Maintenance

Depending upon the frequency of use, the Pump/Spray/Heater system of your Scout
or Seahawk should be cleaned with a solution of two gallons of water and one quart
of white vinegar, or an anti-browning solution mixed according to the manufacturer’s
directions. This will prevent a buildup of alkaline deposits in the pump and spray jet
of your floor wand,

Make sure that all excess cleaning solution has been drained from the solution

2,

Add water and vinegar or anti-browning solution.

3,

appropriate area for this operation. )

5.

As soon as it is apparent that the solution (not residual water or cleaning

chemicals) is being sprayed out of the jets, turn off the pump and allow the unit

to sit for approximately five minutes to allow any alkaline residues to dissolve.

Empty the solution through the wand,

6.

7.

Rinse the system with one gallon of clear water by pumping through the wand.
NOTE: If your machine is used on a daily basis or several t[mes each week you

should follow the above procedure every two to four weeks. If the unit is used

once per month or less frequently.

(Make sure that you are in an

CAUTION: When a portable in-line water heater is in use, always use approved high
temperature hose. This hose connects the machine’s pump to the cold water inlet of
the heater and the hot water outlet of the heater to the wand. This hose, so
connected, increases the life of the pumps.

At least once each month inspect all of the vacuum hoses, filters and electrical cords
for cracking or fraying.

At least every week apply silicone lubricate to all pressure fittings.
