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. Each week rinse, dry and return the foam filter (Item #22) at the bottom of the vacuum tank below the vacuum motor.
2. Clean the vacuum tank. Release the clamps on each side of the top of the vacuum tank. Lift the filter assembly out
of the vacuum tank and set aside. Wipe the inside and outside of the vacuum tank with a clean dry cloth.
3. Empty and check the filter assembly. Empty the recovered soilage into a suitable container and remove and shake
the cloth filter bag to remove clinging dirt. Lightly brush the inside of the cloth filter bag to remove embedded dirt .
Check the cloth filter bag for tears or holes; repair or replace if necessary. Install a clean paper dust bag into
assembly into the cloth filter bag and place them back into the vacuum tank.
ELECTRICAL CABLE:
Check the cord for any nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.
VACUUM TANK ASSEMBLY:
1. Gaskets: Clean the Cover Seal Ring gasket.
2. Vacuum Motor Guards: Inspect for dirt or damage and replace if damaged or filled with dirt.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
1. Check the paper dust bag (Item #32) each time you start and finish vacuuming. A clogged and dirty dust bag
restricts air flow and results in reduced suction and overheating.
2. While vacuuming, stop every two hours or as needed to shake out the paper dust bag (Item #32). Replace the paper
dust bag when necessary. Note: Lift both paper dust bag and cloth filter bag out at the same time to avoid ripping
the paper dust bag, especially when it is full.
3. Once a month (or more often if necessary) hand or machine wash the cloth dust bag (Item #31) and let it AIR DRY.
DO NOT PUT IN DRYER.
4. Once a month (or more if necessary) clean the foam filter (Item #2) between the motor guards, located inside the
vacuum tank under the paper dust bag and cloth flter bag. To do this remove the top piece of the motor guard (Item
#1) and remove the foam filter (Item #2). Shake it out, rinse it and let it air dry thoroughly. Before the next use, re-
install a DRY foam filter (Item #2). Replace with new foam filter if it becomes worn or damaged. Re-install motor
guard (Item #1) by firmly snapping the guard in place.
5. Each week rinse and air dry the foam filter (Item #22) at the bottom of the vacuum tank below the vacuum motor. To
do this pull out the round rubber support (Item #21) and remove foam filter (Item #22). Rinse the foam filter and let
it air dry thoroughly. Before the next use, re-install foam filter (Item #22) then re-install round rubber support (Item
#21) into the canister to support the foam filter.
