Connect Solution Hose
Connect the high pressure solution hose to the Olympus using the female quick connect on the front
of the switch plate. The solution hose is then attached to the cleaning tool.
Connect Vacuum Hose
Connect the vacuum hose to the unit using the 2” Flash Cuff connecter included on the vacuum hose
supplied with the Olympus. The vacuum hose is then attached to the cleaning tool.
Switching on the Olympus
1. Switch on the Pump. Open the valve or trigger on your tool to open the solution line, wait for
the pump to prime and for pressure in the solution line. If pump fails to prime see methods
below to manually prime the pump.
2. Turn on the Heater (if Equipped). It will take a few minutes for the heater to reach working
temperature.
3. Turn on Vacuums
4. Begin Cleaning.
Pump Prime
Pump Prime Lever (if equipped)
Push down and hold the pump prime lever on the back of the unit. Release the lever when water has
filled the pump and wait for the pressure to build in the solution line.
Manual Pump Prime
If the pump does not prime quickly, the vacuum may be used to aid priming:
• Direct the end of a short prime hose (NM5080 sold separately) into the vacuum barb on the front of the
machine. The prime hose, NM5080, has a quick connect into the machine on one end and is open on the
other.
• Turn on one or both of the vacuum motors.
• Turn on the solution pump.
• Cup a hand around the hose & barb to increase the vacuum suction on the hose.
• When water is flowing out of the hose, direct the hose to the solution tank and turn off the vacuum
motors to ensure the flow continues when the vacuum is removed.
• When the flow is steady, turn off the solution pump, remove the hose, and proceed with machine set-up
procedures. If the pump still does not prime, or if flow is low or unsteady, check the hose from the
solution tank to the pump (as well as the inline filter) for clogging, kinks, or restrictions. Clean or replace
hose and/or filter and repeat the priming procedure.
If you are having trouble with the pump, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
