IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine 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 in accordance with
all local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin;
if missing, replace plug before use.
Improper installation of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to
check with a qualied electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the plug will not t in the outlet do not modify the plug or
the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied technician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and
with a grounding plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below.
If a proper outlet is not available, follow the illustrations of
Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary-grounding plug. This
temporary work-around should be used only until a proper
outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied electrician.
When and if this type of adapter is employed, screw the
adapter’s extended tab into place with a metal screw.
However, grounding adapters are not approved for use in
Canada.
Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages
and replace if necessary.
The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is the
grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be
attached to only the grounding pin.
DO NOT use extension cords.
Please Note for America use only.

2.1 - Powering the Air Hog™
To power the Air Hog™, plug the power cord into a
grounded 15 amp outlet. ♦
2.2 - Connecting Hoses
2.3 - Air Hog™ Booster Congurations
The Air Hog™ can be set up as a booster in multiple
congurations on its own or daisy-chained with other
Air Hogs™. See page 11 for more details. ♦
2.4 - Using the Air Hog™ as a Stand-Alone
Extractor
The Air Hog™ can also be set up as a stand-alone
extractor. See page 12 for more details. ♦
2.5 - Emptying the Recovery Tank
Female garden hose
quick connect
Use the included H141V or H110V female Cu-Lynx™ Hose
Connectors to connect 1.5” or 2” vacuum hose to the
Cu-Lynx™ starter on the front of the Air Hog™. The
included H136V male Cu-Lynx™ Connector can be used
to connect 2” vacuum hose to either rear exhaust port.
To attach a garden hose for use with the pump-out, a
female garden hose quick connect will be required. Thread
the quick connect onto the garden hose. The hose can
then easily snap onto the Air Hog’s™ pump-out tting. ♦
The recovery tank can be emptied using the pump-out
feature. Attach a garden hose to the pump-out tting,
place the other end of the hose in a drain or receptacle,
and press the PUMP-OUT switch on the switchplate. ♦

5 - TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 - Vacuum Troubleshooting
Vacuum is not turning on.
Possible Cause Solution
Vacuum may not be getting
power.
Vacuum is not producing suction.
Possible Causes Solutions
Recovery tank is full. Empty the recovery tank.
If the vacuum exhausts but
there is no suction, then
the hose from the recovery
tank to the vacuum motor
is disconnected.
Check the electrical connections and the switch.
Look for loose or damaged
wires.
To check the switch:
Unbolt the switch plate.
Take a picture of the layout
of the wires or tag the wires
for future reference. Switch
the wires from the vacuum
switch with the wires from
the pump-out switch. Turn
on the pump-out switch.
If the vacuum turns on,
then you know the vacuum
switch is bad.
Open the machine and
nd the hose running from
the recovery tank to the
vacuum motor. Check if
it is disconnected. If so,
reconnect it. If it has a leak,
replace the hose (Part #
PH627 if 1.5”, PH628 if 2”).
Vacuum blows water out the exhaust.
Possible Causes Solutions
Foam building up in the
recovery tank.
Boot behind vacuum port
is turned the wrong way.
There is a loud grinding noise coming from the
Possible Cause Solution
Debris has been sucked

are kinked, undo the kink.
Vacuum hose blockage
(if there is no suction or
exhaust).
Clogged lter in vacuum

Hose cus are loose and
causing air leakage.
Lid on tank is loose and is
causing air leakage.
Check for blockage in
the hose, starting from
the cleaning tool to the
machine.
Clean out lter regularly.
Tighten all hose cus
regularly as may loosen
