaks or tears.
Repair or replace as necessary.
3. Visually inspect your PowerHead for water leaks,
wear damage to the cleaning heads and so forth.
Repair or replace as necessary.
4. Check the jet spray for evenness (see Figure 6-1).
An uneven spray will cause improper flow of the
cleaning solution.
Do NOT spray the high pressure solution in your face
or eyes. Bodily injury can result.
5. Remove the cleaning head (see Figure 6-2). It
unscrews in the same direction it turns during
operation (or clockwise when looking at it from the
underside).
