INSPECTION

Carefully unpack and inspect your machine for shipping damage. Each unit is tested and
thoroughly inspected before shipment, and any damage is the responsibility of the delivery
carrier who should be notified immediately.

ELECTRICAL

This machine is designed to operate on a standard 15 amp. 115 volt, 60 hz, AC circuit. Voltages
below 105 volts AC or above 125 volts AC could cause serious damage to the motor.

WARNING

Electric motors can cause explosions when operated near explosive materials or vapors.
Do not operate this machine near flammable materials such as solvents, thinners, fuels,
grain dust, etc.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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 qualified 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 fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

All service and repair should be performed by qualified vacuum service representative
or electrician. No user serviceable components are employed in the electrical vacuum
lid head assembly. No lubrication of the motor is required. Before cleaning or maintaining the
machine unplug the electrical supply plug.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. Solution tank should be emptied after each use. Flush pumping system with 2 or 3
gallons of clean hot water.

2. Check and clean vacuum inlet and solution inlet strainer daily.

3. Removable recovery tank, page 7, item 41, should be rinsed clean daily.

4. Spray jets should be checked for correct spray pattern and cleaned if plugged, page 8,
item 49. Spray jets are quick release 1/4 turn type. By twisting item 49 1/4 turn counter
clockwise, jets can be removed for cleaning. Do not clean out spray tips with pins or
wire, this may cause damage to the jet spray pattern and cause streaking.

5. Protect equipment from freezing. Severe pumping system damage can occur if allowed to
freeze.

6. Inspect vacuum hoses for tight connections. Check electrical cable for abrasion or cuts in
jacket. Cord should be replaced if worn or damaged.

7. Clean float assembly and check for signs of damage.

MONTHLY/BI-MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

The Ambassador Solution Pump System should be purged twice monthly to remove alkaline
residue build-up. The system should be flushed twice, once with the jets installed and once with
jets removed. To flush system out, use 1 quart of white vinegar to two gallons of clean hot
water, followed by a clear 2 gallon rinse. Clean spray jets if required.

CORD STORAGE

While not in use storage can be accomplished by winding cord around rear of machine. Cord
hooks are provided.
