Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
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 either the plug
nor 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

Filter Maintenance
All LTD models have lters that need to be checked and cleaned after
each week of use. Regular lter maintenance is a simple way to extend
the life of your machines.
Pump-Out Filters
The pump-out lter is located on the inside bottom of the black vacuum
tank. It is recognizable by its cylindrical shape. To maintain lter:
1. Remove the 7” clear vacuum tank lid.
2. Reach in and remove the nylon mesh pre-lter that covers the main
cylindrical lter. Grasp the mesh, and pull straight up, easing the metal
ring upward, clearing the main lter. A ashlight may be needed to locate
the lter assembly.
3. Reach in and unthread the cylindrical lter by rotating it counter clock-
wise.
3. Once the lters are out, check for debris and damage. Rinse both the
pre-lter and the main lter of any debris or replace if damaged.
4. Place main lter back into vacuum tank by rotating it clockwise onto the
brass nipple.
5. Slide the ring on the pre-lter over the main lter, and push the ring to
the bottom of the tank, so that the entire mesh bag covers the main lter
screen.
Pump Filters
The pump is a half-circle shaped screen located on the inside bottom of
the blue solution tank. To maintain lter:
1. Open black solution tank lid.

GENERAL INFORMATION
2. Reach into solution tank and rotate the dome-shaped lter from its
brass nipple by rotating it counter clockwise.
3. Check lter for any debris or damage to screen. Rinse lter of any
debris or replace if damaged.
4. Place new or cleaned lter back onto brass nipple by rotating it
clockwise.
Auto-Fill Solenoid Filter
The solenoid lter is located inside of the auto-ll solenoid, which is inside
the base of the machine. The lter will be connected to the auto-ll male
QD that extends from the back of the machine. To maintain the lter:
Required Tools:
7/8” Wrench or crescent wrench.
3/4” Wrench
1. Open the machine by undoing the rear latches and rocking the top of
the unit forward until it is resting on the ground and the internals of the
base are exposed.
2. Locate the solenoid attached to the rear auto-ll and pump-out plate.
3. Place the 7/8” wrench of crescent wrench on the rear part of the
solenoid closest to the inside of the auto-ll plate to help prevent rotation
during steps 4 & 6.
4. Use the 3/4” wrench to loosen the 3/4” plug on the front of the solenoid.
5. Remove the solenoid screen and check for any debris or damage to
screen. Rinse the screen of any debris or replace if damaged.
