4.1 Introduction
Inspection: Carefully unpack and inspect your new OmniFlex Pump System for shipping damage. 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 run the pump dry. This will void the machine warranty.
 Do not run hot water through the pump. This will void the warranty.
 Do not run pump when chemicals in the water tank (with the exception of KaiDri in small amounts).
Chemicals in the water tank can be harmful to operator and machine because:
 Chemicals in the water tank will pass through the pump, which may cause premature pump fail-
ure.
 Use of chemicals in the water tank with pump voids the warranty.
 Running pump with chemicals in the water tank will aerosolize chemicals and could harm the
operator.
 Always test chemicals for compatibility on the desired cleaning surface before cleaning.
 Always be sure the water tank and water line filters are clear of debris.
 Replace any damaged cords before using.
 See the S-I-M-P-L-E operation section for proper use of equipment.
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 water tank or 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.
