3.0 OMNIFLEX WET/DRY VACUUM SYSTEM
3.1 Introduction
Inspection:
Carefully unpack and inspect your new OmniFlex Wet/Dry Vacuum System for shipping dam-
age. Each unit is tested and thoroughly inspected before shipping. For instructions regarding any shipping
damage, contact Kaivac, Inc. immediately. All returns must have a Return Authorization Number (RAN),
which is available by calling the Kaivac Technical Support Department at 1-800-287-1136.
Equipment Precautionary Statements:
Use the equipment for the purposes specified by the manufacturer.
Do not remove the float shutoff.
Avoid running the vacuum with blocked flow for long periods of time. This may cause product damage.
Always test chemicals for compatibility on the desired cleaning surface before cleaning.
Replace any damaged cords before using.
Water Damage Prevention to Buildings:
The OmniFlex is to be used on water-resistant building surfaces only. This includes concrete, terrazzo,
ceramic tile, and quarry tile.
The OmniFlex may be used for stripping on vinyl composite tile floors, but daily cleaning of resilient
flooring using the OmniFlex is not recommended.
Never overflow the vacuum recovery tank.
Discontinue use if any leaks occur.
CAUTION:
Prior to cleaning, always inspect the area to ensure that the surfaces are water-safe. In ad-
dition, check for poor construction, damaged walls and floors, missing or damaged tiles or grout, missing
or insufficient caulk, and loose wall coverings. If problems are discovered, resolve them prior to clean-
ing in order to avoid any harm that may result from exposure to water or cleaning solution.
Chemical Use:
Only use chemicals approved for use with the OmniFlex. Use of non-Kaivac approved chemicals may
cause machine damage and will reduce warranty periods.
Keep the appropriate chemical product MSDS on hand at all times (go to www.kaivac.com for updated
copies of Kaivac chemical MSDS sheets).
