Secondary Pump Tubing Replacement (Upgraded machine only)
For the FLEX machines that are equipped with the Cleaner Mixing System upgrade, it will be
necessary to replace the tubing inside the cleaner pump motor periodically.
Because of the availability of two types of cleaner, standard concentrated cleaner and super
concentrated, different tubing will be used for each. If standard concentrated cleaner is
used, such as Defense C, the 16 gauge tube will be needed. If a Super Concentrate cleaner is
used, such as CX4 or CX4S then the 14 gauge tubing will be used.
STEPS:
1. With the machine in the operating position,
remove the 7 pin side cover.
2. Release both tube fittings from the quick
disconnects (depress the collet and pull the tube
from the quick disconnect fitting).
3. Next, push the spring loaded Locking Lever in and
away from the Clamp.
4. Pull the Clamp away from the tubing.
5. Pull the tubing out of the slots and dispose of the
old pump tubing.
6. Take the new pump tube and slide one end into
the slot and stretch around the bearing wheel
assembly and insert the other end into the
opposite slot.
7. Close the Clamp back into place and secure with the spring loaded Locking Lever.
8. Insert the ends, back into the quick disconnects that were removed in step 2.
9. Recalibrate the secondary cleaner pump.
General Maintenance
1. The Squeegee should be wiped down after each use.
2. Place a drop of oil on the adjusting link end fittings and the squeegee pivots once every 6
months.
3. Flip squeegee blades every 6 months and replace blades once a year.
4. Change filter in recovery tank once a month or when needed.
Clamp
Slots
If there is little or no cleaner coming out of the concentrate pump, it may be possible that
the tubing is being restricted by the indentations that the roller in the pump leaves in the
tubing. This typically happens if the machine has been sitting for a lengthy period of time.
Simply remove the tube from the pump and pinch the tubing in those indentations to free
up.
