ITEM
PROCEDURE
Floor
Squeegee
•
Check condition of squeegee blades and wheels on the floor tool.
•
Rough floor surfaces will cause the blades and wheels to wear out
more quickly. Replace as necessary.
Spray
Gun
•
Check spray pattern. If spray pattern will not pinpoint, clean orifice
by removing it with an Allen wrench and flushing. Replace if needed.
•
If nozzle becomes difficult to move from high to low pressure,
lubricate nozzle with lithium grease.
Pressure
Hose
•
Wipe clean after each use.
•
Check for cuts or frays in the hose jacket, particularly at the end of
the fittings. Replace hose if cuts are found.
Water
Tank
•
Check condition of filter in water tank. Clean as needed.
•
Empty the water tank to prevent mildew and bacteria growth. Empty

the water to the vacuum tank.
Vacuum Tank
•
Empty and flush vacuum tank.

Clean and disinfect.
•
Check the float shutoff screen to be sure it is not blocked or dirty. A
plugged filter screen restricts airflow and results in reduced suction.

elsewhere.

Discontinue use until leaks are repaired.

The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be tested before
each use.

Use a wire or coarse brush with acid cleaner to remove residue from
threads on the coupling and coupling nut. Apply grease when done.
