INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your TORRENT for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and inspected before shipping. Any shipping damage
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:
Select a proper pre-spray for the surface to be cleaned, and apply the pre-spray. Use a neutral pH rinse or detergent (5 to 10 pH) in the Torrent to
prevent premature wear of the pump, seals, and other components. Damage caused by the use of improper or strong chemicals is not covered by
warranty. Powders are not recommended.
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.
Your Torrent is supplied with an HT Technology Triplex Plunger Pump, speci
fi
cally designed to handle rigorous duty cycles and high temperatures.
Seal life is expected to be 3000 hours.
This pump has an oil-bath crankcase, and a sight gauge is provided so you can view the oil level through a small opening in the front of the base
compartment, directly below the ammeter gauge. The proper
fi
ll level is shown by a red dot. Oil changes are recommended every 300 hours, and
on new machines an initial oil change is recommended at
fi
fty hours. Use SAE-15W-40 oil. See PUMP MAINTAINENCE for more information.
Note that the hoses above the
fi
ll port are on quick disconnects to simplify service.
Vacuum motors typically require brush replacement between 500 - 1000 hours.
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.

120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali
fi
ed electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If
it will not
fi
t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali
fi
ed electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary
adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a quali
fi
ed electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords
more than 50 feet (15 m) long.
