INSPECTION:

Carefully unpack and inspect your  SOLUS-500R  for shipping damage.  Each machine is tested and
inspected before shipping.  Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier.  You should
notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or parts.

CLEANING SOLUTIONS:

We recommend liquid cleaning chemicals.  Powder chemicals may be used, but unless mixed very
thoroughly they could cause a build-up in the pump, lines, heat exchanger and/or quick disconnects.  Any
problem caused by a chemical build-up is not covered by warranty.  Use a neutral cleaner with a pH
between 5 and 10 to avoid premature wear of the pump, seals, and/or other components.  Damage
caused by the use of strong chemicals is not covered by the warranty

.

MAINTENANCE:

For optimum performance flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day.  Once a
month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical
build-up that may have formed.   The vacuum motor, pump motor, and the pump do not require any
scheduled maintenance; however, the motors may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours,
and the pump and bypass valve may require rebuild kits after 1000 - 1500 hours, typically (refer to
machine part list for numbers).  Clean the body with an all-purpose detergent, and protect it with an
automobile interior polish.  Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all purpose
silicone spray.

PARTS AND SERVICE:

Repairs, when required, should be performed by your authorized distributor who maintains an inventory
of original replacement parts and accessories.  Call the distributor  from whom you purchased this
machine if you need parts and service.  Be sure to specify the machine model.   Have your serial number
handy.

(and be sure to register your  purchase to activate your warranty)
