MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance,
fl
ush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day. Once a month, minimum, run a
fl
ushing compound
through the machine to break up any mineral or chemical build-up that may have formed. The vacuum motor, pump motors, and the pumps 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 500 -1500 hours (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.
