5.1 Clean Vacuum Float Assembly Screen
Inside the recovery tank, on top of the stand pipe, is the vacuum float assembly. It
functions to prevent debris and water from being sucked into the vacuum motors.
Operating the equipment without the float assembly or with a poorly maintained
assembly, will greatly decrease the life of the vacuum motor and will VOID your
warranty.
If debris builds up on this filter, it will reduce
the vacuum air flow and may cause a significant
decrease in the rate of water recovery. If debris
prevents the float ball from moving or seating inside
the assembly, it may not stop the airflow when the
tank fills with water and water will be sucked in the
vacuum and blow out the exhaust.
To clean, twist off the float assembly from the stand
pipe and clean the screen. Pull fibers and lint off
and rinse with clean water. Push the assembly back
onto the stand pipe and replace the recovery tank lid.
This screen should be cleaned daily, especially if the carpet extractor is being operated
in an environment which has an abnormal build-up of lint and debris, such as cleaning
newly installed carpet. Loss of vacuum is most normally associated with lint build-up in
this filter at the top of the vacuum stand pipe.
5.2 Rinse Out Recovery Tank
Build-up of fine silt and debris can damage the auto-dump pump and dump valve. Clean
out the recovery tank on a regular basis to extend the life of these components as well as
keep the tank and machine smelling better.
