This machine must be connected to the electrical ground to protect the operator from electrical shock. The machine has an approved power cord with three conductors and a plug with three terminals. Connect the plug to a receptacle that has three holes and is connected to the electrical ground. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the ground wire. Never connect this wire to any terminal other than the ground terminal.

This machine uses a 120 volt AC 60 cycle electrical circuit. Make sure you have the correct frequency and voltage before connecting the power cord to an outlet. The machine has a plug as shown in Figure 1. If a receptacle connected to the electrical ground as shown in Figure 1 is not available, have one installed by an electrical contractor.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

•

Before use, the equipment must be correctly assembled with all of its components

•

Check that the electrical outlet is correct for use with the plug on the machine

•

Before connecting, check that the specified motor voltage corresponds to the main voltage available

•

Never use the equipment near flammable, explosive or toxic substances: sparks from the motor could cause dangerous reactions.

•

Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet when leaving machine unattended or before attempting any repair.

•

Service and repair should be done by qualified personnel only. Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts.

•

Machines with dual or triple vac motors can be run together or independently as the job requires.

•

Dry soil can be vacuumed directly into the tank or into a disposable paper bag fitted onto the vacuum inlet.

•

For wet pick-up, remove HEPA cartridge filter. The machine then needs to be equipped with a shut-off float. As the tank is filled to capacity, a float rises and seals the vac intake, causing a loss of vacuum. Switch off the vacuum when this happens and bring the machine to a drain.

•

To empty the machine, remove the motor head assembly and dump out the contents of smaller units.

•

With both wet and dry applications be sure to frequently clean the filter. This is especially true when the vacuum is being used with strippers and floor finish.

Store the cord on the hook.

2. Store the appliance indoors, away from sources of heat.

3. This appliance is provided with an automatically reset thermal limiter to avoid damage to motor. If thermal limiter operates do one or more of the following:

• Change the bag

• Clean or replace the cartridge filter

• Check hose and tank inlet for any obstructions

• Wait a few minutes for the thermal limiter to re-close the circuit

(Every six to twelve months)

(Every six to twelve months)(Every six to twelve months)

1. Check filter for wear, replace dirt saturated filters that do not respond to normal cleaning.

2. Inspect gasket seals and replace those which have begun to leak.

3. Examine carbon motor brushes and commutator.

Servicing The Filter

The filter is accessed by lifting the head assembly off the tank. The cartridge filter are removed very easily. First remove the filter retainer bracket by removing the 2 screws that secure it in place. The cartridge filter will then slide off of the support assembly.

Note:

Note:Note:

• Be sure to frequently clean the filters.

• Worn filters can affect vacuum performance. Replace the filters when they become worn out and normal

cleaning will not restore vacuum performance.
