SET-UP:
Connect the vacuum/recovery hose to the vacuum inlet hose barb on the recovery tank. Connect the
dump hose to the hose fitting on the rear of the machine. Check filters. Put the lid on the
recovery tank. Plug the machine into a grounded outlet.
VACUUM OPERATION:
A switch is provided for each vacuum motor. The machine can operate with either one, or both, vacuum
motors running.
VACUUM SHUT-OFF:
When the recovery tank is full, the float system will shut off power to the vacuum motor(s) to prevent
water from entering the motor(s). The float may not work properly if it is extremely dirty or if there is
foam in the tank. Use a defoamer any time foam is present. Once the tank has emptied sufficiently, the
vacuums will come back on automatically.
PUMP OPERATION:
Always be sure to uncap the pump-out fitting and connect the dump hose before turning the pumps on.
Failure to do so may result in blown hoses or loose fittings; water will damage motors and switches.
The two diaphram pumps on your Flood King work together. When you turn the pump switch on, both
pumps will run, and they will continue to run until you turn them off. Do not let the pumps run dry for
extended periods of time
