MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance procedures assure better operation, fewer repairs and longer life for your machine.
WARNING! - Always disconnect the machine’s electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any clean
up, repairs or maintenance of the machine and when leaving the machine unattended.
CLEAN THE MACHINE AFTER EACH USE:
1. Wipe the outside with a clean, dry cloth.
2. Clean the collector tank: Release the clamps on each side of the tank and head assembly. Lift the head assembly
off and set aside. Lift the filter assembly out of the collector tank and set aside. Then wipe the inside of the collector
tank with a clean, dry cloth.
3. Empty and check the filter assembly: Empty the recovered soilage into a suitable container and shake to remove
clinging dirt. Brush the outside of the filter bag to remove embedded dirt. Check the filter assembly for tears or
holes; repair or replace if necessary. Install the clean filter assembly into the clean collector tank.
ELECTRICAL CABLE:
Check the cord for any nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.
VACUUM HEAD ASSEMBLY:
1. Gaskets: Clean the Vacuum Head gasket and the float shut-off gasket.
2. Float Shut-Off Device: This should move freely. Remove any debris or strings from the float cage.
3. Head Assembly: Replace and leave ajar if the collector tank is damp to prevent mildew.
WHEELS AND CASTERS:
Check these for cuts and nicks. Remove any strings or debris that may restrict the free movement of the wheels. Wipe
the treads clean.
